If you are new to e-commerce then before choosing this or any other Shopping Cart Software make sure you read our tutorial on "How to choose the right shopping cart"! It will give you a good idea on what you should be looking for in a shopping cart.
So why should you use our shopping cart software?
* Commerce.CGI was first released back in 1998 and was one of the very first free Perl shopping carts to be released on the web. So you know that you are using a well established shopping cart that has been around for many years, and will be around in the future.
* Our business is e-commerce! Since 2000 our primary business has been developing custom e-commerce shopping cart solutions for our customers. This is not just something that we do as a side job, this is our main business.
* Our goal has always been to create a full featured shopping cart that is very simple to install, set up, and manage. While some of the other carts available require a huge learning curve, ours has been designed to be as easy as possible.
* Top notch support! We answer all of the "standard support" questions on our Bulletin Board.
* Compatible with Linux and Windows Servers. The cart is primarily designed to run on Unix style servers, but with our recent updates you can also run it on Windows NT with only minor adjustments to the code.
* This is not a remotely hosted cart which means you can download it and make any changes that you want to the code, and it will work with most web hosting solutions.
* You can use Commerce.CGI as an add-on to your existing web site, or use it on it's own for your entire site if you strictly want to operate a site to sell your products.
