Shopping Carts with Databases
Detailed comparison of shopping cart software integrated with
relational databases: a 'demo' version of our e-book resources.
Shopping Carts with Integrated Databases
Most shopping carts allow you to import product data via a proprietary
file or flatfile database. What are listed here are shopping cart
packages that work with relational databases. These give
you more control — to upload particular parts of your products
database, and to download purchase details from the website for
later analysis by accounts and marketing. You can also query the
database as an ad-hoc form of inventory control (shown in the table
below only when specifically part of the shopping cart facility).
Remember that:
- though some packages are much better value than others, you
generally get what you pay for. Inventory control, tax handling
and shipping facilities come in various levels of sophistication
and cost.
- it's not easy to summarize the products of the larger software
companies which offer shopping carts specific to a particular
country or market. Carts supporting, say, the French language
may support only those payment gateways likely to interest French
merchants, and so on. Pursue your own inquiries from the indications
in our table.
- many suppliers and software companies are reluctant to provide
full details of their products through their website or email
inquiry, preferring to follow up the sales leads generated by
inquiries from potential customers. Hence some of our entries.
- though this now one of the most detailed shopping cart comparison
on the Internet, it is not exhaustive. We have only listed products
that:
- appear reasonable value for money,
- enjoy a large customer base, and/or
- offer features not easily found elsewhere.
- to handle multiple currencies you need:
- a software package that can display the currencies (and
languages) involved, plus
- a suitable payment gateway / payment service provider
/ bank.
- the market evolves rapidly, and products can be dropped or
abruptly replaced. Check the company's record of support and
upgrades.
- the list below is not a definitive answer but a point of departure
in your search for the optimal solution. You'll want to check
out a software house before making one of its products the cornerstone
of your own business — its history, financial standing
and customer base. Also to get professional advice on the possibility
of maintaining and/or extending the code in the event of the
software house going out of business.
