Exciting Shopping Cart News

For the last couple of years I have been using OSCommerce as my "cart of choice" for web development projects.  It is free, open source, and will do ANYTHING you need it to.  And while I like it just fine, I have found a NEW shopping cart that I love!!!


I have recently completed a site using Avactis Shopping Cart and it was very easy to build.  It uses templates, but you can create your own, if you wish.  For my project, I applied the same "skin" that I used on the site when we were using OSCommerce. 


The software is not free, but it is also not too expensive, at $199 per license.


The admin panel is the very best part, though!  It has a better flow, better reports, and the product data is all contained in one window, with several tabs across the top to switch between the options.  I really, really like this part.  It's the BEST admin panel I've ever seen on a shopping cart.


Additionally, it seems that Avactis has better SEO possibilities, because the site in question has seen double the orders they were getting with OSCommerce.
