?3dCart, Magento, Volusion, Zen Cart? Looking for recommendations based on my situation.

Late to the party here. I'm a Magento user with only about 30 products. The reasons I chose Magneto is for it's hangling of multiple languages. It is by far (and I mean really far) the best at handling multiple languages and maintain continuity as far as design, functionality, and SEO.

This leads me to my second reason: Extremely SEO friendly! I've worked with or demoed shopping carts for Joomla, Wordpress, Modx, and other hosted solutions. Magento can be (actually it must be) customized to do anything you want, like localized checkout process, automatic template switching for holiday promotions, e-mail notifications for any action, custom invoices, and the list goes on. Really, the only limits are either your programming skills or your budget.

About resources, I have to disagree with Ryan on this one. I run my instance on Rochen reseller hosting without issues, granted my site is fairly low traffic given that it's for catering and frozen delivery. But I put out mid-90's on both YSlow and PageSpeed, and that's something I don't see very often with other platforms.

Anyway, if you haven't committed, I do suggest getting to know Magento, but you might need to hire a professional firm to handle development.

Hey AHH888,

Wondering what you ended up doing? We're just on wordpress now with a plugin for the cart but are considering volusion. My main concern is loosing the great SEO we have with our wordpress site right now since one or the other will have to be on a subdomain?

For simple stores with less than a hundred products, we use Concrete5 cms; the ecommerce addon is easy to use and the whole thing is good for SEO.

With respect to the fees of changing buying carts, I agree the expenses would be excessive but in case you honestly have full manage over your URL structures, there might be zero loss from 301s as you can see here on hunting apps. The shape I am working on putting in is mysite.Com/keep/product name.

It relies upon upon the level of answer integration. Volusion simply makes use of a lame "share this" button. I surely might write a blog put up at the distinctive ranges of social sharing like bestespressobeans.net. Not all share buttons are created same.
