Create Your Own Online Shopping Website Using Hosted Online Store Software Ashop Commerce
October 29, 2007 – 1:40 pmAshop Commerce is a hosted software/service or better a SAAS (Software As A Service) which helps you to create your own online shopping site or shopping cart and start selling things not requiring web designing skills from you. Here’s a detailed review of Ashop Commerce software.
After purchasing any plan of Ashop Commerce ecommerce software you would get your online shopping store created (so just one click only), but after that you need to admin-login to visit the administration panel (a special link would be created for administering) of your newly created online shopping store and start adding products with description, price and other information. Rest things like showing your shopping site’s products to visitors, sales/purchase, monetary transactions etc would be taken care by the Shopping cart software it self so no work now. How easy it’s to maintain such site. You accept credit cards and other forms of payments from the customers of your site, keep track of sales - performance of the shopping store, provide customer service,ordering process and maintaining it in a database is too easy using this.
And remember this is a hosted service/software, so you don’t have to download any software and install it in your host because they provide space/hosting for your shopping cart and in one click you get your shopping cart ready there. No need of any setup and installation as everything is done previously (they charge some initial setup fee too). Detailed reports regarding sales/products and other stats would be presented to you so that you can improve your business. This provides many features that cam make your site resemble great shopping sites Froogle (of Google Inc.), Shopzilla etc. Complete shopping cart features are written in detail in that site itself. Affiliate program module, buyer alerts via SMS, advertising system, real time stats, support features makes it #1. Surely what else you need. You won’t find any free shopping scripts that provide all these great facilities offered by Ashop Commerce software. You would have a complete shopping site with all possible functionalities that are req. for such a site.
The site would be optimized for search engines,viewers and you need to enter data via WYSIWYG editor only (no html required as that software auto generates it). Sitemaps, payment processor integration, meta tags, titles, SEO will be done by them. Also you don’t have to design graphics and logo. yes they would hire pros to do it for your shopping site obviouly not free. You have to spend some 500$ initially to get a great shopping site like UrbanToyz which is created using their software.(it’s a demo)
So visit their website and check the pricing n plans for getting your shopping site@Ashop software. Once you choose a plan depending on number of products you want to have in your shopping site,web space, bandwidth,CMS and others signup for an account and pay what ever they demand. Every price like setup price etc are mentioned in the pricing page there. What i don’t like is very few amount of bandwidth and space is offered in maximum priced plan.20GB bandwidth at $249.95 would no where make our shopping site comparable to Froogle.
And before doing anything, you can test drive their software by signing up an account for a free 10 days trial of their software/service Ashop Commerce software.
