Shopping Carts
Recommended Shopping Carts

There are tons of shopping carts out there and many of them are good ones.  I had a number of them recommended to me, but none more so that 1 Shopping Cart.  In doing my research, I found that many of the top internet marketers use 1 Shopping Cart -- that spoke volumes to me.

There are also many other excellent carts available including a number of them that are free. Scroll below for more information about free solutions.

1 Shopping Cart* has all the features of a high quality shopping cart. And, it's easy to set up and use. There is excellent documentation and they have easy to follow tutorials. I set up a shopping cart for one of my sites in one evening having never used any shopping cart program prior. (That means it HAS to be easy!)

In addition to all the standard features of any good shopping cart package (product selection, check out, customer databases, etc.), 1 Shopping Cart also offers upgraded packages that contain lots of features that you would otherwise have to pay for separately.  For example, in their Professional package, you also get all the following included with your shopping cart package:

* Autoresponder system with unlimited mailings

* Ad tracking capabilities with reporting

* Digital product delivery capabilities (ebooks, mp3 materials, etc.)

* Affiliate program (fully integrated)

Depending on your needs, you may find one of 1 Shopping Cart's more basic packages to be all you need. Free or extremely low cost trial periods are also available.

Free Shopping Carts

If you don't wish to pay for a shopping cart as robust as 1 Shopping Cart's, you might want to consider simply one of the many inexpensive (or even free) shopping carts available to you. One such option is Agora Cart. You may also wish to try a search for "free shopping cart" and then explore several other options that are presented you.

You might also consider using a PayPal cart.  PayPal's system is easy to set up, and there's no cost to use it other than to pay a small percentage of each transaction. (With any shopping cart with the ability to accept online payments there will be fees associated with processing credit cards for payment. PayPal incorporates these fees into their system). Check out PayPal's shopping cart -- I've used the one called "PayPal Web Site Payment Standard" and it has worked really well for my needs.

 

* I am an affiliate for this provider and make a commission on each sale made if you use the links I've provided. However, rest assured that I NEVER recommend products for the sake of commissions alone. I have personally used and endorse each product I recommend. I also I recommend many products for which I have no affiliate connection. If a product I recommend does have an affiliate program, I do take advantage. There is absolutely no extra cost for anyone purchasing through an affiliate link.
