Help with shopping cart integration software selection?

I would also add Nitrosell to the list. It is easy to set-up and maintain.

Well Store front is very expensive $5000.00+ I would go with Newwest inetergrator and kosmos as the most cost effective solution.

Newwest? which is Newwest? Kosmos looks complicated with multiple modules.

NitroSell - I haven't found any information on exact pricing - but I do see they have ongoing fees, annual, monthly, traffic levels, etc. Is this the norm?

Kathryn,

I cuse New West and Kosmos, feel free to send me an email: johnnym59@(remove this)fastbreaksports.net to discuss. There are many things to consider and to long to post here.

Kathryn, there's nothing complicated about integrating our template packaged RMS eCommerce solution from Kosmos. If you'd like to talk to a couple of clients feel free to give me a call. As long as you don't have any customization to the code or design, your site can be up within days. Of course you'll want to modify any of the X-cart templates you choose to have your banner and logo's etc, which only takes a few minutes to swap out, but changing the code to do anything custom to your shop will take time and is always an open option. All of our clients that use the template non custom solution and already had their online merchant accounts set up have been able to launch within a week.

With our Implementation package we'll make sure everything is communicating for you and you'll only have to talk to Kosmos Central for the ecommerce integration piece and can be set up within days. We can easily set it up for you too, by using shared desktop software.

It may sound complicated but the technology pieces have to communicate this way for it to work, just like our competitors pieces.

1) You'll obviously need RMS to begin. This application is provided and supported by your reseller and New West Tech. 2) You need an application update your RMS data to the web and download from the cart. This application is the New Wes Technologies Web Integrator. 3) You'll need a Web Service to capture that data from the desktop application (the WI) and populate the shopping cart and download orders when queued. This piece is the Kosmos Web Services. 4) You'll need a shopping cart that is supported with 100's of features. This is X-cart, and we're an x-cart recommended hosting provider: After the WI is set up and a schedule is set you won't have to touch it again. The Kosmos Web Service is an application that sits within the X-cart files and does a lot of processing and you don't even know it's there, it just works. The only thing you have to worry about is making sure your RMS inventory is up to date and you have images associated with the items you wish to show on the web.

Hope this makes sense, if you'd like to schedule a personal live online demo, please give me a call and we can fit you in.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Hi Bill, did you purchase support and maintenance? Or at least an implementation of the software bundle? I've reviewed your account and did not locate a support package at all. This is a perfect scenario to why support and maintenance or the very least implementation is recommended by Kosmos. It looks like you purchased the developers package (software bundle only) specifically for developers who understand how to develop in PHP and X-cart's backend along with the basics of RMS. Any implementation problems can easily be fixed with purchasing implementation. With an implementation package we get everything setup for you so you can sell online. Without it you'll have to resort to the X-cart forums for support and play with the backend yourself. We have developers that have no problem implementing this package by themselves because they understand X-cart and RMS.

In this thread:

and Kosmos mention that this integration isn't that easy,which is why Nitrosell does the whole thing for you and will not giveyou the option to not purchase implementation. Nitrosell has a coststructure for their hosted solution and software is quoted outseparate from implementation. We also have an implementation cost tooand we've realized that selling the less expensive 'DevelopersPackage' to Non Developers, isn't a good idea and we're not doing thatanymore.

Please contact Kosmos for an implementation package and this situation will get resolved in no time. As a developer you can also pay for support by the hour too.
