The shopping cart review I’m working on right now is CREloaded. I’m not done with it, but I like the software, it does a lot of what I like out of the box, has good support, a community surrounding it, thousands of templates, hundreds of mods, etc. And it is very competitively priced. It does […]

Interspire has gone through a couple interations of updates since I last reviewed them about 7 months ago (on 5.0). My original review can be read here: Interspire Review, and I wish to provide you with updates regarding the issues I encountered. If you didn’t read the original review, you should, I’m going to be […]

Qualified vs. Non-qualified credit card transactions


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

When you are a merchant who processes credit cards, especially card-not-present transactions (ie, over the Internet or phone) you will typically run into two rates on your statement. You will have a discount rate for qualified transactions, and you will have a discount rate for non-qualified transactions. Typically the discount rate for qualified transactions is […]

Wee Little Interspire Review Update

Well, I officially got tired of waiting for a reasonable way to input product variations, so I fixed it myself. I sat down today, the baby miraculously slept for 3 hours, and I cranked this out. All told, it took me 4 hours to build a new frontend that allows me to quickly add product […]

Never again, nor should anyone else be fooled. Let me state clearly and firmly, avoid Wells Fargo merchant accounts, merchant […]

CubeCart Review Update


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

After using CubeCart on two sites for about a year I can definitely say the honeymoon is over. I was perhaps hasty in giving it the glowing recommendation I did, after only using it a short period of time. I really can’t recommend it to anyone anymore, it isn’t pay cart quality, it is free […]

Avactis Shopping Cart Review


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

I had been hearing a lot about Avactis on various forums and I had seen how active the developers were on webmaster forums and so I decided to give it a try for my next ecommerce project. Unfortunately, I can sum up the software in one word, amateurish. Installation is a little abnormal as they […]

One Product eCommerce, One Year Later

This blog post will be part rant. I get frustrated sometimes. I don’t necessarily think I’m anything special, what I do does not seem special to me, and yet examples repeatedly crop up and make me think I must be a genius compared to so many other people. Namely the fact that I can walk […]
