Need a software to sell small softs

    Hi Guys! I need a software to sell small softs. The software should also provide a possibility to keep information about customers who purchase my software and correspond with them. And I could have access to the information about my customers at any time. Please advise me what kind of software I should look for.

    Thank you for your help, Nigel. Is it safe to use wordpress for such things? I mean there will be sale information and users’ info. I’ve also read about woo commerce. As I understand, it is like an online shop. What can you say about their tech support? And how to correspond with customers if I will use woo commerce?

    Its just a wordpress plugin. Its exactly what you need. Its really quite simple to deal with. The support is typically community based.

    You will have no issues corresponding with folk either. Everything works out of the box basically. You just have to configure it.

    I’ve installed the Wordpress plugin and tested it. I just can’t figure out how to provide technical support to those who will buy.. I mean how to correspond with them. Where I can find clients’ history?

    WooCommerce is better option for you to start your business.
    It provides lots of plugins for ease of work and don't need many customization that's why it is easy to use it is only second in number of downloads after the WP e-Commerce(paid) plugin.

    Hi,
    Instead of going with CMS, it's better to develop a custom based website, which will be more flexible for changes also will fulfill your requirement.

    Hello Mark,
    If Wordpress will be your choice, you could estabilish a full blown customer support system with AppThemes' Quality Control.
    I've had rather satisfying developer experience with their Classipress theme last year, and now I plan to start my own classifieds site with Classipress+Vantage. They have well-commented and clean code, a pleasure to work with.
    However, WP sites often become a subject to mass exploitation. You can't be 100% sure about the security of your customers' sensitive data on any CMS, but you can implement custom workarounds to make it less likely to leak. For example, you may store sensitive data in two different tables with different access privileges, then make your main table contain only partial data (for example, Name: A**** H****r) and then use some admin panel function to temporarily grant you access to the full data when you need it. That would make your sensitive data very hard to reach.

    There are having number of operators which is provided for various purposes like for shopping, purchasing the things etc. Software make the work done very easily and fast. You can use the softwares like majestic, medical fire, droplr etc. By using the software you will get the detailed information of person who is purchasing the products from that software. Wordpress is also good for you.

    I’ve read a bunch of articles concerning wordpress security. This soft does not provide reliable security.
    More information about features that I need: it should be like an online shop + customers database + correspondence with customers should be available + the ability to search in the correspondence.
    Please, give a link to this software.
