Finding eCommerce software that is easy to use, offers a handful of features and provides excellent security tools doesn't have to be hard. GoDaddy Quick Shopping Cart is an eCommerce application to get your eCommerce website started and making you money. This application offers all of the basic tools, including hosting, website design and office management. It also is fairly easy to use. However, it is not as advanced as several similar products and lacks a large number of features that would make your website easier to create, maintain and make successful.

We reviewed the deluxe version of GoDaddy Quick Shopping Cart. This package provides a 100-product inventory and allows you to enter up to five images per product. Each GoDaddy package provides different options, so the needs of your store are important to consider when you're determining which software package is best for you. No matter which package you choose, you can sell both physical and digital goods, which we were excited to see.

When establishing your eCommerce website, the design of your site must be a top priority. You want a website that is both professional and attractive. GoDaddy Quick Shopping Cart walks you through the design process and lets you choose from more than 1,500 design and color combinations. With so many options, it is easy to find something that fits your taste. You can also personalize the site with your own logo or brand. There are a few customizing tools available, but not nearly as many as you will find in similar applications.

GoDaddy Shopping Cart Deluxe eCommerce software is loaded with useful features and tools to help you get the most from your online store. You can easily integrate QuickBooks to help you do the bookkeeping. GoDaddy also integrates easily with WebSite Tonight, PayPal, eBay and Google.

With all sorts of integration, GoDaddy eCommerce software is easy to use. You'll get automatic submission of your products to Google Product Search. You can also list your products on eBay. GoDaddy works with payment gateways like Merchant Services, PayPal, Authorize.net and VeloCT.

Receiving payments is easy as well. You will be able to accept transactions from credit cards, eChecks and c.o.d. orders. After your customers check out, you will be able to track their orders, calculate shipping and taxes, and ensure that they get their orders on time.

Quick Shopping Cart from GoDaddy features an IP Country Match feature that lets you avoid fraud behind the scenes. You will need to purchase an SSL certificate if you want to accept credit card payments, though.

GoDaddy eCommerce software is easy to use and quick to set up. You can utilize the Excel import/export feature to get your products up quickly, and you can use a wizard to set up your store. After you have uploaded photos and set up your ordering method, you're pretty much good to go.

You will be able to find answers to many questions in the online FAQs, but you can also contact live technical support at any time of day. The forums and discussion groups are a nice perk as well. People who are also trying to get their online businesses off the ground can offer you some great advice.

Summary:

GoDaddy Quick Shopping Cart is not the best eCommerce software option, but it certainly has its perks. The deluxe shopping cart is missing some nice features like integration with affiliate programs, gift cards and gift-wrapping options, but it still has plenty to offer. With no transaction fees and a low initial price, it's a good offer. However, keep in mind that you'll also need to purchase an SSL certificate and arrange for a payment gateway. We think that the majority of eCommerce software users will prefer a product that can do it all. If you don't need it all, though, this is a solid option.
