Everyone is talking about JustAddCommerce, so we decided to post some of our more popular questions to help you decide if JAC is right for you.

## General questions

### What is JustAddCommerce?

JustAddCommerce is a plug-in component for Microsoft FrontPage which sets up a shopping cart system within an existing web site automatically. A purchase includes the JustAddCommerce program, an electronic help manual, a Quick Start Card and one year of secured SSL ordering service.

### Who should use JustAddCommerce?

JustAddCommerce allows anyone to add commerce to their web site in a matter of minutes. It is not intended for a company that needs thousands of transactions per day.

## Layout and formatting questions

### Will JustAddCommerce work on any server?

Even though JustAddCommerce requires Microsoft FrontPage as a host, it does not require the server or ISP to be FrontPage compatible. JustAddCommerce is real CGI and will run on any type of server, including NT, Unix and Mac.

### Can I create my own shipping formulas?

JustAddCommerce has three built-in shipping methods: by user choice, by weight and by item quantity. Base rate shipping and ship by order total were added later.

## Transaction service questions

### How does the customer know the order is accepted?

When a customer places an order and submits it, they receive a unique order confirmation number displayed in their browser window, along with a custom message that the merchant has programmed into JustAddCommerce.

## Security and hosting questions

The cart is professional SSL CGI technology, and orders are retrieved safely with any SSL browser. Because JustAddCommerce is a commerce processing network rather than a web host, the merchant keeps their existing hosting arrangements and their own merchant account.
