Shopping Carts - Beyond the Sale

Many eCommerce shopping carts have emerged over the past ten years. Most carts provide all the necessary functionality for online retail but the process does not stop at checkout. Once the order has been placed it still needs to get to the buyer.

Some shopping carts have taken this into account and make it possible to seamlessly integrate with your back end shipping software or fulfillment provider.

When selecting a shopping cart for your eCommerce business, make sure you understand the extent of the follow on integration and the commitment your shopping provider has to making the entire order fulfillment process fast and seamless.

While they make money on the volume of your transactions, your success also depends on the speed and accuracy of order shipment.

Your order fulfillment should be as sophisticated as your shopping cart.

A few examples:
Magento - www.magento.com
Volusion - www.volusion.com
3D Cart - www.3dcart.com
