Shopping
Cart Software
Many people
spend so much time worrying about the merchant account and
hosting aspects of their web site that they forget to take
a hard look at which shopping cart to use. The shopping cart
is software that allows customers to add one or more products
to a virtual "shopping cart", but it also determines
the checkout process that your customers will experience.
It is important to find a shopping cart that not only has
advanced features like automatic tax and shipping calculations,
coupons, inventory management, etc, but also lets you tailor
the checkout pages and process how you want it.
How we Rated Them
We rated
our shopping cart software based on its ease of use, ability
to customize the checkout pages to match your site, and the
simplicity of the checkout process for your customers. |

The
Winners |
 1st
Place: |
Bizhosting
Although
it is not software you can install on any server, but rather
part of Bizhosting's integrated commerce package, Bizhosting's
shopping cart impressed us with the number of advanced features
it offers for free--including inventory control, credit
card processing, address book, built in support for USPS,
FedEx, and UPS shipping tables, e-mail receipts for customer
and merchant, and return customer recognition. In addition,
the checkout pages are very nice looking and easy to use,
rivaling those on million dollar e-commerce systems such
as Wal-mart.com. Visit

 2nd
Place: |
VirtualCart
This
cart is a real gem. It includes just about everything you
could think of, and then some. Features that go above and
beyond include support for multiple currencies and weight
systems, discounting, support for services and non-shippable
items, product upsell, online checks, support for multiple
payment gateways. Best of all, you don't have to install
it on your server--it is hosted by Virtual Cart and can
be administrated using a web browser. Visit
