What eCommerce shopping cart hosts do you recommend?
Posted January 30th, 2010
I own my own cookie business, baking & selling cookies. I’ve just now reached a point where I’m ready to start taking orders online and would like to setup a shopping cart on my site.
Which vendor shopping carts are the best for my type of business? Initially, I will only sell about 15 items, but will expand in the future. Also, international selling isn’t a concern at the moment.
Ideally I’d like one that I walks me through the process with a wizard.
I would suggest the following:
1. Go to http://www.GotHosting.org and purchase hosting.
2. Once your account is setup, you will be able to go into the control panel they provide to install a free cart system.
3. Sign up for a paypal account (free at paypal.com).
4. Put your paypal email in the admin panel of the system you install i.e. zen cart. This will allow you take payments online.
Hope that helps.
