Q: Where is my "Store" ?

A: The answer to this question depends on what services you choose.

If you have the "shopping cart" (no catalog manager):
Your store is actually on your product pages. If you are just using the shopping cart or shopping cart with customer manager you generate product code which you paste into HTML pages which reside on your server. The cart acts as a service which allows your customer to checkout products and pay you. Please refer to image 1

If you have the "catalog manager" module:
With catalog manager you have a dynamically generated store front. To view your store you need only log into your account and click on where it says "Store Entry Point:[Click Here]" located near the top middle of the first page you see. Please refer to image 2 and 3.

This image shows you what a typical non-catalog store may look like. Don't let this simple design fool you, everything is HTML based so you can customize your product page to look however you want. The above image just shows how someone may setup their products on their own web page. Note the URL on this image refers to an HTML page

This shows how a shopping cart with catalog manager may look like. If you don't have catalog manager, you can design it to look like the above image if you wanted. The big difference is that this page was not coded by the customer. RetailCart dynamically generated this page. The customer just entered some product information and when a customer browses the catalog this page is generated. Note the URL on this image refers to a catalog page and not to a ".html" page.

The above image shows the two different ways that you may create your product. Above the red line is how someone will generate their product information. Below the red line shows how catalog manager allows you to enter information through the browser.
