Cart Software (the age old question around here)

[Benson]

I need to purchase shopping cart software to install at FQ, in the sub $500 dollar range.

Back in July, someone mentioned CheckItOut shopping cart software by Adgrafix http://www.adgrafix.com/adgrafix/wsmnetwork/ecommerce.html. Is anyone using it?[nbsp][nbsp]I went to the bbs on their website and am discouraged by the lack of answers to some basic questions and the lack of postings in general.

Miva is out of the question since the engine is not installed here.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but what is the answer? I'm not a Perl/PHP programmer, so I can't heavily modify some open source cart to meet my needs.

Suggestions, anyone?

The one I like working with the best is located at http://www.irata.com/products.html - I believe it's around $175-$250 for a single license.[nbsp][nbsp]You can see a great implementation of it here (http://www.designsbymark.com).

Thanks for the info. The most glaring deficiency that I see in Hassan's product is that you have to spend $200 MORE for an extra module so that credit card info is securely transferred. Hoooo, boy.

www.cartit.com/ (http://www.cartit.com/) looks promising, but no customers listed on their site, and no bbs for support. I can see this is going to take a while!

You might want to take a look at this one ?

I personally have not used it but another "FQ" member is trying it
and I saw their information, it appeared to be rather simple, but pretty complete.

Good Luck

Yep, I'm the member who's trying it, and so far I'm happy with it, except for a li'l problem with SMTP which is probly operator error :)

I have used their other product, uShop, for a number of sites and it works well.

Their support is excellent (they have a UBB like this'n) - they even modified one set of uShop applets for me for a special application I wanted, at reasonable cost :)

They have a free demo, which is what I'm playing with at the moment, and all indications are that it will fill the bill for me.

<edited to add this bit> uStorekeeper has an import facility which I've been playing with via an Access DB, and it works just fine - makes it easy to add big licks of products :) </end edit>

Cheers

Hmmm. looks promising, but when I go to their demo store, I see:

&quot;Resources Exceeded

Sorry, System load is too high to process CGI requests.

Please try again later.&quot;

Hopefully they are just ahving a little problem today. Cause the stuff looks good otherwise. And we are getting tired of paying Yahoo!
