Which e-commerce Software Do You Use?

e-commerce Options -

If "other", please list here.

Thanks!

 

I use Microsoft Commerce Server and Paypal both but I mainly use Paypal for services and MSCS for products.

 

I use Paypal cart on a few sites.

Other sites I use osCommerce MS2.2/creloaded versions with paypal and authorize.net modules.

A client of mine uses Interchange...now that's a tricky system to manage.

 

Isn't MSCS real pricey, like $5K to $20K?

 

Any user comments on cubecart (cubecart.com)? It's a $69 software package.

Thanks. Do you use that mhdoc? Any feeedback?

 

I use Interchange, which is open source. http://www.icdevgroup.org/ Red Hat spent millions developing it for some very large clients and then made it open source when they got out of that business.

It's can do anything you want, but the learning curve is steep and it isn't something a beginner should attempt to use. It's best for larger operations with a lot of products. Google uses it for their store. Backcountry.com (IR top 50 sites) uses it.

 

Visit www.mhparts.com to see it in action. Keep in mind this is a VERY new site and we have just started loading products. So far it has been easy to work with and seems to do what it needs to.

 

joomla has Virtucart that is a 2 minute install with some great features, and is free.

Currently using Yahoo Merchant services and a legacy store, but will be moving over in Jan.

 

I'm using osCommerce right now, but have been watching Chemo's project X with some interest. Anyone else looking at this?

I've also used phpShop and customized some of the back-end. It's not too bad. Kind of like a slimmed down osCommerce.

 

Looks as if OS is the most popular.

Does anyone run a subscription based site, as opposed to a retail site? That's the type of e-commerce I am seeking. What do you use? If you don't mind, please give a link to your site so I can take a look. I believe PayPal handles this well but their fees are on the high side.

Thanks again for all of the feedback.

 

Simple old paypal.

 

PayPal used to have an unprofessional stigma attached to it. Now if you don't take PayPal on eBay, you are toast.

 

Yep your correct however since I do develop against it I use the developers edition and give the code to clients. And since I am a Microsoft developer shop pricing does not matter as I am able to afford the cost as I pass it on to customers.

 

I think 1 in 10 online stores are yahoo stores these days.

 

How about ebay stores?

 

I use oscommerce, i have used this on near 20 client sites because

It can be customized and SEO url's (http://www.yourwebsite.com/sony/sony-camera.html) like in the links with product name and category name in the URL and meta titles as well as Google Site Map and Froogle Feed

 

Every (good) cart can do that these days. I found oscommerce, especially on the backend, too confusing too use. Tons of options plastered all over the place, most of them you use once and never need again. Too much to look at.

I think yahoo has them beat, mainly because you can integrate real time inventory from an external database and you can send orders directly to a database via xml. Makes managing inventory, orders, and customers so much easier.

 

i am not agree with you because as for my point the carts can be optimized only for the basic SEO and not advanced SEO as in the oscommerce.

I am also SEO expert and working in this field from last 6 years. I have found that SEO for oscomecre is best and well inedexed and ranks well. My client sites ranks well with oscommerce
