There is no shortage of readymade shopping carts in the market today. The shopping carts are quick to install and easy on the budget. But the shopping carts are often unable to satisfy all the demands of all sorts of industries in a market. They are also limited in the availability of custom features that are required by certain businesses.
This coupled with reasons of incompatibility with certain software and inability to connect with accounting systems, managing custom order processes etc. has given rise to the need of custom shopping carts.

- Custom calculations in the shopping
- Application of tax and labour rules
