Hi all,

looking for some information on e-commerce software thats out there. Currently have a basic hand built e-commerce site that has a PR2. but looking for a more user-friendly/less developer-reliant piece of software.

my first question is, will moving to a new e-commerce package (and all the different urls it brings) impact upon the pagerank of the domain?

secondly, i'm looking for an e-commerce package that allows inventory of specific options, for example i have 16 white t-shirts, and the breakdown would be 2/8/3/3 (s/m/l/xl), on purchase of the 2 small t-shirts the product would no-longer display them as selectable.

obviously i'm not sure on whether you can name specific products, but i've looked at the following:

Actinic Business
ClickCartPro
CubeCart
osCommerce (this doesnt seem to do my second point so it's out of the window unless anyone knows otherwise!)
LiteCommerce
CactuShop

platform would be a win2003 server with IIS. (has php installed)

am i missing some glaring obviousness with regards to popular (and usable, the end user group isn't technical, but is IT savvy.)

if naming and shaming certain products isn't allowed, feel free to PM me.

Thanks guys/gals

how many urls are indexed? Assuming you don't want to can the SE traffic while you rebuild, be careful.

There are carts that allow you to select you own URLs. You could potentially re-create the same pages if you wanted to.

Have you considered having one custom written ?

it's currently already custom wrote (based around the old Commerce Starter Kit), but the administration side is quite unfriendly to an admin.
