Hi everyone,

Just looking for a little advice between the 3 Ecommerce solutions available. The 7 or so products will be rotated very frequently, every day actually, with a new product added daily and one removed.

Obviously need it to be very user friendly for the client to add/remove products and manage payments, shipping, etc. Also, as far as shipping goes, do all 3 support UPS, USPS & FedEx? Another requirement, which doesn’t seem too outlandish, is that it will need to be able to handle around 10,000 orders/month. How are the reporting features of each?

Seems like CartThrob utilizing native Channels is a nice feature whereas BR seems a bit more like an add-on but also seems like it has great features. I guess I’m really deciding between CT and BR but I don’t know much about Exp:resso so I would love input on all 3.

Thanks!

Exp:resso Store is similar to CartThrob in that it uses EE’s native channels. It has a UPS shipping plugin, but no USPS or FedEx (although you could sponsor the creation of those plugins). They also have pretty great support. I believe they all come with a 30 day money-back guarantee and are all pretty much the same price.

I tried BrilliantRetail but ended up going with Store. The template tags were much easier to wrap my mind around, and in my opinion, were more flexible.
