[Hidden-tech] Wanted: A flexible and affordable affiliate-friendly shopping cart

[Roman Victor]

Hi,

I use the www.Line9.com solution.

You actually buy it as a complete system in ASP code and as a web developer
you need to get your own SSL certificate and then link to your server. I
like it as I control the costs better since the monthly costs are just the
Credit Card processing fees. Orders can be processed on or off line. It is
not perfect, but it works and I can see what is happening and readily adjust
the source code rather than a black box approach. You might want to consider
a yahoo store as well.

My assistant has been trying to get 2CheckOut and Commission Cart
working together for months. It just isn't happening.

Anyone have any recommendations for a system that...

-->Must-Have
* Offers shopping cart capabilities for physical books, e-books, and
services--and autodownloads  e-products
* Can handle different discounts for different products, and also for
different purchasing levels of the same product
* Tracks affiliate performance and commissions, and reports them to
me in an understandable format
* Allows customers to use either paypal or credit cards (My shopping
cart and order form already handle both)
* Allows at least 200 different affiliates
* Has affordable fees, preferably a small percentage of product
rather than recurring monthly charges
* Can differentiate among shipping charges for global priority,
domestic priority, media mail, and electronic downloads with no
shipping cost

-->Nice-to-Have
* One-time payment rather than recurring monthly fees (or,
optionally, a small percentage of each sale instead of either one)
* Allows temporary promotional specials
* Can handle different discounts for different purchasing levels of
the same product
* Can trigger autorespoonders or autoresponder series
* Creates URLs that are reasonably short, e.g.
product.affiliate.domain , rather than two lines of code
* Allows unlimited numbers of affiliates
* Interfaces smoothly with Mal's shopping cart
