We liked the SunShop shopping cart software, it provides everything you need to get your site created and customer interfaces running. We also liked that it provides great templates but also supports full customization. In addition, this product is extremely well priced and you don’t have to buy a new license every year. Once you buy it, you can use it for as long as you want.
