Help choosing between 1shoppingcart and autowebbusiness

Hi

I'm getting ready to reorganize my function of how people pay for an item on my site and have only been using authorize.net and Heartland payment systems. This has not provided me with tracking, analysis, affiliate options, banner ad tracking, etc.

Right now I have one product but I want to expand and offer more products, utilize affiliate programs, possibly some ebooks, etc.

I have heard some say they use 1shoppingcart and autowebbusiness. Can you please give me your feedback if you've used these methods or if you have even a better one to suggest.

Thank you
Sheryl

    I'm using 1 Shopping Cart and really liking it. Once you've done the initial setup (took me a day of faffing about), it's real easy to add new products, get them linked to your affiliate programs, etc. Then, easy to set up tools for your affiliates. And, you can track impressions, clicks, and actions on all your tools (e-mail, links, graphics).

    Wish I'd set this up a long time ago.

    Hi Kevin:

    Thank you for the quick response. Those are my thoughts too - to set this up right since I'm doing a redesign. Just having authorize and Heartland - provides me no options, tracking, etc. I can't give answers to sponsors on how a banner ad or even their biz profile they would create is performing. Nevermind offering upsells, autoresponders, etc. This was set up about 3 years ago and now I want to go about it right.

    Thanks for your feedback and taking the time.

    Does anyone have autowebbusiness and/or a good experience with them? It seemed like they offered a lot for the same price as 1shoppingcart.

    Is clickbank just more for doing ebooks? Is clickbank not as well rounded as say 1 shoppingcart or autowebbusiness?

    Thanks for any help.

      Are you talking about possibly using aweber with 1shoppingcart or whether you can use one or the other on their own?

      The reason I ask is I thought 1shoppingcart and autowebbusiness were the same thing.

      * 1shoppingcart is the main site

      * autowebbusiness is a private-label version of 1shoppingcart for Alexandria Brown, and can also be reached through queen.cart

      I know that the two sites used to be identical when you pulled them up. I just took a look at them both for the first time in a long time, and the main site (1shoppingcart) has changed. Autowebbusiness still has the same look that they both had.

    I am thinking about ditching getresponse and using 1 Shopping Cart.

    Is this wise or is there any reason to use both ?

    Hi Jillian:

    Thanks for your response. You believe that 1shoppingcart and autoweb are the same company? They have different 800 numbers and seem to be a little different. I was wondering if I should go with one versus the other - they do seem to offer about the same things.

    I wanted to see if in this forum I could get some feedback on if one of them seemed to be more progressive or more the one to go with as I'm making this switch from Heartland Payment systems which is really just a gateway for approving my authorize.net processing. Those alone are not serving me any kind of justice for tracking, affilates, and other opportunities.

    When I type in .queencart.com ecommerce Shopping Cart Software it turns into autoweb - I think Ali may have that set for her to be an affilate of autoweb then? not sure and I guess it doesn't really matter.

      KickStartCart.com and CartVille.com are also private-label versions of 1ShoppingCart.com. Private-label is different than affiliate -- Private Label - YOUR branding - YOUR name

      I've got several products by Ali Brown and she has said several times that AutoWebBusiness is her private-label version of 1ShoppingCart.

      Also, I found this while searching on autowebbusiness vs. 1shoppingcart:
      Twitter
      "@amybleser autowebbusiness.com is a Private Label of 1ShoppingCart.com (& therefore identical) We (1SC) run everything on the backend!"
      @amybleser autowebbusiness.com is a Private Label of 1ShoppingCart.com (& therefore identical) We (1SC) run everything on the backend! - FriendFeed

      And in Ali's ezines, she talks about her version, AutoWebBusiness:

      Alexandria Brown's Highlights On Marketing & Success

      AutoWebBusiness: For Shopping Cart, Email Autoresponders, and More
      (NOTE: You may have heard me refer to this as QueenCart.com, because that's my special link that lets them know I referred you. This is the same system as 1ShoppingCart -- it's just the brand I prefer and now recommend.)

      I'd say you would be safe with any version. It looks like a good product, I haven't read anything negative about it, and I've bought stuff from various Internet marketers using it over the last several years without incident. It's easy from your client's end, too.

      There's a 30-day free trial for $3.95. If you sign up for that, sit down and take a look at their tutorials and their back-end office. Tons of info. They don't just leave you stranded to figure it out.

    I'm dealing with similar issues and I discovered ROIcart.com. They're an authorize.net approved cart. They offer a 30 day free trial, which I always appreciate when I'm getting into something new. The system looks good with several different price levels but I'm too new to give any personal feedback. Just thought you might want to take a look at it.

      Sheryl,

      Yes, Autowebbusiness and 1shoppingcart are the same product. 1shoppingcart is the original name of the product. Autowebbusiness is a custom-branded version of the same process that Ali Brown paid for. I checked into this over a year ago and for a large amount of money, you can buy the rights to hare your own name on it. Alex Mandossian and a lot of big names have down this. You can see Ali's and other's names on the clients page.
