Interspire Shopping Cart 5.5 Review

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

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 the [...]

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 variations, [...]

Interspire Shopping Cart 5.0 Review

9 months ago I was asked by the CEO of Interspire to review their shopping cart software. I was provided with a copy of the software for free and set about doing my customary review process. Now, for those who do not know, I do not merely play with a demo to do a review, [...]

Beware the Wells Fargo Merchant Account

I’ve twice had a Wells Fargo merchant account. I should say the old adage holds true, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame of me. But I allowed myself to be fooled. Never again, nor should anyone else be fooled. Let me state clearly and firmly, avoid Wells Fargo merchant accounts, merchant [...]

CubeCart Review Update

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

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 really want [...]

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 [...]

A Review of CubeCart 4

This review has been updated, please read the updated CubeCart review before making any purchasing decisions.
I came to CubeCart via a circuitous route, it was never my first choice, however the path I took to get there is a useful lesson, and so I shall share it.
I’ve been planning a new site selling only chainmail [...]
