Hello,

I have a very successful website in which I have been making sales like crazy on.

The sales end is not all that automated. I am looking to get a recommendation from your pro Warriors on a good solution to help automate this.

What I do now:
- Customer places an order. I manually reply to them requesting more info.
- I place all the info I need into a spreadsheet. (VERY CONSUMING)
- I then forward the order to my outsourcer.

What I need from a service:
- Customer places an order. Payment is received in PayPal.
- A follow up email is sent requesting the info we require. This email direct the client to a form to fill the info out.
- Customer fills the info, and I have all the info to easily export to my outsourcer.
- I can also easily export this info for revenue tracking.

If you have any other suggestions on how I could do this, I would love to hear them. If there are any Carts (site runs on wordpress) please let me know.

    I would recommend Magento. It can be fiddly but when it's up and running, it's fantastic.

    We use OpenCart and Magento now after using many others and these 2 are the best of the best in my opinion.. Magento is a bit more difficult, but it is very powerful. Opencart is very flexible and works out of the box, so it is very simple.

    Go to tipsandtricks.com- They have an array of ecommerce solutions that are super affordable, including the Shopping Cart, Integration with Paypal, A Two-Tier Affiliate Program, A Membership Program, Lightbox Capability and much more. Of course you only buy what you need to use. Uploading a lot of new inventory all at once is easy. Adding Tax, Shipping, and allowing discounts is available. These are plugins you add to your wordpress site. I have one website where I sell 4 items. I have another website where I sell 250 items. It's automates the sales process and you can set up automated notifications when sales are made. The documentation is superb and the support is great, too.

    Magento is fully customisable. YOu can use pre-made templates or you can code your own website.

    The way the folders and files are laid out though can be tricket for first time users.

      Magento or Opencart. If you have a good server Magento will do well for you but it can be a bit of a memory leech. Opencart does well for most situations. One of my sites run opencart and it has almost 4k products. With either one I usually hire someone on odesk to write in the functionality I need with a custom extension. I just had something written similar to what you are talking about for under $100 bucks.
