1ShoppingCart and Shopify are two very popular ecommerce solutions or online shopping carts.  Both solutions are well suited for small and mid-sized businesses. They both provide a simplified means to set up and run an online store while keeping your customer's financial information secure. You also don't have to download any software onto your computer - you just run the program through your web browser.

How do 1ShoppingCart and Shopify compare with each other?

Features

1ShoppingCart and Shopify both offer a lot of the same features. They both provide inventory tracking, discount codes and coupons, and the ability to accept payment in multiple currencies. Furthmore, 1ShoppingCart and Shopify both allow shops to assign products to multiple categories and customize the colors, logo and background of your store's design. 1ShoppingCart does have a few extra features, however, such as upsell funnels that can provide multiple offers to each customer.

Support

1ShoppingCart offers phone support to its Ultimate Unlimited Support customers. This is a special paid service that costs $34/month or $379/year. Additional benefits include assigned account representatives and a guaranteed email response within the next business day. If you are a standard customer, you can still receive technical assistance by submitting a question through the website.

Shopify offers phone and email support to all of its users. The company also has an online support center with more than 100 articles that describe how to manage accounts, change the theme, set up a domain name, and more.

Mobile

1ShoppingCart has a Mobile Notifier for the iPhone that can let users know whenever a customer has placed an order. Shopify has a similar mobile application for the iPhone, though it also supports push notifications and the ability to manage multiple stores.

Integrations

Both products feature a wide variety of third-party integrations. 1ShoppingCart can integrate with Quickbooks, Google Analytics, aMember, Virtual Media, and Wordpress, among others. Shopify has the ability to integrate with Voice Connect, Deepmine, Kudyou, and QueryString, and several more.

Price

Shopify has four pricing options available. The basic plan costs $29/month and provides 100 SKUs, 1 GB of storage and a 2.0% transaction fee. The professional plan costs $59/month and provides 2,500 SKUs, 5 GB of storage, and a 1.0% transaction fee. There is also the business plan at $99/month and the unlimited plan at $179/month if you would like more SKUs and storage space.

1ShoppingCart bases its pricing plans on the features you will use. The starter plan costs $39/month, though it only provides the shopping cart. The basic plan costs $69/month and provides shopping cart and email marketing capabilities. The Professional plan costs $129/month and adds extra features like Upsell Express and digital downloads. 1ShoppingCart also has the autoresponder plan at $34/month if you just want an autoresponder, ad tracking, and email campaigns.

Bottom Line

No matter what product you choose, you're going to have a powerful solution with lots of great features. They also both have a free trial available, so if you still need more information, feel free to try out the application ahead of time.
