big-commerce

I am a big fan of Interspire’s Email Marketer software.  This Australian-based company has just released a new subscription-based Software-as-a-Service shopping cart system called BigCommerce.  SaaS is the future of the web and the guys at Interspire have done a great job converting their existing product, Interspire Shopping Cart, into a SaaS offering.  I think that the product will be very successful because the product fills a bit of a niche in the market.  Here’s some more info…

BigCommerce is a hosted, fully managed ecommerce platform which includes everything you need to sell your products online. Interspire takes care of all the “tech stuff” so you can focus on growing your business. They make sure your online store is always up and running, they push new features to your store as soon as they’re ready to go and they’re just a phone call away if you have any questions.

There’s nothing to install, no hosting to buy, no servers to setup, no backups to worry about and no upgrades to install. Interspire takes care of everything so you can focus on growing your business with  BigCommerce.

Start by signing up for a 15 day free trial (no credit card required) so you can experience everything BigCommerce has to offer. The free trial is fully functional and the BigCommerce support portal includes a user guide and step-by-step training videos if you get stuck.

Sounds like a great way for small businesses to dip their toes into the world of e-commerce.
