Need a shopping cart for your website? I was checking out Boss Cart today, and it appears to be an excellent one. If you have just a few items, or are just starting out with your first ecommerce site, it is always nice to start with a free shopping cart.

Boss Cart is currently available two ways, and soon a third option will be available. The first is my favorite, free. All you have to do is paste a little code in the footer of your site to agree to the terms of usage.

Here is a list of some features with this free version, Boss Cart JV. The JV stands for Joomla Virtumart.

  • Quick and easy to set up
  • Powerful catalogue manager, manages over 20,000 products
  • Tools to create your own unique design or use pre-designed themes
  • Integrate your online store with payment gateway of your choice
  • Host your shop with web hosting company of your choice
  • Extensive marketing and merchandising features, including social marketing plugin
  • Bulk product upload to make populating your store easy
  • 30 Days money back guarantee

The second version, Boss Card Premium is a paid version. Though you must ask for a quote, the owner has ensured me that this is very “affordable eCommerce Software“.

The third package, soon to be offered, is the bespoke shopping software, Boss Cart Optimum. This is a 100% customized package for your ecommerce site needs. You are not really buying a software package here though. You are buying experienced shopping cart experts. They will then give your site a truly unique, customized shopping experience, available only to your visitors.

Looking Around on The Web

Before putting a software package like this to use, I first like to look around a little to see who else is using it, and how it’s being used. Doing a quick search on Google for “enhanced by bosscart”, I found 695 links. I had no problem at all finding many sites using the free version, and the ones I visited appeared to be working very well.

If you are using this ecommerce software please let us know how it works for you by posting a comment below. My two cents? Two thumbs up!
