There's more to eCommerce than building a shop

One of the many things we have learned over the years is, that for shop owners selling online involves much more than creating an online shop.

So of course ShopFactory is much more than a point and click shopping cart software package. It is a complete eCommerce software solution designed to address all the issues you will encounter when you begin to sell online.

From shop building and maintenance to fraud protection and order management — and much, much more.

Put simply ShopFactory is e-Commerce software designed to make e-Commerce easy for you. It is far more than a website builder which adds a shopping cart to your website.

All the features for your success

So many features — so easy to use. Since we released the first version of ShopFactory in 1996, it has become much more than just shopping cart software.

Today ShopFactory is one of the most powerful and feature rich eCommerce solutions available. With more than 229,000 shops built to date and around 1.2 billion customers visiting ShopFactory shops every year, our experience is virtually unmatched.

This experience can be your secret weapon on your way to e-Commerce success. Because we put everything we learn straight into ShopFactory. For your benefit.

Sophisticated Content Managament System (CMS)

At the heart of ShopFactory is a sophisticated database driven Content Management System. Unlike most available eCommerce software solutions it lets you see what your website will look like, while you build it.

You can add pages or products with the click of a button or import them for faster shop building. Put products on hold, link from one page to another or link from one product to a related product. ShopFactory stays on top of it.

If you remove a product or put it on hold, the links to it disappear, too. This might not sound like much right now. But when you have a successful website, you'll love this feature.

ShopFactory of course also maintains your website navigation, to ensure your customers will always find their way around.

Search engine friendly

Search engine website promotion on the Internet attracts more customers to your website. Your ShopFactory e-commerce solution makes it easy.

Your website will automatically be optimized to achieve the best possible results in search engines such as Google. Many integrated SEO functions allow you to optimize your website even further to achieve the best possible search engine optimization, SEO.

Publish your shopping cart website and sell

Your ShopFactory website and shopping cart software will work on any Internet website space. Simply publish your shop automatically with the integrated publishing tool and wait for your orders to roll in.

There are no special hosting or server requirements for your shopping cart software — just publish your shop and start selling.

If you don’t have a web space or Internet address yet, then ShopFactory will make getting your own Internet space and website address easy with its integrated hosting offer.

Your personal website designer

With its many great looking website templates, ShopFactory is like your personal website designer, enabling you to easily create a professional website with integrated shopping cart software.

Customizing a design to make it even more suitable for your business is point and click easy. Your ShopFactory eCommerce solution will even resize images for you to make sure they fit properly!

Leading shopping cart functionalities

ShopFactory automatically adds one of the most powerful shopping cart software solutions available to the websites it creates for you — including the required Buy Now buttons.

Its list of eCommerce functions is unmatched. In fact you will find many functions in ShopFactory, which are unavailable in much more expensive solutions.

Best of all you get these functions without having to install or understand complex server side software. With ShopFactory you can receive orders, as soon as you have published your website.

You no longer have to compromise between ease of use and powerful functionality.

ShopFactory grows with you

As your eCommerce venture becomes more successful, your eCommerce requirements will grow. We have seen this again and again.

So we have made sure ShopFactory grows with you by including and supporting functions and features which you would normally only expect in much more expensive solutions.

Supported services such as online order management, electronic software delivery (ESD), real-time stock control, real-time payment systems, membership and reseller tracking, advertising tracking and others also allow you to extend the functionality of ShopFactory, as your requirements increase (Included with ShopFactory Total Care).

With ShopFactory you won't have to look for a new solution, when your success kicks in.

No limit on customer numbers

Did you know that most eCommerce solutions can only deal with a limited number of customers in your shop at the same time? This is caused by limitations of the server side technology used by these solutions.

As their shopping cart software is installed on the Internet Server, the shopping cart responds more slowly; every customer puts extra strain on your server.

The more customers enter your shop, the slower these websites become — until your shop stops working.

ShopFactory is different. For the last ten years we have been using client-side technology similar to the technology now being made popular by Google.

Designed to deal with virtually unlimited amounts of customers and to respond quickly to them.

We believe your shop should be able to deal with as many customers as you can attract — not work against you, when you are successful.

Receive payments and orders online!

The entire buy now functionality and shopping cart software as well as a secure ordering page are included, when you create your website with a ShopFactory e-commerce solution.

All you have to do is to select the payment methods you can accept — ShopFactory takes care of the rest.

Your shop will send orders to you and order confirmations to your customers. For a small optional fee you can also store your orders online (this is included in ShopFactory Total Care), so you can be sure you never miss an order, even when you’re away from the office

Ideal for small to medium sized shops

ShopFactory is ideal for small to medium sized web shops with up to 10,000 products. The vast majority of our customers list between 10 to 1,000 products in their shops.

While we know of shop owners who successfully maintain websites with more than 30,000 products, ShopFactory has not really been designed with such large shops in mind.

Accept credit cards, PayPal and more

Your e-commerce solution is compatible with many online payment services, so you can have customer payments automatically approved. GlobeCharge, PayPal, Authorize.Net and WorldPay are just a few of them.
