When you login as an admin user to LedgerCart, you can:

LedgerCart is extremely easy to customize. LedgerCart consists of one big gateway script 'index.pl' which processes html templates created with Template::Toolkit.

Template::Toolkit templates are standard html files which can include Perl variables within [% and %] delimiters. You can copy the default templates and modify them as you please.

New pages can be added by creating standard html files and linking them to 'templatesfolder/header.html' or 'templatesfolder/sidebar.html'.

You can also customize the theme.css to change the colors and other look and feel according to your taste.

Expert users can modify the 'index.pl' file to add their own variables which can be interpolated within your LedgerCart templates.

Our also offer customization services.
