1ShoppingCart Pro by 1ShoppingCart, is the best "Buy Button" Shopping cart we've reviewed. A Buy Button Shopping Cart is when you already have a website and just want to add a buy button to take your customers to a secure purchase area. From there, 1ShoppingCart takes care of the rest. 1ShoppingCart is server-based administration. This means you only need a browser and you can have access to your account from anywhere. 1ShoppingCart offers some of the best merchant tools around. If you already have a website and would like to add limited e-commerce capabilites on a tight budget, then 1ShoppingCart is the answer for you.
Feature Set:
One of the best features about 1ShoppingCart is their affiliate capabilities. The affiliate tracking management system can calculate commission by product, affiliate, sales, clicks, or leads. The Ad Tracking system can calculate clicks, sales, and leads. Another great feature is that you can create custom contact opt-in forms or pop-ups. The sales reports are also great. The merchant can configure them and look at several different reports to best understand the overall sales.
The fact that this product is a "Buy Button" shopping cart limits the capabilities that other products like ShopSite has. You also need to know some html in order to implement many of the features. The shopping cart does not come with a website wizard builder. Another drawback is that after you have all the products on your website, you still need to add the products to the merchant tools section so you can manage them.
Ease of Use:
The merchant tools are browser-based and very user friendly. 1ShoppingCart does require you to know a little html.
Ease of Installation:
1ShoppingCart is a server-based shopping cart so the installation is done on the server. The only problem with the setup is making sure all your "Buy Me Now" link buttons are correct.
Help/Documentation:
The Help is great. 1ShoppingCart has a wonderful online tutorial. The audio tutorial takes you step-by-step through the whole process and explains in depth all the questions that you might have. It's also broken up into sections so you can go to the specific answer that you have questions about. In addition, they provide FAQs and Help documentation.
True eCommerce Solution:
Is 1ShoppingCart an E-commerce solution? No. You need to host and create your own website. 1ShoppingCart does a great job at handling your transactions and gathering reports. There are some tools to help you promote your website and bring in more sales.
Summary:
1ShoppingCart Pro is a great "Buy Button" product and receives our ninth ranking of all the products reviewed. Overall it is very easy to use and has many features that will help.
