ShopFactory

One of the many things we have learned over the years is, that for shop owners selling online involves much more than creating an online shop. So of course ShopFactory is much more than point and click shopping cart software.

It is a complete e-Commerce software solution designed to address all the issues you will encounter when you begin to sell online. From shop building and maintenance to fraud protection and order management – and much, much more.

Put simply ShopFactory is e-Commerce software designed to make e-Commerce easy for you. It is far more than a website builder which adds a shopping cart to your website.

At the heart of ShopFactory is a sophisticated database driven Content Management System. Unlike most available e-Commerce software solutions it lets you see what your website will look like, while you build it.

You can add pages or products with the click of a button or import them for faster shop building. Put products on hold, link from one page to another or link from one product to a related product. ShopFactory stays on top of it.

If you remove a product or put it on hold, the links to it disappear, too. This might not sound like much right now. But when you have a successful website, you'll love this feature.

ShopFactory of course also maintains your website navigation, to ensure your customers will always find their way around.

ShopFactory is point and click easy to use. No programming skills are required to create great looking websites. You can do almost everything with a few mouse clicks.

But of course as shop developer or owner you may want to take things further by creating a unique look for your website.

ShopFactory's customization features are second to none. You won't believe how easy it is to customize the look of a website with your mouse; thanks to the ShopFactory Website themes, which can change their looks just like a chameleon. Even if you have no idea about website coding or programming!

After all - to be successful you will want to look your best in front of your customers.

ShopFactory automatically adds one of the most powerful shopping cart software solutions available to your website - including the required Buy Now buttons.

Its list of e-Commerce functions is unmatched. In fact you will find many functions in ShopFactory, which are unavailable in much more expensive solutions.

Best of all you get these functions without having to install or understand complex server side software. With ShopFactory you can receive orders, as soon as you have published your website.

You no longer have to compromise between ease of use and powerful functionality.

When you have set up your shop and your orders start rolling in, you have to stay on top of them.

ShopFactory comes with a free service which allows you to accept orders in a secure online environment.

ShopFactory also comes with SalesManager: order management software designed to help you stay on top of your orders.

Of course ShopFactory orders can be imported into the leading backend accounting systems, such as QuickBooks, Sage Line 50 and Lexware, for example.

All of a sudden integrating your online venture with your business processes has become easy.

As your e-Commerce venture becomes more successful, your e-Commerce requirements will grow. We have seen this again and again.

So we have made sure ShopFactory grows with you by including and supporting functions and features which you would normally only expect in much more expensive solutions.

Supported services such as online order management, electronic software delivery (ESD), real-time stock control, real-time payment systems, membership and reseller tracking, advertising tracking and others also allow you to extend the functionality of ShopFactory, as your requirements increase.

With ShopFactory you won't have to look for a new solution, when your success kicks in.

Did you know that most e-Commerce solutions can only deal with a limited number of customers in your shop at the same time?

This is caused by limitations of the server side technology used by these solutions. As their shopping cart software is installed on the Internet Server, the shopping cart responds more slowly; every customer puts extra strain on your server. The more customers enter your shop, the slower these websites become - until your shop stops working.

ShopFactory is different. For the last ten years we have been using clientside technology similar to the technology now being made popular by Google. Designed to deal with virtually unlimited amounts of customers and to respond quickly to them.

We believe your shop should be able to deal with as many customers as you can attract - not work against you, when you are successful.

ShopFactory is ideal for small to medium sized web shops with up to 10,000 products. The vast majority of our customers list between 10 to 1,000 products in their shops.

While we know of shop owners who successfully maintain websites with  more than 30,000 products, ShopFactory has not really been designed with such large shops in mind.
