Hello I don't know if this is the right place to post this, or if it has been answered already I have the Shopping cart on my server and it works fine but some things I need help with
1) Are Shopping Cart and E-Cart the same?
2) This is the big thing I want to fix when I go to my Categories any of them that have products on them
I have Available Options: Size 3.5 oz +$1.99 ect, But If I change the main price on the page from 0.00 to say 2.00
and when you click on the sizes it changes the price to 3.99 why is that? I just want to be able not to have the Red 0.00 on the page or be able to add the price to them and the options with out the price changing to more then what it should be.
I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say, and I'm sorry if this was asked somewhere else
Thanks for the help

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
E-cart is just a demonstration cart and based on an old version of AC.
Sale price is Base Price + Option Price.
So, if you change one of them or both, the sale price changes accordingly.
In left/right column and in multiple column layout the Base Price (or Base Price lined trough and Dated Special Price, if Dated Special Price exists) is displayed.
Hope it helps.

I'm it does not I'm new to this shopping cart but I love it more then the others I have used
this is are site
http://onlinedeals.x10.mx/alegro/
We are just worryied when someone comes to buy something they will see a 0.00 in red or see the price of 2.99 and want the 2.99 price cause its smaller but you can only buy the 3.99 price, we are just thinking of taken the Options out and just having more product on the page.
My other Q is I thought I changed it right, but I want to be able to more then just one Columns I'd like to have two, and at least 15 products showing up, if you took a look I don't know if I did that right.
And also are there ways to edit the colors thew .css like with the brown we have can we change the boxes to a darker color ?
Thanks so much for the help!

It depends you whether you use options or not.
With using option you can reduce the number of the products.
To set 2 column layout e.g. in Latest Products, go to Admin/Extensions/Module/Catalog latest, and change Number of Display Columns to 2. Play with the other settings according to your needs.
What would you like to change? The header of the boxes or e.g. the background?

I found were the that prob was lol, and fixed it
I think you already told me this but but were it says Category's Options on the right side, you can change number of columns to display to 4, is there any way we can make that stay at 4 for everyone to see? The 4 is what we would really like to use for this if there's anyway to edit it so it stays at 4 and not 1.
The .css I have to go into were it's downloaded to my hosting folders right? or is there a way thew the site?
We are going to have the site linked up with amazon
If we want to ship Fedex Ground and Usps is there a plugin I need to do ? or anything to make sure I have it right for shipping and the price if it cost more to ship with one?

In admin->modules, you will have category options, manufacturer, and search options.
You can set the the number of columns to display and also set lock column to display for each.
The option for changing the number of columns will then not be shown on a page.
As for the Fedex and USPS, we don't have them yet.
You would probably be best to use the zone shipping plus at the present time.
