Shopping Cart Competition - Shopping Cart Software
Add flexibility and power to your online store. Dramatically reduce the time it takes to increase your search engine ranking and sales. Use SearchFit to accomplish things that would be impossible to do with our shopping cart competition, or cost a fortune to program on your own.
SearchFit's Web Services feature allows you to use powerful xml related features like pulling your inventory information from an external database. Take a look at the shopping cart software features offered per plan.
SearchFit was designed from the beginning to help you take advantage of powerful e-commerce strategies. One of the largest advantages of using SearchFit's Shopping Cart Software is the ability to create multiple websites from a single product database. For example, here is one of many ways to successfully use SearchFit:
The Multi User Advantage
- Create a main store that carries all of your products.
- Determine what your best selling product categories are.
- Create several new websites. Each site will focus on a different product category. Sites that focus on a smaller product area are beneficial for two reasons. First, the products and categories are more focused around a key phrase. This makes is much easier to come up high in search engine results for a given key phrase. Second, a more focused store will appear to your customers as an authoritative supply for a niche area.
- The stores should be optimized (using SearchFit's automatic optimization tools) and strategically linked. The end result is multiple stores whose product pages are listed in search engine results, draw traffic and make sales.
Many variations can be made per store. Here's just a few: Main design template, product display, products per store, product prices, product descriptions, information pages, discounts, page names, currencies. This gives you the power to sell products in completely different looking stores that focus on different types of customers.
The new sites will each be on a different domain and can be created incredibly fast. Using SearchFit's template system and automatic optimization features, new sites can be made in a small fraction of the time it took to create your main site. It can take as little as a few hours to set up a new site.
To do the above using only one shopping cart would be impossible with the shopping competition's software. In addition, the many small adjustments that need to be made to stores can be done much faster using SearchFit. For example, if you have 50 stores and would like to change prices for a set of products, SearchFit allows you to change prices in one location that will affect the price for all stores. The competition's software would require you to update each store individually. There are countless similar examples like changing designs, adding products and optimization. SearchFit will reduce your development costs and decrease the time it takes for you to see results.
We constantly upgrade SearchFit with new features requested by our customers and in-house development team. Take a look at the below list to see how we compare to the competition. You won't be disappointed.
