Shopping Cart

There are thousands of choices for Shopping Cart on the Internet.

Guidelines and Tips:
1. Price and Cost
Shopping cart will charge you from 10% to 15% of your shopping cart. We don't recommend to use those services lower than 10%. If you want to go for a more sophisticated one, you can look for bigger ones like regnow.com and regsoft.com.

2. Reliability
Do ask and check with the sales about the downtime of their shopping cart. If you are struggling with the low cost shopping cart solution with their reliability issue. We recommend you to open an account and get ready on one shopping cart as a contingency plan. If your primary choice of shopping cart (may be low cost services) got stuck with their server, you can always switch the link to rather expensive one whenever you want. This will minimize the lost of sales.

3. Ease of Use
Shopping Cart can be one of the important marketing tools to close the sales. Make sure to check and use the simple ones. Don't let your clients go through many web pages of forms to fill in their credit card information or other personal information. They may go away before they are willing finish the complicated online transactions. (Therefore, sometimes people will offer special discount by exit-pop-up to grab the last chance of sales if the client leave the shopping cart.)
