Best alternative to 1shoppingcart?

BillyBee · 03-02-2011, 08:59 PM

Recommendations for other shopping cart systems?

Tell me who you use and why . . . and if you like it.

Hi Billy

I use Premium Web Cart and highly recommend them.
(you'll see me pimping them in other posts -

)

Here are a few reasons why:

1. Unlimited system replication - I can literally replicate their systems and run unlimited websites with full look and feel and functionality. Think of how Excel works, need another worksheet ...click a tab and there it is. With Premium Web Cart, need a 2nd ticket system for a new website, click the "button". Need to run 8 membership systems, click the "button" 8 times, etc. I do not know of anyone else that does this and it allows me to micro-market my products for a laser focused sales message and advertising message.

2. 1 Click Up Sell - I set up the tree based system to do an up sell sequence before the shopping cart check out and then I do a different up sell after the purchase is completed. You can't do this with 1SC

3. CRM and Project Manager - I never thought I would use these but I've really fallen in love with them over the last month. I'm now saving a ton of money in post it notes - LOL

I don't use their API functions, gift certificates, coupons or some of their other modules like live chat, suggest a feature, etc so I cannot comment on them from 1st hand experience but I can tell you that there is a lot more "stuff" built in and included.

Wow, thanks for this, Amy. Appreciate that.

How is their customer support? I see that they do offer that --- are they pretty responsive and good?

Also let me know if you know of a website I can look at that uses their system. I'd like to see how the order form looks and all that.

Thanks again!

I have been using Premium Web Cart. I spent a while comparing different shopping carts, and I found that it is VERY similar to 1shoppingcart (for the features they have in common anyway) but with some of the benefits & extras that were mentioned above (like running on unlimited websites)!

I have only been using their ticket support and they've been getting back within a couple of days. Their support system is a little clunky but I guess phone support would be better I just haven't had any big issues to warrant calling them so it's all been fine. And they are good at taking any suggestions on board and adding them to what they are planning to include in upgrades.

Amy, with Premium Web Cart, I can create multiple membership sites for the same website?

I have a question about this. You can run 1shoppingcart on more than one website, just as long as you're using the same merchant account, if I'm not mistaken.

So my question is: Can I use a single Premium Cart account for more than one business I have? In other words, I have two separate businesses with two separate merchant accounts. Would I be able to use just ONE Premium Cart account to run both of those?

Right now I have to run two separate 1shoppingcart accounts and I'd love to do it with just one account.

Thanks for the reply.

I found a cool way to sell and it is free so far - who knows where it will go from here. It is located at: www.oronjo.com Has anyone else heard about this?

fgrimes · 03-05-2011, 08:29 PM

Premium Web Cart seems powerful with many unique features. I am stuck on the unlimited replication website, wow!

TrafficMystic · 03-06-2011, 02:28 AM

have you used the API functionality with premium cart yet?

If you have how easy and stable are the features?

You'll get a dedicated person assigned to you that you'll call directly. For me this works well as they get to know me and I don't have to repeat my story over and over each time I call.

The order page can be heavily customized so you can make it look like your site. You can also add and remove form fields as needed.

Yes ...but I'm not sure why you would do that? Why not simply create multiple membership levels?

You can even "drip" the content out at different rates to different membership levels within the same site.

I use Zen Cart for my site. you can download it for free. It's open source shopping cart software, so feel free to make any modifications. The installation is also not that difficult.

James Campbell · 03-09-2011, 11:20 PM

Forget PWC their comparison chart is inaccurate at best and deceptive at worst.

Look into nanacast.

Zen Cart is EXTREMELY insecure and buggy. Plus, if you're not installing this on 256 SSL you're basically breaking every PCI compliance regulation and will probably lose your merchant account.

OS Commerce is free and has been running on one of our sites for 10 years with only minor costs to maintain and update. Our OSC has handled more than 500,000 customers and millions of dollars in orders.

I know it's fallen out of favor but if you need free or low cost it may be a good choice for you.

I think it's even recommended by the clickbank guru who sold millions of dollars of train horns, Commission Blueprint perhaps.
