Higher Learning for the Internet’s most effective shopping cart - Attend On-line.

What is a Case Study?

RealCart Case Studies are the vehicle by which RealCart University will provide curriculum for our students. RealCart University will showcase different customization efforts of the case study participant including complete documentation on how it was done. This information will become the courseware that we will offer to our on-line students. Initially all of these courses will be offered FREE of charge. At some point, however, RealCart University will offer some of the courses as premium (paid) courses only.

As a participant you will enjoy one on one attention from one of the original authors of the program as you cooperate with RealCart U to customize a portion of your RealCart on-line store at no cost to you. These customizations as well as the full description of how to achieve it will become a course that may or may not remain FREE. Regardless of what price, if any, we may attach to the course resulting from the case study the participant of said study will not be compensated monetarily as a result of “selling” the instructions pertaining to your customization. The benefit to the participant in the case study is the free customization.

A facsimile of the results will be posted to http://casestudy.realcartu.com for the viewing of future students of RealCart U. The courseware shall have a link to the participant’s web site and the web site shall be maintained at all times by the participant. More on the guidelines are available at the Terms and Conditions page. If there is a customization that you can think of that you need help with you may want to consider applying to participate in a case study today. This is a time limited program.

Note that bugs or problems with RealCart itself should be reported to RealCart Technical Support. Bug fixes do not qualify as a valid case study topic. Valid topics would include any customization of the templates including aesthetic, automation, calculation (shipping, tax, quantity discounts), adding cgi functionality or other template related changes. No request is too outlandish for us so be creative! Also realize that just because we are inviting lofty ideas doesn’t necessarily mean that we will be able to fully customize RealCart to do everything exactly as desired by the participant. On average we will be able to come very close to what you want albeit a tad different than your original vision.

Although RealCart University provides this service FREE of charge and will accept no compensation from Case Study participants, RealCartU does request that you participate in Operation Christmas Child by contributing one box for each Case Study in which you participate through this program. See the green box to the right for more details.

What’s the Catch?
There is no catch. RealCart University DOES request, however, that you participate in Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse. All we ask is that you create a Gift Box for Operation Christmas Child for each Case Study accepted by RealCart University. Although the results of this project only occur during Christmas Time you can participate all year long.

Publish your store

Keep in mind that your participation in RealCart University shall in no way obligate RealCart University, its staff or partners to you. You and you alone are responsible for your on-line store. Do not, under any circumstances, delay the publishing of your RealCart on-line store front due to incompletion of customization techniques. RealCart University courses are not designed to be instant gratification to the participating student or case study volunteer. Courses can sometimes take days, weeks or even months to complete. As a result you should never rely on customization help to dictate when or if you will launch your RealCart store-front. Publish your store BEFORE you customize it.
