I have been using zen cart shopping procedures

Earthfinds 0 Newbie Poster · 2011-03-07T00:04:11+00:00

I use AscenderCart and have found its SEO features far better than any other shoppping cart I ever used. The support I get from them is great. They actually take the time to explain how things work so I can use the software to my advantage.

I'm afraid of using open source software because I don't know if my clients' credit card information is secure. I know I wouldn't want my credit card information stolen.

There are many good shopping carts. It depends on many things and really each shop has different needs. CRE Loaded is a good open source platform.

In my point of view zen cart is best for this..

I thing magento is the best option. It offers complete flexibility and control over the users experience, content, and functionality of their online store. Its intuitive administration interface features powerful marketing tools, a catalog-management engine and is SEO optimized to give merchants the power to create sites that provide an unrivaled and rich online shopping experience for their customers, tailored to their unique business needs.

BigCommerce Website would be a huge plus. It is very much user friendly and SEO friendly. It starts with $30 per month. It is very simple to use; yet have powerful features.

latebloomer 0 Newbie Poster · 2012-06-05T08:16:49+00:00

Tried a whole lot of things. Many carts look good...but clients recognise brands.
Make sure that you show the brand of PayPal.
E-commerce... Magento is good.

alicecoco 0 Newbie Poster · 2012-06-11T05:16:30+00:00

I am currently using opencart.

Valentinesmith 0 Newbie Poster · 2012-06-27T08:04:34+00:00

I would recommend you to go ahead and give MAGENTO a try.
As with this E-commerce solution, you can easily implement many SEO practices which are present there by default like:- URL Rewriting, Categories and sub-Categories different MetaTags, Description and Keywords...

I would suggest you to try it on.
Regards.

Catilyndania,

I'm sure impressed by the way you judge anything. But I suggest you to look at it in much more depth before reaching out and deciding for anything or else you'll get your fingers burnt, as you've rightly mentioned about Wordpress+e-Commerce marriage wasn't that impressive - it needed a different pastor to tie the knot (develop it).

Before deciding for e-Commerce, you will have to keep in mind certain procedures and affirmations, like -

Now, do look for Magento - I've seen the user end perspective, it can really deliver - open source means more open to further development - keep an eye on developers.
While you work on deciding the software - first thing, have a very solid business plan - make business processes connecting with each other with lots and lots possibilities - choose the best possibility for you to start working on - which also means, you would have to do some soul searching before you move - delve into your passion, research it, study the market and the potential areas where your ideas would fly. You cannot sell your mountain gear to sea divers..!!
Check the security levels and procedures required for e-Commerce, there are legal requirements your bank and local government might want to see, cross-check your authenticity, which might mean you could be opening or registering for a trade license, check with your local business chapters to help you out with it.

Then, check the security levels measured with Open Source softwares. Do check out Salesforce.com, that is CRM based software, which could help you to classify your LOYAL customers for future retention and promotional selling and communication.

Then comes in your website design concept, content, SEO, Social Media campaign.

Will give more info Social Media in my next reply, only if you find this interesting and you give a thumbs up to this.

Thanks.

Part 2 - coming soon.

As i can see, you want to create a professional e-business. My advice is to talk with a professional web developer and analyze your purpose. Tell him that you just need a professional website to sell products. Then try to find a trustable,reliable company that make search engine optimization.

Chandan_4 0 Newbie Poster · 2012-12-13T11:05:19+00:00

There are many different types of eCommerce software you can use for your online store. Some popular platfoms are Magento, Sopify, BigCommerce, Presta, etc. but i prefer EasyStoreHosting.
I have tried it, and it genuinely works.
EasyStoreHosting offers e-commerce hosting without any extra charge.
EAsyStoreHosting platform is a good choice for any small business that wants to start an online store and maintain an eBay business and is also good if you want to get an online store launched quickly, especially if you lack technical skills.

The most important thing to do is to figure out what you need in an e-commerce system.
Once you figure all that out, now you have something to research. You go and test demos of all the products then decide it.
