A virtual store is a system that enables customers to place online orders from any place in the world through the Internet. All virtual stores share a number of common features, including a product catalog, a shopping cart, and a customer register. In addition, a virtual store is supported by an electronic payment system for credit card payment by customers and direct deposit on the merchant account.

A virtual store is made up of the following basic components :

Shopping cart :

which is basically a list of the products a given customer is buying. In addition, the Cube Stores shopping cart will enable a shopper to store and update his shopping list, to calculate the total cost of his order and to modify the quantity of each product before sending his order.

Product catalog :

once you click the View Details button the system will show the relevant product information. The product's catalog can be used to move through the store's various product categories and add products to the shopping cart.

User Register :

It will allow a store's frequent users to enter their personal data once only. After recording his data as a first time user, all a customer will have to do is enter his user code and password. As from that moment the system will automatically load all of his data with each new purchase.
