As an artisan, you've most likely been exploring all the possible ways to offer your products to your customers. There are many shopping carts available for purchase or download, but a majority of them share the same disadvantages: they take quite a bit of time to configure, oversell in high-demand situations, and do not offer set stocking times. In addition, some require hosting with someone who supports PHP and access to a MySQL database, have no way to clearly mark an item sold, and most of all, with support of multiple languages, multiple currencies, etc., are just a lot more shopping cart than most wahm's need. eBay is another option, but it generates high fees and it's cumbersome and time-consuming to wait for auctions to close.

Hyena Cart is a simple shopping cart that allows you to stock your store far in advance of when the items are actually available for purchase. This gives you the freedom to perfect your item descriptions, product photos, and pricing on your own schedule. You then have the choice of allowing customers to preview your items before they go live, or simply announcing the stocking time and allowing the items to magically appear at the set time. Hyena Cart prevents overselling and sends out e-mail confirmations to both the seller and the customer so there isn't any confusion about what was purchased by whom.

In addition, Hyena Cart offers creative solutions for offering high-demand items including no-snipe auctions (see the Fake Auction for details), and lottery drawings (where customers can enter a random drawing to determine which one gets to purchase an item).

You can fully customize the look of HC to reflect your own unique business and to match your main site.

This cart is ideally suited to artisans with low-volume businesses and specially designed for sellers of one-of-a-kind, high demand items.
