IM SCHOCKED!! at how long this thread has been going. Ok my 2cents over the past 6 years.

1- MOM not worth it at all stay away.
2- Mainstreat Commerce = Ripoff $1,000 a month, no demo time
3- IS = I looked into this 3 years ago and ive always said the concept is great but no way is this ready for the real world.

SO what im currently using is ********* Order Manager = excellent once you get usaed to it and figure it all out, Support is excellent, their forums are filled with other users and employees and very active, help is a click away literally. VERY Worth every dime.

Site is hosted on a yahoo store platform, which i hate, small fortune to build professionally though YStoreTools.com is my number one source and choice for anything to do with my yahoo store after being ripped off by 3 other developers.

now my only problem is finding a Database developer who can build me a database to integrate all my suppliers and custom calculations etc..

Ive been in development with aspdotnetstorefront shopping cart for 9 months. Let me just say stay the heck away from this shopping cart too, this company is in the business of price fixing their cart, as well as deleting your posts from within their forums if they cant fix a known bug with their cart, they are extremely unhelpful and the truth is they do nothing to help you, their forums are answered mostly by their reps when they feel like it and if they feel like it. If i had any money i would take this company to court. Their documentation is confusing at best and very unclear. Unless you know everything there is to know about XML and ASP.net, plus other programing skills most of dont have stay away from aspdotnetstorefront shopping cart youll save yourself 1500 bucks, stress and a huge freaking headache.


Seeing how long this thread has been going and how many of the same people are still tracking this, I kind of feel like asking what about if a bunch of us get together and develop our version of a real shopping cart and order management system, supply chain management, shipping system, etc.. everything we need under one roof. This would be a huge undertaking. Im not even sure if would be possible.

We would need a development team and few dedicated individuals who are willing to fund, test and build this from our first hand real world use knowledge.

I have been scouring the internet day and night for years looking for a solid system, and to the best of my knowledge it doesnt exist without an absolutely ridiculous investment.

Can it be done? can it be scalable? can it be profitable or can we just build it for our own use?
