Shopping cart shoftware, Host, Technic project
How to choose a shopping cart software is an old theme. I do not need to repeat.
Our favorite solution now is as follows:
1. The shopping cart software of PHP, MySQL combination.
This type of combination is very popular. Open-source, quick upgrade, perfect community support and low server maintenance cost are its merits. There are many such combination, they are osCommerce, ZenCart, Prestashop, Magento, Cubecart, Opencart, CS-Cart, X-Car etc. The customers choose the most suitable one according to the quantity of the products and management mode. The omnipotent is usually commercial software, very little charge is needed. In terms of the lightweight, the open-source shopping cart software is OK.
2. Bluehost, Godaddy, ixWebhosting server
Our suggestion is to adopt Bluehost, if you choose the virtual hosting provider rather than independent server, which merit is low price, good service, stable system. The independent server of being charged is its only shortcoming .
3. Paypal, Visa/Master, Bank Transfer payment methods.
We usually provide the fundamental payment method, for example Paypal, Bank Transfer. Of course, Visa/Master, Moneybookers, Google Checkout, 2Checkout, Money Gram, WU, etc. are available.
4. Shipping methods, for example, UPS, DHL, FedEX, USPS, EMS etc.
It is very important to choose the reasonable shipping company and give the buyer more shipping choices according to the various places. The customer can pay the big international shipping company needed the higher charge, if he want to get his goods more quickly. Of course, if the customer have enough patience, and want to save the shipping cost, choosing the cheaper shipping methods is a good choice.
