CRE Loaded is a content management program for creating online shops - from products to payments. For short this is simply known as "shopping cart" or "cart" software.

CRE Loaded is derived from another shopping cart called osCommerce - it has inherited all of its features and has added many more. This book aims to act as a reference for CRE Loaded users, imparting a thorough understanding of the all the features of CRE Loaded including those it shares with its parent. It assumes that the user does not look after the internet server on which it runs or the underlying code for the site. The book assumes users have already got a CRE Loaded Site up on the server and ready to go.
