Creating an about us message

The About Us page lets you tell visitors about your business. Use this page in your Quick Shopping Cart storefront to present an overview of your company. This establishes trust and builds confidence in the professionalism of your business. People can be hesitant to buy, much less provide their credit card, to an organization that they don't trust.

The About Us message displays in your Quick Shopping Cart storefront as a separate, non-product page. To view the page, visitors click About Us at the bottom of the store page.
