GoutPal Interactive

So you’re one of those gouty webmasters looking for ideas are you? Or perhaps a gout-free webmaster looking for ideas? Here’s a good idea: shopping cart software.

Now this site doesn’t need one, you just get pure free gout information. But I’m building another site that will need it someday. And if I ever write that gout book, I’m going to need some good ecommerce software to sell it.

In fact, I’ve been put off selling anything online when I’ve seen all the problems associated with setting up a shopping cart on my own server. Will it be secure? Will it be reliable? Will it handle all the features I’ll need like selling egoods (my gout book will be an ebook if I ever get round to it), or monitoring affiliate sales.

Now I’ve seen the solution – Ashop Commerce. It has every feature I am going to need, but the best thing is the shopping cart software is hosted on their server, so no worries about security, downtime and all the other things that detract from getting on with my writing.

Speaking of writing, this Ashop ecommerce software allows me to write my own information about anything to support the shopping cart offerings. This is a real boom for me, as I hate offering anything for sale without the ability to add lots of enticing pre-sale information. I like the post-sale order tracking facility as well. Customers checking their own order status online saves hours of phone calls and emailing.

And now the best bit – you can try it for free. No, this isn’t one of those “give me your credit card” deals you get with so many companies who then keep blanking you when you try to cancel. You just try it free for 10 days with absolutely no obligation, other than agreeing to normal legal trading practices. OK, you can’t actually take a payment until you start paying for the service, but you can do all the road testing you need to ensure this crucial service is compatible with your business. I like that.

Please Note: I get paid a tiny amount for advertising products and service like this, which helps with Gout Pal running costs. Look on it as a bonus break from reading and worrying about gout. It’s still my honest opinion.

Get more information about this shopping cart software at www.ashop.com.au – great Aussie website and not a cricket bat in site sight.
