I am hoping that at some future stage, it may be possible for Cart Creator to have an integrated site map.

Should I just check back every six months to see if Shopping Cart Creator Pro has been released or is that to soon?

Much too soon.

Agreed.

Now you're just playing with us Scott. Now that I have a search box I'm much happier. BTW, I'm using the footer area, any chance we could have the same control over the Header. I didn't see any way to use HTML in the Header.
Thanks

I think the wait for SCC Pro will be worth it it if the present SCC is anything to go by. No other Shopping Cart Creator is as easy to use especially when coupled with SCD pro. I've tried most of them and others make you beat your head on the table out of sheer frustration!

I've just completed a friends craft website with a shopping cart www.kraftykelt.com and even though one or two of the pics she supplied could do with better focus the creator made assembly so easy.

Will, I was thinking I could copy the site mapper HTML into a page within my hosting where it would not be limited in characters as is the case with SCC. I could embed a link to it either in the SCC footer or in just the home page. Then I could place a return to Home link or some such thing in the mapper. In your opinion, is having a site map in the cart that important? BTW, I did something of this sort with my very out-dated universal-expressions site. There I inserted a page with the site map.
Thanks
BTW; I Love the footer, it's the gift that keeps giving.

You have to look at the whole web site thing as the two sided proposition that it is Sally. On one side you have tens of thousands of businesses, with a wide diversity of products on offer. On the other side you have millions of people browsing the net, some of whom are looking to purchase a specific item and many others who come across an item by chance and make an impulse (unplanned) purchase.

The biggest site map in the world is undeniably Google and it is the place where most folks go when they want to seek out an item. When the Google web bots crawl all over a site, they catalogue lots of data, that is eventually deployed to help someone searching for an item via search engines. What a site map does, is to ensure (hopefully) that no pages are missed out when the web bots make a visit. The fact that the very powerful enterprise solution shopping carts out there utilise integrated site maps, shows the value placed on them by large professional trading organisations. Those integrated site maps auto update as new pages are added to a site.

The internet is huge, but also brings immense global competition. Anything that gives you an advantage in that marketplace has to be a plus point.

Does anyone know if you can require customers to agree to site terms and conditions prior to checking out in SCC Pro ?

That's not possible without modifying the code. You can add a disclaimer on the checkout page.
