Hosted shopping cart at Ashop Commerce

One reason why i havent officially launched my online store till today is because i still havent found a shopping cart for it. I've thought of handling the payments manually. That means, customer place their order via email, bank in the money to my bank account or mail their cheques over, then i send them their goods once their cheque has cleared.

But clearly, this is really not the right way to run an online store, sighhhh. If there's only a handful of orders, then that's okay. But when business picks up, i know i wont be able to manage allthe incoming orders without a proper shopping cart in place. My friend asked me to host it with Ashop Commerce, who happens to be a leading provider of hosted shopping cart software.

They say it offers a complete solution for merchants like me to sell online. I do agree with them that having a proper shopping cart software is one of the most important aspects of running an online store. With a shopping cart in place, i can focus on my products and provide better service to my customers and let the ecommerce software help me take care of the rest of the nitty gritty stuffs in the background.
