I don't use Square for much as we aren't a small business but a tinyweeny business but I would love a 'cart' attachment thingy to be able to be used for the sale of my website products so I could stop using the one from PayPal.

Hi @terri73, thanks for bringing this up! To be sure we get the right information back to you — can you reply with a few more details on what you're looking for in a cart attachment and how it would ideally work with your website? Or what are the features that are missing that would allow you to fully switch over?
Hi Tom,
We use Vistaprint for our website and it only has the option of the PayPal Cart, which is pretty **bleep**.
There are simply not enough option on it for our stock choices and no real options for postage.
It also does not include pictures of the items put into the Cart which means a customer has difficulty in deciding their final Cart buy.
I've never seen this before myself and I would be disinclined to use the site for that reason alone. I would Really have to Want the item to make me continue.
This is bad for our sales.
One real problem I have is that the postage options are total **bleep**.
This means I can only add postage in the sale price of each item, which Is a rip-off to my way of thinking, if the customer buys more than one product.
I have asked about this many times when speaking to customer service boys n girls but of course, all they can say is that they will mention it to the appropriate people.
Vistaprint needs to use another option for the Cart besides Paypal.
I assume they use Paypal because many people use it but Paypal is a difficult site to deal with at the best of time and they are extremely unhelpful.
It would be good if you could make a widget or whatever it is called that Vistaprint could use as another choice for their website builder.
I really like using their builder but this, for us, is a real issue.
It could provide Square will a good avenue for extra customer value and participation.
Cheers,
Kat.
