    Hello,

    I am looking to upgrade a home run website selling products to a specific shopping cart package. I have looked at websites called aShop, bigcommerce, and a couple other similar ones. Around $25-35 per month with similar features, offering a free trial. Are these the best website to choose when making a basic shopping cart website?

    I see some very low prices for places like iPage, justhost and inmotion. I haven't really figured out what they have to offer software wise because they don't offer free trials. They seem a little too good to be true, offering $100 for Adwords and $50 or so for Facebook advertising with very low per month costs? Not sure what to think about these.

    Whats the best way to go? This is a pretty simple small website not offering loads of products. It has been on the web for a while but not where it should be looks and security wise. It shows up first in google for its given product which is huge right now. I will need this to stay the same when I switch it over which is also out of my knowledge. I know little about websites and very small amount of coding knowledge. Not a web designer, but looking to sell this product. Figured one of these websites offering to do it with thier software would be best. I have a good computer understanding and have used aShop's free trial and gotten pretty much everything I need simply as the program is not hard to navigate with decent customer support.

    I'd say open source is out of the picture because of my lack of knowledge on this subject.

    Thanks,

    Adam

    ZS cart is going to give me an advantage over other eCommerce software companies with a start-up fee and transaction fees? I guess they're lower per month than most which is promising but seeing most of the eCommerce companies in competition with each other don't offer transaction fees I question how competitive they are. What are your opinions on the different plans they offer?

    Like I said I don't know much about web design. I am looking for an easy to use interface that does most for me. I've tried out aShop which is similar to BigCommerce and those type of programs. It was very easy to use and I made a store pretty quickly without much effort. I guess my biggest question was iPage, inmotion, and justhost for their cheap prices and if they're worth it. Anything easy I guess would work but I know very very little about any of this.

    Try woo commerce for wordpress. Am making a site with woo commerce and it's pretty easy to use. It's open source but offers more goodies that your average shopping cart software. Good luck and all the best.

    hi,
    I've also tried isc service pack, which I downloaded here at iscexperts.com
    It really works well in my ecommerce site, user friendly on my end and it has what I need. Try to add them in Skype.
    skype name: cartaddon
    For me I don't also have that much knowledge so good thing they are offering professional installation.
    support is great.
    So try isc service pack
    Free to use.

    I would suggest you to go with one time fine investment which can help you in a long run and can bring you ROI.

    You can go with Magneto eCommerce Platform which is actually easy to use and can full fill all your needs

    According to me shopping cart software offers multiple advantages and costs less as it is available on Software as a Service model. e-commerce store owner will naturally be possessive about the old URLs, hundreds of internal links and thousands of inbound links.

    You should try E-Junkie, It is considered as one of most famous platform as it have no limits on transactions or bandwidth. More ever there is no transaction fee. It is an affordable solution and you can get it in only at 5$ per month :)
