Sandbox and Yahoo Stores

patrickb_313 · #1 02-16-2006, 02:37 PM

Do you have a sandbox where potential customers can play around with the various features? I know that you have these great video tutorials, along with these forums, but sometimes, at least for me, I have to do something in order to uncover any "gotchas." This has been my experience in the past. Things look great until you start using them and by then you've paid your set up fees and monthly fees, or yearly fees, and you're stuck.

If there's anyone who has used Yahoo Stores and can compare the two, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks.

It would be really nice to be able to play around with Soholaunch, before committing to buying an account. Just to make sure it does what it says, like the bulk upload feature and the built-in shopping cart. And to see how configurable it is... stuff like that. Kind of like test driving a car before you buy it.

Soholaunch does EXACTLY as it says it does in the tutorials,
for security reasons we do not provide demo accounts.......

0 to 60 in 7.7

Can you describe for me how to do a bulk upload? This isn't covered in a tutorial; it's just listed as a feature.

BTW, I'm the same way when I buy a shirt. I hate wasting money.

I really do appreciate your prompt replies and your apparent unlimited supply of patience. :)

Maybe someone could take a look at my store (www.simplyperfectgiftbaskets.com) and give me some guidance as to which solution would work best? I checked out the Soholaunch docs and didnt' see anything that addressed the question of batch uploading products.

I need to be able to provide different shipping rates, gift wrapping options, personal messages, and providing a coupon code would be great. I have a few hundred different products and need to be able to easily change products depending on the holiday.

With my current store, I can create a .CSV file and upload all this information and the pages get built automatically. I upload my images in a zip and they get added to the correct page.

Perhaps this is why my store host can charge what they charge. Is there any solution here that can match these features?

Thanks, again, for you help.

Ahhhhh....Now we understand what you need....

Soholaunch is great, but if you want something more powerful and robust,
I suggest you use osCommerce....It is the number #1 shooping cart in the
world and has everything you require. Click the below...
