Question

Anyone recommend any?

We've currently looked at:

http://www.e-comshops.com/

http://www.get-trolleyed.co.uk/

http://www.cactushop.com/main/default.asp

Most of the e-commerce stuff is much the same, but I was surprised at the cost of subscription to WorldPay, and the 4.5% charge per transaction!!

The Cactushop is very versatile and is .ASP based, so I'd be happy to use it - But the server has to be IIS, as they won't guarantee support for Linux/Unix servers...

Anyone got any ideas, used anything else??

Cheers,
Squizz.

Thought I'd add that we have the ability to produce such stuff ourselves, but can't be arsed.

It'd take too much time, effort and money to produce one from scratch. - We'll take some 3rd party software for now, ta !

Have you looked at http://www.actinic.com/ Squizz?

Look at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/ as an example. I like the OC Store. Simple, quick and easy to navigate.

Bloomin' 'eck, Chris - That actinic stuff is comprehensive, but it damn well should be at 2 to 3 times the price of some of the stuff I've looked at so far!!

Mind you, does it allow multiple vendors, or is it a one shot license??

Add on set-up and subscription to a Credit Card clearing house, and that's a lotta dough.

Never actually implemented it Squiz, just noticed one or two sites use it and it works well IMHO.

How much are you looking to spend? I'm implementing ClearCommerce at the moment, not cheap at $60k but it does include various anti-fraud capabilities, direct X.25 connection to Barclays, and has Java, C and XML APIs.

Err I think after looking at the above links I got the wrong idea

Steve.

Thumbs up

Thanks for trying, guys.

Chris - Actually, Actinic Developer looks good, as seems to allow multiple vendors/sites developed from that one licensed package. After the initial outlay, it looks cost effective.

Don't know if we can justify that amount of cash at the moment, though.

I'll discuss it with "The Board".
