21 Questions to Ask Before You Buy Any Shopping Cart System |

21 Questions to Ask Before You Buy Any Shopping Cart System by
Tom Antion
Once you've decided which product your going to sell online, the
next most important decision you'll make is which shopping cart
system to buy. It is perhaps the most important single decision
you'll make in your online marketing career. This is because:
* You're sort of stuck with the decision for a long time.
* If you buy into a system that isn't adequate, it can cost you
money. BIG money.
* There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of off-the-shelf
alternative products out there vying for your money, time or
both.
* Even if you decide you've made a mistake, switching shopping
cart systems is really difficult.
I know. I learned the hard way. When I started in this business I
couldn't find a decent shopping cart program so I rolled my own.
What a headache. In the process of living with that monstrosity
- - and shopping for a suitable replacement -- over the last
couple of years, I've come up with something I think you'll find
useful.
Here are 21 questions you absolutely, unfailingly MUST ask anyone
trying to sell you a shopping cart, custom or otherwise. If you
don't hear good positive answers to the vast majority of these
questions, put your wallet back into your pocket and move to the
next choice. Don't get stuck with a crappy shopping cart. (If you
want to know even more about this subject, you can download a
free eBook "How to Pick a Shopping Cart System That Makes You
Money," from my site at http://www.public-speaking.org/ebook.htm
You can even redistribute that book to others if you want to
share these insights!)
