| Why is Ashop Commerce any different from other shopping cart software providers? |
|
There are major differences between Ashop Commerce shopping cart software and other software providers;
1) "Shop in a box" providers will only be giving you a one off software version, they generally then charge for updates. If your computer is not compatible with their software or there are bugs then it's usually too bad. Ashop Commerce provides ongoing updates and upgrades at no charge, top quality hosting is included at a much lower cost than finding it separately and we include a huge range of free extra functionality.
2) Developing web stores from scratch will cost you valuable time and wasted money without giving you the professional edge an ASP (application service provider) can give you without all the hassle. Besides the development costs you would also need monthly hosting fees which end up similar to Ashop Commerce shopping cart software's total monthly fees.
3) Lastly, Ashop Commerce is a professional ecommerce company specializing in shopping cart software development, providing a total solution to online selling. Most companies will only provide you with a basic version of what we do. Most "shopping cart providers" are hosting companies that "resell" ecommerce software.

Definitely! The unique storefront layout makes it easy for your customers to reach their desired product destinations. This is important because studies have shown if users can't find what they are looking for (in 12-15 seconds or 3 or less clicks)...they simply click to the next site in the search engine.
