iScripts MultiCart - Multi Seller Shopping Cart Software Review

Amazon.com and Etsy.com are two of the most popular shopping sites on the web today. Many people have wanted to tap into the power of this kind of storefront with multiple people all selling products to the audience. iScripts MultiCart software provides this shopping cart capability to the new, up-and-coming, small business owner. The software provides all the tools to create the store, but since the software is 100% open source it can be entirely customized to fit a variety of uniqe needs.

iScripts MultiCart is a unique, powerful shopping cart software that allows you to create an online store with multiple sellers. The adminstrative area of the site allows the owner to manage products, buyers, sellers, and payments, as well as adjust the look of the site. While the administrator controls the main site, each individual seller also has his or her own administrative area to manage his or her products, orders, and shipments. Customers have the option to buy from multiple sellers all in one transaction, which makes shopping easy! The site owner can generate revenue from the site by either charging listing fees, membership fees, or commission.

The software supports an unlimited number of sellers, users, and products, so your business can grow indefinitely! Better yet, the software can be up and running in a matter of minutes, not days (for more information about installation visit the installation section of this page!)
