Ecommerce Software

Some of you close to me may know that I am doing more work with one of my business partners as we ramp up towards the launch of The Fight Channel. One of the necessary areas of my research has to do with figuring out which shopping cart software we are going to use when we do launch that site. Additionally, I am also in the proposal phase of providing another Los Angeles based company with online streaming services and their current shopping cart, while adequate, is not really anything special, and so I’ve been able to use my online research time for double duty (always a good thing!)

If you’ve done any searching online at all you’ll realize there are literally millions of results for “ecommerce software” in Google:

ecommerce software, shopping cart

Smorty asked me to give my opinion on ecommerce software by ashop. I have to tell you that I am favorably impressed by what they offer. Not only are you going to get almost overloaded by a ton of helpful information, there are four pricing plans that are sure to cover your ecommerce software needs.

In fact, I was briefly looking at the “starter” package, and I figured out that with all of the customization ashop offers its shopping cart customers, you could almost run an entire website off that plan for about what it costs to host your own server box at a decent hosting service. And why would you host your own box when you are going to have access to all sorts of features and benefits that you’d have to build on your own.

Things like: SSL security (that can be really tricky to set up, I know :’( ), SEO pages, back up services (I still can’t get CRON jobs right), SMS order alerts? come on! I couldn’t set that up and have it working right for what these guys are charging for entire ecommerce software packages. The list goes on.

I’m definitely going to check them out, especially since they have a 10 day free trial. Add to that they actively promote their own affiliate program, and you’ll likely have a favorable opinion of this ecommerce software provider also.
