Also, would like to mention that we do offer a FREE Mercury Gift Card integration and Payment Gateway with X-cart. You'll have one statement and not three and you won't have to pay three different transaction fees.
For more information please call Mercury or see our site here:
If you have any type of special customization or feature needs for your site we highly recommend bringing those up ASAP and we can address how that will work with the Web Integrator and X-cart. The new Web Integrator has a few new featurese and is now in Beta for testing with a few clients. The new version would have addressed some of Mikes problems, but not the 3rd party mods which are out of it's realm of control.

Hi all...yes this is all true - you can do a lot of editing with the CSS...we also have something called NitroScript which is essentially an extension of HTML. By manipulating the CSS and editing the various pages of the templates' layout using NitroScript, you can have completely unique looking desings. Check out the following:
We're even doing full mutli-language & multi-currency templates now:
Hope this helps... Todd

I'm going to jump back into this thread. First of all most of these posts don't address the original question of : which solution is bug free. I doubt neither is bug free.
I bought the Kosmos solution almost 3 years ago. At the time I could only find the NWT integrator and Nitrosell. Usually the posts about RMS and E-commerce are in reference to which is the best solution. Most of the comparisons on here are between apples and oranges. The majority of statements on here have been in ref. to web design, SEO and page load speed etc.. If the question was who has the best hosting and the comparison was behind Nitrosell and each individual hosting service for the sample Kosmos sites, this would be a fair question. But it's not fair and that is one of the primary reasons you should give Kosmos consideration.
- Web design for the Kosmos solution can be handled in numerous ways. If you want a inexpensive site you can use the included skins or spend 0-0 and get an exisiting skin customized. I have been quoted anywhere from 0 to 00 for custom designs. There are lots of designers that specialize in custom skins and development for X- Cart and a lot of them are really good. With Nitrosell you are limited in the design options, it's either use their templates or pay for development.
- You have more control over SEO with X-Cart, there are modules and services available or you can do it yourself.
- Speed of page loads and data transfer is only partially based on the solution code. How it is hosted has a large impact on these speeds. If you are on a shared server with 200 other sites you probably are not going to be as fast as if you are on a dedicated server. With the Kosmos solution, if it's not fast enough you can move to a different hosting solution as you own it. With Nitrosell, if it's slow your stuck with it as they sell the service not the product.
- If you need a custom function/service and Nitrosell doesn't offer it - your stuck. If X-Cart doesn't have it, you can buy modules and modifications from a lot of 3rd pary vendors. You can also have a custom solution developed as it's open source and there are an abundance of X-Cart developers out there.
As for me, I wanted to own the solution and Kosmos was the only option. I run two sites off of one database and will probably expand to as many as 5 sites within the upcoming year. The costs for each additional site are no where's near the price of the original solution purchase. You are not forced to buy all of your software from Kosmos (I'm sure they'd like you to though). I'm not sure how Nitrolsell prices their multi-sites as it was not available when I upgraded my system.
I can't tell you that Kosmos is better than Nitrosell as I haven't used Nitrosell. I would think if you are a store owner with limited computer experience Nitrosell might be closer to a plug and play solution. I can tell you that I'm happy with Kosmos and how it has expanded to meet my needs. I am extremely impressed with the support that Kosmos has given me and my company. then new dispatcher system is pretty powerful.
One other point; one of my sites is for an organization and required that I be able to process their propietary credit cards (not processed by normal merchant service providers) Kosmos was able to develop a custom gateway that processed their credit cards. I also accept Google checkout and do large percentage of sales through it. Google is a key player in the online commerce scene. I use Google adwords to produce traffic/conversions and I don't pay any processing fees for Google transactions,so it's like taking cash (no fee). Google is easily added to X-Cart at no charge.

But, that is exactly why I chose Kosmos. First you cannot compare page load speed etc. between the two. Why? Because it is only a fixed entity with Nitrosell. and
