What eCommerce Service/Program Should I use?

    I'm looking to create an online store for my Mobile Phone business. My inventory is constantly moving - and I only have small quantities (1-4 phones a day). Every item will be specific with pictures of the actual device, and descriptions.

    My question is: What eCommerce program or service would best fit me? I'm a small seller who needs newsletters and easy ways to portray to the customer what items are new and currently in stock. I also don't want to spend too much, or have any of my profits taken away. I've looked into oscommerce, zen cart, flyingcart, and shopify - which one would be my best option? I'm looking for easy to use posting, newsletters, and easily customizable layouts (I'm not that talented at design).

    Let me know your experiences and opinions, thanks!

    Try AgoraCart! Very customizable and Very simple to use. Plenty of support available, if you purchase the Gold membership which is currently $39.95 for lifetime Gold Member Support!

    Any other options? I like that AgoraCart only has a $40 lifetime fee rather than paying monthly.

    Hi Friend, Thats a great idea starting an ecommerce business online, High revenue earning platform. I would like to suggest 3 things for ecommerce as my experience will help you.

    1. If you are planning to buy a ecommerce script, then AJ Shopping Cart Software ,will be the right choice with plenty of user friendly facilities.

    2. If you worry about hosting issue, you can get Zscart - SaaS Ecommerce solution with easy monthly payment option and free trial too. you can make your shop with in five minutes.

    3. If you are looking for free source means, Zeuscart will be right choice. Highly downloaded open source script online.


    Good luck ...Choose one for successful ecommerce business.

    I have tried many shopping carts and I have to say Zen Cart has been the best so far. It is easy to use, customize, and their are many free addons out there.

    I am using the services of Shopify for almost a year now, I am paying monthly fee which isn't a good thing however the platform is highly user friendly, their support ROCK (fast and professional) - I think that for webmasters or business owners with low tech skills its a good alternative. let me know if you have more questions about Shopify or PM me.

    I am partial to osCommerce. If you are willing to pay a few bucks for the software you should try www.ezOSC.com its like osCOmmerce on steroids. They have all of the add ons / contributions already installed in their software plus they have some industry specific software too!
