Exploring New Shopping Cart Solution

As an online merchant, I have many people approaching me trying to sell me ecommerce solutions. However, I am not very adventurous and do not like to learn to use something new by myself. Therefore, I only try something out upon the recommendation by friends who are users and could lend me a helping hand if I am stuck, and it looks like I always am :-)

An ecommerce software that a friend told me about and recommends that I check it out is Ashop Commerce's shopping cart software solution. According to my friend, it is all just point and click to install this to a website and we are good to go. There is no steep learning curve to master at all. He suggested that I give it a try since I could try it out and see if I am comfortable with using it during the ten day free trial. They do not even require us to provide our credit card so there is no fear that we will be billed if we cancel our subscription.

I asked my friend what is the advantage of changing to Ashop from my current shopping cart and he told me that Ashop has integrated payment processing by all major processors plus built -in secure SSL protection that every shopping would look out for when disclosing financial information over the internet.

HHmm my current payment processor is missing some key gateways and it is hindering my business. I think this is a pretty good time to explore new avenues.
