Every now and again I’ll hear about how people have come up with ideas to hack an online store through various techniques. The latest technique is associated with The Pottery Barn, but according to reports it seems to work on other sites like William Sonoma.

The Pottery Barn 9- trick actually requires the website visitor to shop around and change the product number in the website address. I won’t tell how to do this.

At Merchant Metrix we’re concerned with our clients’ businesses and want to ensure hacks like this and others do not exist. This concern led us to develop a shopping cart software package that eliminates these and other problems.
