Asp or aspdotnetstorefront based e-commerce shopping cart implementation is very well regarded by any company looking seriously at ecommerce solutions and design for its business. Our services extend to custom aspdotnetstorefront design and implementation, custom VPASP design and programming and other shopping cart customization and implementation based on asp.net.
We suggest carts such aspdotnetstorefront, ablecommerce, VPASP etc. because the dot net approach allows such shopping carts to be robust, feature, rich , secure and scalable performing high number of transactions and carrying heavy data loads.
Asp dot net ecommerce design and programming can be implemented through a variety of shopping carts which provide a host of functions and features ranging from basic to advanced ecommerce functionality.
The prime ones amongst these are:
a) Ablecommerce : Ablecommerce is an award winning shopping cart based on asp.net although it also comes in coldfusion version. It has many features and also is industry leading in some respects for example it has seo friendly url rewriting , is Visa/MC PCI compliant and works with a variety of payment gateways and shipping providers. As we have personally worked with Ablecommerce (Wicked Overstock ) we can definitely say that is developer friendly in many respects and also has decent customer service team. It provides both the hosted option as well as one time license fee option. Find out more details on custom ablecommerce design services in our website.
b) Aspdotnetstorefront: This is a worthy competitor of ablecommerce and as per there website is maintaining the highest standards in compliance by being Visa approved and PABP certified (ML 7.1 version). Amongst the plethora of features which most shopping carts offer, Aspdotnetstorefront does have interesting features such as drop shipping , integrated CRM and inventory management features, accounting and GL. What this means is that for small businesses stretching themselves it is a great integrated ecommerce solution, not just a shopping cart. As far as the price goes, yes its on the higher end if you go for the integrated CRM version which comes for 1995$ while the excluding the CRM features, the version containing all other features comes for around 1295$. However here source code is only provided optionally and priced at 995$ and in some cases of high customization in a project, source code is needed.
c) Custom VPASP Design: I know, some of you may be thinking, why go in for an asp store when asp.net is there. Well, asp itself is not a bad option. True asp.net used the .net platform and adds more object oriented structur etc. but the bottom line is VPASP is also industry strength robust shopping cart. It probably has lesser features than either aspdotnetstorefront or ablecommerce and certainly no integrated CRM but it stores in certain other respects. For example against the two above, it does come with fully open source asp code making it customizable. Also it provides a range of multilingual and multicurrency options. It does have some issues in terms handling of some payment gateways but they can be sorted out by tweaking and testing. Custom VPASP design and programming is indeed a services we offer. Also VPASP is definitely lower priced and offers more options in terms of adding or leaving out features - examples affiliates and gift certificates/ coupons is an optional set of feature which comes in the Plus version ( $375) . The fully loaded deluxe version costs ($475). Also it provides some complimentary support credits. I think in a nutshell it can be said that VPASP is more flexible in low end pricing and low end small business offerings.
