Shopping carts

[BrendanMcGann]

Any one have good luck with shopping cart software I am looking at miva.

Brendan, so much depends on what you are selling and where you are going to sell it. All carts are far from the same.

"Hosted solutions", like miva are OK for some, but most people prefer to have their own hosting account and their own cart, not spend a lot of time entering everything into a cart they can't take with them if they decide to change.

I have over 100 shopping cart owners hosting their carts with me, and I'd be happy to spend some time discussing your needs and helping you get on line and making some money. PM me and we can talk about it.

Or, you can check my site, but it doesn't really answer specifics that would apply to you.

I would really like something with intagrates with some kind of CRM I.e Maximizer or with not.

The site i will build myself with the product being created in house at one of my warehouses so inventory managments is a major intrest aswell. I would really like to look at what you have to offer

Here you go, for a starter. This will track your inventory and you can set "reorder points", as well.
