So I’ve been doing a lot of research online for shopping cart software to install on one of my client’s sites that until now has been using Paypal’s very basic solution. I’ve found a lot of the open source ones to be good, but not quite as “packed with peanuts” as we were hoping for. What we needed was supposed to be pretty simple:

  • WYSIWYG Editing
  • In-Depth Reporting
  • SEO Friendly URLs
  • Built-in Image Handling and Resizing
  • Customizable Templates


There were of course a few other things, but I’ve installed and uninstalled about ten of these before I found the one my client and I both liked. The online shopping cart I ended up choosing was from ashop Commerce. I was able to get it loaded up very easily and even had some assistance along the way from a member of their very friendly staff. If I could remember their name (I apologize as I’m very forgetful!) I would’ve sent a thank you email. We went with the light plan which is less than $40/month. Great deal in my opinion as it made my job easy and made my client happy. Check them out.
