1.2 What is CD Shopping Cart™?

A FlipAlbumŪ 5 Pro user currently can create CDs for commercial distribution. If he is selling something on the CD, there is no easy way for the customers (recipient of the CDs) to flip and order instantly, like when visiting a website with online shopping. With the CD Shopping Cart™ 1.0 add-on, the FlipAlbumŪ 5 Pro user can create a CD catalog with offline CD shopping features. The customers can then flip through the catalog and make orders right from the catalog itself.

Here is a simple scenario. You are a professional photographer. You sell photographs that you take. You compile these photographs into a catalog, define the price for each of these photographs, design a customer order form, and customize your CD shopping cart with shipping charges and sales tax etc. You then use FlipAlbumŪ 5 Pro to create the catalog CD with the shopping cart information in it. You give this CD to your customer. The customer pops in the CD, the catalog launches and he flips through the pages of the catalog. On each page, there would be an "Add to Cart" button. If he wants to purchase a photograph on a particular page, he clicks the "Add to Cart" button. He then enter the quantity and the sub-total price will be shown. He then carries on browsing the catalog and adding to his cart the photographs that he wants. Once done with his browsing, he can view the shopping cart to see what he has ordered, together with sub-total and total prices. He then checks out by entering the required customer information (which you customized before creating the CD), printing and faxing or emailing the order form to you. Once you receive his order, you process it and deliver the photographs to him.
