How to Rename the "productcart" Folder
Please note: The contents of this article apply only to licensed versions of the ProductCart software. They do not apply to stores running as a hosted application under a ProductCart Live agreement.
Steps to Edit it
All of ProductCart's files are by default included in a folder called
productcart. You may rename the
productcart folder to personalize the address of your store, but you should NOT remove it, or alter the folder hierarchy. You can rename the
productcart folder before or after you install and activate ProductCart, but since there are a few things to change if you do this after the fact, it’s a good idea to make this change before you start using the software.
For example, the URL to the default homepage is typically something like:
http://www.YourStore.com/productcart/pc/home.asp
But you might want to change it to something like:
http://www.YourStore.com/shop/pc/home.asp
You must not remove the productcart folder. To rename it, follow these steps:
- Locate the file productcartfolder.asp in the includes directory and download it to your local system using your favorite FTP program
- Open the file with Notepad or HTML editor and change the name productcart to any other name that you would like to use (only use alphanumeric characters in the name and no spaces). Save the edited file and re-upload it to your server via FTP

- Change the name of the productcart folder itself to the new folder name that you have just entered in the productcartfolder.asp file. In the example mentioned above, the file would be edited from
private const scPcFolder="productcart"
to
private const scPcFolder="shop"
