Shopify

Once you've built your store front, you need a way to track orders and accept payments and that's exactly what Shopify does.

You can build your shop with style – your style. Or, use any one of many custom designs to speed up your launch date.

Organize your inventory. You can create your own categories or let Shopify develop Smart Collections for you – especially useful when you ship some products while others are drop shipped. You set the inventory parameters and conditions to suit your business model. This inventory/order management software adapts to your way of conducting business instead of you having to adapt to the software.

Track order status through the life cycle of each order — from initial placement to final delivery. Orders are tracked sequentially and by the minute so you always know where order #10022 is at any given time.

And Shopify works with any merchant account (credit cards) and other payment gateways like the popular PayPal. Shopify is free to use and charges a 3% commission on every successful sale, which means you only pay for services when they're delivered.

There's nothing to install, either. Shopify takes care of both your security and organizational needs — the perfect solution for the active commercial site — or the soon-to-be active commercial site.

There's a robust, busy forum, a Vision Toolkit, templates and customized themes to give your cyber store the perfect look and to bring your vision to life.

You won't find a better design/management pack anywhere so if you plan on carrying lots of inventory and managing lots of orders, Shopify is the one tool you need.

That's what C|NET has to say about Shopify and we couldn't agree more.
