ShopSite Ecommerce Shopping Cart Features
Browse ShopSite Features to Compare Packages

ShopSite is a unique ecommerce software solution for small to medium-sized businesses. Many shopping cart solutions have packages that differ based on bandwidth and number of products the merchant can host, but ShopSite provides 3 distinct packages that differ based on feature set alone, which makes reviewing all ShopSite features very important. This is because ShopSite is a licensed solution that merchants host on their own server, but you can pay a monthly fee if you want to use a ShopSite provider for hosting instead of purchasing a license. The amount of products you can sell and the bandwidth available depends on the hosting you choose, not the ShopSite package you choose. This is why it's very important to review the comparison chart below, which shows the features for ShopSite Starter, ShopSite Manager, and ShopSite Pro. You'll notice that ShopSite Pro is the most feature rich option, while ShopSite starter is geared toward someone just getting into ecommerce. Review the ShopSite features below to see how they compare when deciding which ShopSite package is right for your online store.
