1Shopping Cart Alternative That Does it All
-LIGHT.gif "Premium Web Cart")
I ran across this service that has all the tools a small business would want. It starts off with a great shopping cart that allows you to sell physical and digital goods, it has a CRM system, Affiliate system, Membership System (with drip feature I might add), Project Management, Live Help System, Ticketing System, Bug Report System, Surveys, and more. It’s amazing. 1shopping cart has the ability to integrate with other separate systems you purchase, with Premium Web Cart it’s all under one “umbrella” and the best part your support is included AND they have an e-business advisor. There are videos available that explain all the features available. Their support seems impressive (when I clicked on their live support there was actually someone on the other end).
Pricing ranges from 39 – 149 a month (based on what features you want) you can even save on those prices by purchasing a year in advance. Best of all you can sign up for a 30 day trial for free. If you want the “Super Jumbo Deluxe” version (that’s what I call it) the 30 day trial is $4.97. Check it out the videos at premiumwebcart.com some include some pretty bad cheesy music!
WP AD Center Still Not Working
I purchased WP Ad Center a month ago, and its still not working. I’m getting the old “We can reproduce the problem” so I gave them a login and password to www.feedingmyfaith.com and www.jillianmichalespodcast.com (where I’m testing the script, where its not working on either site). I switched to the default theme and it didn’t work (so it’s not a theme issue). I used it in the sidebar, I’ve used it in other areas. When people click on the banner, it doesn’t take them to the destination page. It instead returns them to their original page that they click on. I’ll keep you posted.
