Pros: I'm really getting used to using all the features of this
shopping cart system, and it is making my life much easier.
The online store builder is set up for users of every skill
level and my 12 year old son is thinking about starting a site.
I think he could do very well with a few pointers using the
wizard and the web store administration.
New ecommerce
shopping cart version 7.0

Pros: I downloaded the new version 7.0 of the fortune3 web store
builder and tried the new algorithm of this shopping cart software.
I can now build fully customizable web pages for categories
and products. Of course, you must have good skills in html coding
before modifying or creating a custom template to be published
on the online store. A one step checkout option has been added.
I've been using the fortune3 wizard for the last 3 years for
professional web development. I like this ecommerce solution
rather than the others because it is powerful enough and very
easy to use as well. It accepts unlimited products and runs
fast from my own pc. It also offers google checkout and paypal
express checkout, so I don't have to pay extra for an online
merchant account or gateway.
Cons: still waiting for the stad alone version
This
is a wonderful software

Pros: Anything I'd say about this shopping cart would fall short
because this wizard is the best software in the market. You
can build any kind of online store, from simple to professional.
There is no limit of what you can do with it. Believe me! I
already tried everything, there is nothing as good as fortune3
to build and manage a serious ecommerce solution.
fortune3
vs oscommerce

Pros: One year ago I found fortune3 here at download.com, after
three months of time waste trying to build my online store with
oscommerce; a "free open source" shopping cart software: It
took me two month and a lot of work to add about 2000 products,
then the program started to crash. There were problems with
the code. So I sent them an email requesting support, they replied
that I have to subscribe before getting a response. It wasn't
free. At the beginning I was happy that I found oscommerce because
I was going to save money, but what about my time? Believe me,
building an online shopping cart requires more time than anyone
can anticipate. It is like building a real storefront, but even
more demanding, because only with descriptions and pictures
an ecommerce web site must have the ability to create an online
shopping solution to sale products and receive online orders
and payment from an online shopper pc. My time is worth more
than the cost of proven and reliable online shopping cart software.
I have been using fortune3 for the last year. I advertise my
web store with google adwords and yahoo search marketing and
it never fails when taking an order. My website storefront built
with fortune3 is powerful and has a professional look. I am
sure that each potential customer perceives my web ecommerce
store as a legitimate, credible business. Why else it is so
important choosing the right shopping cart software? Because
it exchanges data with third party web ecommerce servers; banks,
credit card processors, gateways, google checkout, paypal, ups,
usps, fedex, dhl, etc., and other commercial websites; accounting
software; quickbooks, peachtree, etc. On the other hand, for
you to be able to retrieve and organize your online sales, your
online shopping cart must be a database driven software, with
secure ssl encryption.
Cons: It is a hosted shopping cart, but also a good choice;
it requires paying a monthly fee, but it can saves me a lot
of trouble.
The best
online store builder software ever

Pros: Fortune3 is the web store builder software that you should
install on your own pc. It uses your own computer and the windows
operating system to run the program. As you can see, the online
store builder software is not web based, but pc based instead.
It is powerful and efficient. The shopping cart software instead
performs from the web server once you upload your e-commerce
website the server. Fortune3 creates professional and nice looking
web pages, and they come well optimized for the search engines.
It is a seo shopping cart software, which means a search engine
optimized program that always brings the most online shoppers
to my web site. As I have tried almost every online shopping
cart software available, I decided to stay with fortune3 which
I am using since 2005. I am very satisfied with it because it
gives me the most comprehensive online ecommerce solution to
sell my products online. You should check by yourself how good
it is.
This
software is my pick

Pros: The online store builder creates good looking e-commerce
web pages. It works on my own pc, so it is fast. The graphic
interface is user friendly. It allows moving products and categories
with drag and drop or copy and paste to move to simply re-index
the online catalog. It can create large websites. It comes with
many template designs to create an online store with a professional
appearance. Unlimited domains can point to the same online store
as well. I can create my own shipping methods. Also obtain real
shipping prices instantly from fedex, ups, usps, and dhl. The
checkout program has a box consolidation calculation to deliver
more realistic shipping prices, reducing the chance of shopping
cart abandonment by placing the items in as few boxes as possible.
I can use any payment method or gateway, even paypal and google
checkout. There is an import and export feature which can match
other software databases; all fields and images of products
and categories can be imported and exported through a spreadsheet.
Online orders and customersâ?? information can also be exported
to any accounting software. I already tried almost every ecommerce
shopping cart software available. This people thought in the
user needs.

I installed this shopping cart software a few months ago to
re-build and manage my web site e-commerce store. I must say
that during the first two months I had record sales (triple
from last year) with no incidents or problems. I recommend this
ecommerce software solution to users looking for a powerful
and reliable online store with a user friendly web site shopping
cart.

