Default Re: ECommerce Software?

Technology has caught-up with accessibility. There was a time that a safe, reliable shopping cart solution was out of reach financially for most people, or just didn't exist. Now, picking a solution has become more a matter of preference rather than a matter of what"s "better".

I've been using X-cart for 3+ years and I've found it to be stable with LOTS of features. Sure, there have been a few problems: It has a bit of a learning curve to customize and setup. But what I think makes it an excellent choice is user community support. Many good hosting companies have servers specifically configured for this cart, and there are a LOT of 3rd party providers for customization; so much so that it seems to have become a cottage industry on it's own. X-cart listens to and works with these people, so there really isn't much X-cart cannot be configured to do.

Please note, I have absolutely NO affiiliation with the company, and I realize my choice isn't for everybody. Just my 2 cents.
