If so, do you know how to put in a gift certificate promotion? My website will not launch in time for Christmas sales. It will probably launch 1 week before Christmas (after a full critique on SUN, of course)
so I was thinking I could have gift certificates. Design and print nice ones. BUT there are options for sales and the ability to limit the sale items to categories. I just do not see how to use a gift certificate on my items.
Has anybody done this with any shopping cart?

to the person of their choice. It is possible to print out a certificate - so there is a peice of paper to gift, but redemption is still electronic.

I did have a Prostores website and was not happy with it at all. I couldn`t add the product attributes that I wanted, manage inventory or offer gift certificates. I felt they were offering extremely limitted functionality for the hefty monthly rate they charged (I had the business package for $29.95). For example, if you look at their package comparison chart you`ll see that would have to pay $74.95 for `Advanced promotional capabilities`, including storewide sales, quantity discounts, and promotion codes. Also, I felt their webmail was extremely frustrating to use.
I don`t mean to sound negative - just giving you my opinion. I recently switched over to a free open source solution (ZenCart) which was a bit more work to set up intially, but offers many of the options that I need.
This is what my web dudes offered me. I do have the 29.95 package. And it does look like I can have product or storewide sales. (not gift cert.)Plus a featured category section. It says I can export import usimg quickbooks pro 2007 (and some others) Of course, this is all my reading, I have not attempted to use any of this functionality. I have heard great things about ZenCart from a variety of forums.
Too late for now. Maybe later. Thank you for the heads up and luckily I will launch during the S L O W season which will give me time to adapt and conquer.

You may want to look at:
http://www.mals-e.com/home.php
Mals-e shopping cart.
I use it, and it`s free to use ( I have only a few items, and not really ready to go online, so my site is limited as of now). You can set up multiple stores, fix the shipping to your needs. And you can offer gift certificates. You will need a form to collect information, but their online help forum has one provided by a user.
I am not affiliated, but this one works for me. They don`t process funds, you need a paypal or other processing account. I would visit Mals-e and read about the cart & check the info on the forum. It may actually help with your purchased shopping cart.

for now I am using Pro Stores, I am about ready to launch and any changes would be me right over the edge of the insanity I am holding onto. What is worse than insanity? I don`t know, but I also do not want to find out.
