How to Choose the Best Ecommerce

Happy online shoppers equals more onlion sales. In order to correctly evaluate ecommerce you must look at it from the shoppers viewpoint. Getting a free trial is absolutely pointless - a free trial only allows you to see the Merchant side. Most merchants fail to evaluate ecommerce software properly and don't realise their sales could be a lot better.

Does it pass the Shopper test?
• Is the text large enough to read without zooming on smartphones - if text is too small you'll lose sales.
• Is the text consistent over each page - if the text size varies shoppers will hate it.
• On a smartphone do the pages fit on the small screen? Is the popup large image correctly sized?
• Is the page crowded with banners and ads - these will distract shoppers from completing sales.
• Shun ecommerce software that depends on mouseover information - mouseover is unavailable to touch devices.
• Shoppers hate having to create an account - make sure they can shop without an account.
• Is each page delivered swiftly without stalling the browser, especially on a smartphone?
• Do you feel your credit card is safe? Make sure you are offering safe options to shoppers.
• Is Search simple and effective
• Can you easily configure a simple info page? Shoppers only want one page with all the important info on it

AcornShop has ticked all these boxes.

After the software has passed the shopper test... it needs to pass the merchant test:
• How much configuration is involved? The more configuration options the harder it is to manage. Our software just uses the bare minimum configuration.
• Is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) a no-brainer? We have made the SEO simple, so you don't need to spend thousands of dollars.
• Does the software include feedback for cancelled sales? Ours does - you need to know why shoppers cancel.
• Can you easily configure a simple info page? Shoppers only want one page with all the important info on it
• If you are using AusPost shipping does it include the new AusPost PAC or is it the old AusPost DRC?
• The cost of using the ecommerce must be reasonable, otherwise your profits will be down.
• Does it support onselling, onselling is important for profit maximisation and happy shoppers.
