Shopping Cart Software Ecommerce Solutions
The major factors to starting an ecommerce business on
the web.
Ecommerce development has to take into consideration the
composition and make-up of the products
that will be required to be sold. E-commerce software
shopping carts are a dime a dozen and can be
purchased over the Internet. Two factors arise out of
this, the first is the software professionally put
together
and can it actually do what the company promised it
could do? The second is once you purchase the shopping cart
software
do you have the facilities and expertise to use it?
Professional E-commerce Software
If you have products that you want to sell over the
Internet the following factors have to be considered:
Can I use the software or do I need to employ an expert
to do the job?
If you require an expert for your ecommerce development
rather get him/her to recommend software rather than
choose your own.
Products.
How many products do I want to sell and in how many
categories?
We had a client who had hundreds of products in
different categories but he also wanted hundreds of
other products in a separate section of his shopping
cart. If you buy off-the-shelf ecommerce software
packages they are not going to conform to personal
deviations from the norm like this. Rather have a
bespoke shopping cart built for you, but watch out the
price will be very high.
If you purchase a ready built shopping cart rather start
with a simple product structure so that you avoid
complications which result in long delays
and additional costs.

Hosting
Where will my shopping cart be hosted and is it secure?
Hackers have a way of interfering with websites so be
careful who you host your shopping cart with.
Security - SSL
Customers who purchase off the Internet have become very
sophisticated and are wary of how they use their credit
card and who they do business with.
You need to take into account and budget for security
certificates to give them peace of mind. You also need
to build a professional ecommerce website that
provides a complete company look and feel that instills
confidence in your customers. You must provide company
information, a security policy a returns policy and any
customer testimonials that you feel will help to add to
your credibility.
Prebuilt Shopping Cart Systems
EPNET have had many years experience with developing
ecommerce systems but now rely on a pre-developed
shopping cart system. Why?
We have contracted with a company in America who's sole
business is developing shopping cart software. They do
not develop shopping carts for clients but build the
systems
for people like EPNET to provide solutions for clients.
Over the years this software has become extremely
sophisticated (list of some of the features).
An example of an ecommerce system with a design
interface is our client Inspirit Inspirations have a
