Shopping Cart Software Reviews

As well as reviewing consumer products, recently we have ploughed time and resources into providing more in-depth, expert reviews of commerce-related products and services. Our recent reviews of Shopping Cart Software is illustrative of this push, so we hope all of our readers from the online-retail world find our efforts helpful. Regardless of your level of experience, Shopping Cart Software helps you set up an online store to sell your products or services with considerable ease – leveraging a range of features and tools to help you do so in a secure and simple fashion. Although you may think that setting up an online store is complex, with these fantastic tools to hand, we’re sure you’ll be up and running in no time.

As noted in our buying guide for this category, the Shopping Cart Software products we have reviewed (more than 25 in total) fall into two broad categories – hosted and installable. Although our reviews go through the positives and negatives of both of these types of solutions, it’s important to decide in advance what sort of product you’re looking for, based on your skills, knowledge and web-experience. If you’re new to web-sales, you would probably be better off choosing a hosted service (where a user pays a monthly fee in return for management of all of the technical aspects of the online store), which, though more expensive, will be less reliant on technical input from the user. If you’re more confident in web-design and web-sales, however, an installable solution will prove cheaper and more efficient. For more information, check out our buying guide, which goes through the detail of both options more thoroughly.

Our clear winner in this category was Big Commerce, a product that is already powering more than 20,000 online stores (a number that is growing every day). With a range of different package options (ranging in cost depending on the scale and complexity of the operation you’re looking to establish), we’re sure that you will find the support you’re looking for with this service. With no transaction fees, search engine optimization-friendly design and features and a range of additional, ancillary features that help you develop your online store into a real success, we were pretty impressed by everything on offer at Big Commerce.

Other great services in this category include Core Commerce, Volusion, Shopify and Pinnacle Cart, and with 27 products in total (all with their own unique features) it’s easy to find something that perfectly fits your needs and specification. Although you may not have thought you had the technical knowledge to set up your own online store, with the help of these Shopping Cart Software packages, you would be surprised at what you can achieve.
