ISO hosted great shopping cart with other features

[exoticpublishing]

Hi all,

Well, I'm in a pickle LOL

I just signed up for Verisign's Fraud Protection & Buyer Authentication program. In the meantime I was also looking into going w/ a new shopping cart company like 1shoppingcart.com which is a hosted company that was recommended.

They have a ton more features that I need, like an affiliate program, tracking system, ezine capability etc.

I was all ready to sign up & thought I better make sure they are set up w/ the Buyer Auth. program when I found out they don't take Pay Flow Link.

I was shocked & a little pissed to say the least. Seems they had problems w/ Verisign's regular service over 2 yrs. ago. I've never had any problems just to be clear.

So, even though I have a hosted shopping cart right now, they don't offer any of the extra features I want.

I don't want to go w/ a regular shopping cart b/c I like knowing that upgrades are made on a regular basis & tech support is always there if I need them.

Can anyone recomend a very good hosted shopping cart that has all or some of the features I want for a good price. 1shoppingcart's pro package was only $79/month.

Also, I'd prefer a PHP system, but will break down & go w/ an MS sytem if it has everything I need :) Seems a lot of them are coded in asp :(

Thanks & have a great day !

Hmm, I guess this is a tough one.

I would say that if you like the "feel" of 1shoppingcart, then also consider QuickPayPro.com at $49 a month. They just upgraded and their system looks awesome! Handles autoresponders, affiliates, payments, etc.

If you are tech savvy, osCommerce can do it all.....and is FREE!!!! It just takes the know how. There are contributions that the community shares that cover just about anything you'd ever need including a full tracking affiliate module,etc. osCommerce is also written in PHP which is definitely a plus in my book.

That's all I have for ya!:)

Thanks for that.

I e-mailed Quick Pro to see if they take the Verisign package, but it looks like you might have to take their hosting which I won't do.

I'll just wait & see.

I'm cautious about taking freebie software b/c I don't want to have to hire someone to give me upgrades, although in the long run it is probably cheaper, but if I have to pay someone $100/month just to install & make sure it's working fine, that's more than going w/ a company that's already doing it.

Yes, I want PHP b/c I need to get somone to put tracking code on the cart or the thank you page.

Thanks & have a good night :)
