Ecommerce Shopping Cart Software – Benefits & Features

Then PHP Ecommerce Plus Shopping Cart Software is one of the easiest and quickest ways to set-up an online store to sell a large amount of products. For approximately $149.00 you can purchase a multi-featured shopping cart that integrates with most major payment gateways ie authorize.net, linkpoint, etc. You can also use one of their ready-made templates or create one of your own. I recommend getting a custom-built template so your store looks unique and not like all the other templates on the Net. By just adding a few lines of code to your template you can create a fully functional e-commerce store in a short period of time.
