Selecting a Shopping Cart Service
Thursday, October 02nd, 2008 | Author: techconsumer

The purpose of an online shopping cart is to allow a reasonably straight forward way for users to list and sell their products. BizShoppingCart is one such good service, owned by Vendor Solutions based in Los Angeles, with a demo site here.

BizShoppingCart offers essentials that every such service should offer, but not always does:

1 ) The ability to customize the layout of store pages. Customization includes HTML coding and meta tags.
2 )  Several page styles are available to choose from.
3 ) The back-end technology platform is Java, which is also indexable by search engines.
4 ) The store includes a link exchange management, gift certificates, coupon code options, an affiliate program, in addition to a newsletter program.
5 )  The support team is helpful in answering questions, including programming queries to organize products within the store.
6 )  The store services come in 4 packages, all affordable for up to 10,000 products.
7 )  FTP access to site files is available.
8 ) Good website statistics, inventory tracking, and customer service management tools.

It is important to note that this shopping cart solution is generally geared more for experienced web designers. In addition, a user may be charged for store customization by BizShoppingCart’s own designers.

Do remember that the best match for your e-commerce needs is the Shopping Cart Software which brings to the table the things that you consider the most important. It is recommended that you try out the demo store before making your final business selection.
