Always Do Your Homework...

This is a head's up to anyone thinking of getting a website. If you plan on doing any kind of ecommerce, do your homework on shopping carts. I ignorantly thought they were all the same and mine is an absolute nightmare.  So say you were on my site and you wanted to buy more than one bag.  Pretty normal scenario.  My crappy shopping cart only allows you to buy one.  So say you add a second bag.  Guess what happens?  It brings in all the orders that have ever been placed on my site.  So now you have 260 bags in your shopping cart!  Ask me if that makes customers warm and fuzzy!

Thank God one of my best friend is a programmer and he was able to help me a bit.  The site is a MESS as we try to clean it up.  Please bear with me.

Ugh.  I go from record sales to no sales due to a broken shopping cart.  I swear God tries to keep me humble.

Happy Shopping...in a couple of days!
