I want to create an e-commerce site that will host no more that 500 - 700 products. In the past I used Magento, but it is way too slow and tedious to enter products. Can anyone recommend a better platform that can easily be hosted on a site like Go Daddy and is fast and efficient?
If you are not looking for too many features. You can consider Wordpress or else oscommerce is best in Open source softwares
Wordpress and Magento are the best platforms available till date. Both of them are dominant in their respective domains. There is a plugin named WordPress Integration Plugin that integrates the two platforms which can give your ecommerce website more functionality. I''ll also suggest you to try Payst, which will surely assist your ecommerce websites.
You can try the Interspire Shopping Cart Service Pack Version. It is free to use and you can even try their demo site demo url: http://demo.cartaddon.com admin url: http://demo.cartaddon.com/admin username: demo password: demo
I strongly recommend interspire shopping cart service pack. http://iscexperts.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11 I've been using ISC (Interspire Shopping Cart service pack) and it really works great for me. Its user friendly, I can manage my products easily. You can visit their site: www.cartaddon.com You should try this.
I think opencart is best for small business, it has everything and lots of free extensions. You should give it a try By the way I wouldn't recommend hosting for go daddy. I have used their hosting the the emails I sent to people got delayed and when I asked them about it they said we don't send them instantly you emails get queued in server to decrease the load on server. Means your verification email for customer can be delayed.
Hi, AJ Shopping Cart is the best user and seo friendly shopping cart software to create your online store for physical as well as digital download products.
So I am receiving all these suggestions about e-commerce, but I don't like Magento at all, it seems very slow and the hosting is expensive. Can anyone tell me more about os?
Try free Customer Management Systems (CMS) first like wordpress, droopal, joomla, etc. They are quite popular and easy to use.
I would recommend Zeuscart - open source shopping cart script for better and fast product upload. Free download.
I recommend BigCommerce. Hosting is included and it's 100% PCI compliant. If you plan to take credit cards on your website (which is recommended for a good conversion rate) you need to be PCI compliant. Most of the solutions mentioned above are NOT compliant.
I would look for something that is free, and possibly open-source. Does your host have something that they offer? Why not try it out?
That's not a good idea if he wants to take credit cards on-site. You are leaving yourself wide open to fees and penalties if you take credit cards on a non-PCI compliant cart.
