1ShoppingCart 2014 Review

Pros
1ShoppingCart has automated billing and membership tools that work great for subscription businesses.

Cons
It lacks a loyalty program and customer reviews, which most eCommerce software platforms provide.

The Verdict: 5.18/10

Although lacking some common features, 1ShoppingCart's recurring billing tools make it especially useful for businesses that handle memberships.

1ShoppingCart is a good choice if you’re looking for an eCommerce software for an online store that handles memberships, subscriptions or recurring billing. This basic eCommerce software provides the usual features for selling products and tracking sales, and the smaller selection of tools keeps it straightforward.

You can choose from 50 design templates to customize your site using HTML, CSS or JavaScript. With the standard plan, you can upload up to 500 products, but be careful that you don't exceed the 1GB of storage. Upgraded plans let you have more storage and products, but compared to comparable plans by other eCommerce companies, this storage is low.

You can upload all of your products in bulk, track your inventory and view a variety of reports. The reports aren't customizable, but 1ShoppingCart integrates with both QuickBooks and Google Analytics.

The store you create with 1ShoppingCart is mobile-friendly and has most of the basic shopping cart features, although it lacks a loyalty program, daily deals and the ability to post customer reviews. You also cannot use this software to post products to Amazon or run your eBay store.

However, if you sell goods, the down-sell function allows you to program the computer to suggest lower-priced products. This is a nifty tool for enticing customers who hesitate to buy the more expensive products they view but are open to lower-priced alternatives.

What catches our attention even more, however, are the tools for handling subscriptions, memberships and other sales that require recurring billing. It will automatically set up a recurring billing account for your customer for the amount, timespan and frequency you choose. You can also set up billing manually. Finally, if your salespeople earn commission for subscription sales, the software will apply the commission on the first order unless you choose otherwise.

This eCommerce software gives you risk management tools, including a secure server for your credit card transactions. The company also requires your customers to enter the CVV2 value on the back of the credit card, ensuring that the customer has the physical card. 1ShoppingCart integrates easily with a wide variety of credit card processing companies.

In case you need assistance while using this software, there are online videos and tutorials to help you with the application's features and tools. You can also contact a support representative by telephone.

1ShoppingCart Summary: 6.2/10

1ShoppingCart represents a good value for what it offers, but it lacks a lot of the shopping cart and marketing extras some people expect in an online store. 1ShoppingCart lacks a few of the shopping cart and marketing extras we expect in the best eCommerce solutions. Nonetheless, its standout features such as the down-sell function and membership tools make it a good choice if you have a subscription business or need to manage recurring billing.