Thank you for recommending this shopping cart. I tested it,
the shopping cart wizard software installed successfully on
my pc. It performance is good, like no other ecommerce software
that I've tried. The small online store that I built looks neat
and professional. I selected one of the many template designs
that come with the program. I also like how fast and simple
to use this online shopping cart is. I didn't t have to worry
about my website design. I hope that the SEO (search engine
optimization) that the company offers is true. I believe they
do, because I made some queries in google for some of the products
offered by the featured ecommerce stores appearing in the Fortune3
web site; and some of the results are in google s first page:
so far so good.
Very satisfied
with this software

Awesome shopping cart wizard software .I will either buy it
or host my ecommerce website solution with fortune3. I reviewed
their online store samples and they look much better than my
web site store design, but I don't know why. Maybe a regular
template is not as professional as a customized one .I may need
to create or hire a custom design.

We are located in France, but we create all our computer stuff
and web site development from Germany, and your customer service
is excellent. Now we are interested in buying a server license
of the best shopping cart software. We know that it is not possible
yet, although I have this suggestion for you guys: You have
built the greatest ecommerce software in existence to create
and manage website storefronts and online stores: Please wake
up and start selling the server licenses for hosting in other
web servers. It would make your company huge.
Amazing online store software

This online shopping cart is very different from the rest: The
data entry process is easy. I imported all my product (about
2,500) data from QuickBooks. Of course, QuickBooks accounting
software doesn't provide the categories. What I did is to get
the products imported into the product list window of the fortune3
wizard software, and then I created the categories through the
product tree graphical interface, and dragged and dropped the
products in groups by using the CTRL key into their corresponding
categories within the tree. It could not be easier. Sales can
be exported to QuickBooks as well. I highly recommend this complete
E-Commerce solutions program.
Great shopping cart for online Ecommerce

- Fast: Windows based online store builder,
uses the PC resources
- Graphics interface to move-arrange products and categories
by using drag-and-drop
- Easy data entry
- Accepts large ecommerce web sites +10,000 products
- Good-looking templates
- Database driven
- Integrates with live shipping cost from FedEx, UPS, USPS,
DHL - Full integration via IP - Consolidates shipping in fewer
boxes
- Fully compatible with QuickBooks and Peachtree accounting
software
- Paypal integration
- Affiliates
- Complete Froogle integration
- Imports - exports to spreadsheet via excel
- Comprehensive database driven administration site
- Complete and simple is what I' d say about this shopping cart
- this is one of the few windows based online store builders
that uses the PC resources - because it is a PC based program
-not a web based shopping cart builder- you can use its graphic
interface to move-arrange products and categories using drag-and-drop
on what they call the product tree - so I believe this software
was build in visual studio using access databases. Modifying
and editing the online store results easy. Accepts a large website
storefront - mine has 11,000 products: My data was imported
from spreadsheet (using excel) - their stock templates (about
200) look good - many types. Appearance and performance compares
to large corporations
- You must host only with the company
- Must pay a monthly fee
- Transactions fee to charge for bandwidth usage
Simple, great software - good value

If you want to use an excellent shopping cart, this is my opinion:
As you'll be selling online and making money, why would you
be looking for low-end software? The Fortune3 shopping cart
is not free neither expensive; in my experience it is the best
software for online ecommerce. You can shop around and find
free and low priced carts as well, but you'll probably regret
the headaches. I already went through those headaches. Before
making a decision you should consider that building and maintaining
an online store requires a lot of your energy and time. It is
better to use good software to simplify your life.

I am a big fan of Fortune3. Their shopping cart did almost everything
I've asked for. It is simple to use and the company gave me
great technical support during trial. My Website storefront
looks great just using one of their many templates, which are
offered at no cost. I am signing up after posting this message,
and recommend everyone using this program to build an online
store.

I came back to visit download.com today - the same place where
I found the Fortune3 online store software two years ago. Since
then I've been using this shopping cart, and let me just say
- my online store rocks - it gets better and better every single
day - Fortune3 never stops - they always review, improve, and
add new features to their software which helps me to improve
and better manage my Website storefront.

of using the web browser - best price value and superior to

I found something that has everything I need, and it is easy
to use. This software has everything I was looking for. I especially
like the order reporting and exporting system in their back
end with a database driven administration, and the ease of use
with Dreamweaver for the html design of the Website, excellent.

I discovered this online store software a month ago to build
a jewelry store with over 9,000 products. I already imported
all the data from a CD including the pictures. The shopping
cart is ready to run and my Web design looks great. It is fully
customizable and accepts changes.

I have spent a lot of time building an online store with free
and low priced shopping cart software. I also tried this software.
I must say that you will have to invest a great deal of time
to create a good ecommerce web site, and at the end you will
find out that most shopping carts will disappoint you. So I
recommend this Ecommerce program, even if you pay more, you'll
save time and be satisfied with the price.
