Scottsdale, Ariz., July 20 /PRNewswire/ — The Go Daddy Group, Inc. parent company of GoDaddy.com, the world’s No. 1 registrar, has announced the integration of its Quick Shopping Cart(TM) product with both eBay(R) auctions and Froogle’s(TM) search engine shopping service. These integrations, provided free of charge to new and existing Quick Shopping Cart(TM) customers, allow users to quickly promote and sell products from their existing online store in two popular commercial venues, without the need for any technical development skills. Quick Shopping Cart(TM) helps individuals and businesses establish a worldwide e-commerce presence immediately by allowing them to build an online store, or add one to an existing web site, in just minutes.

Utilizing the Quick Shopping Cart(TM) management interface, users can submit their products to Froogle(TM) — a search-engine service from Google(R) that allows consumers to quickly search online stores for specific products — and eBay(R), the online auction house. First, users register with either Froogle(TM), eBay(R) (or both); second, they select the products they wish to submit from their product catalog. Users setting up eBay(R) auctions establish the ”duration” of the auction and the opening bid price. Go Daddy then transmits the information to Froogle(TM) and eBay(R) via API feeds. The user’s products are then included in Froogle’s(TM) search engine database after its’ next backend feed update, usually within a week; the user’s eBay(R) auction is ”live” after eBay(R) updates its backend, usually every 30 minutes.

In addition, all eBay(R) auction customization features can be accomplished in Quick Shopping Cart(TM), such as adding pictures, setting up different payment options, modifying fonts, etc. Users can also view their eBay(R) auction at any time within the Quick Shopping Cart(TM) management interface, and edit or stop their auction at any point in time. Similarly, users can remove their products from Froogle’s(TM) database at will.

”I selected Quick Shopping Cart(TM) because it was very easy to setup, allowing us to focus on generating sales right away, not wrestling with technical problems or complicated setup,” said John Sarazen, who sells patent-pending snoring relief products at https://www.shop.snorender.com. ”It’s been very easy and reliable. And submitting our products to Froogle(TM)was simple. We just clicked the button and the rest was done automatically. It’s a great product!”

In addition to its no-cost eBay(R) and Froogle(TM) integration services, Quick Shopping Cart(TM) contains a large variety of additional features, such as product promotion options, multiple built-in payment options and integrated shipping services with rate cards for companies such as UPS(R) and the U.S. Postal Service(R), robust inventory control, order management apabilities, customer and merchant order notifications and comprehensive reporting. Quick Shopping Cart(TM) is offered through three different tiers-Economy, Deluxe and Premium, with prices starting for as low as $9.95/month.
