What eCommerce should I use?

    I am going to be opening a computer building business in June and was wondering what eCommerce solution I should use. I will be creating these computers custom so I need the products to be customizable. I also need the options to be cross-product, so if there's something like an OS update I can easily change the option across all my products.
    What eCommerce should I use?

    Hi Putnam, Thats a great idea starting an ecommerce business online, High revenue earning platform. I would like to suggest 3 things for ecommerce as my experience will help you.

    1. If you are planning to buy a ecommerce script, then AJ Shopping Cart Software ,will be the right choice with plenty of user friendly facilities.

    2. If you worry about hosting issue, you can get Zscart - SaaS Ecommerce solution with easy monthly payment option and free trial too. you can make your shop with in five minutes.

    3. If you are looking for free source means, Zeuscart will be right choice. Highly downloaded open source script online.


    Good luck ...Choose one for successful ecommerce business.

    I am planning on a free cart, but I do have my own VPS for a forum I own so I'll use that for my business site too. Zeuscart looks really good for the time being, and once I get my business started I could use dome of the revenue to buy a license for AJ. Thanks for the advice! It's appreciated.
    EDIT: What do you think of Magento?

    Magento is a very good tool to use, might not be as user friendly to use but has the power.

    If you're technical, use Magento... highly customizable. I use it for all of my sites and it works great.

    Magento can be fantastic but you need to find good hosting and the learning curve for both operating and customizing is very long.

    Hi guys,

    For all your kind information, I have read the Press release from AJ Shopping cart that they have announced 15% discount on their shopping cart. Right time to make use of it.
