This is an article about Vevocart which is the vendor of shopping cart software for eCommerce web sites. For the last year we have been using Vevocart software for many of our client’s websites in various industries including retail, wedding, real-estate and procurement. Here is a link to a e-commerce site built on ASP.Net and SQL Server utilising Vevocart shopping cart – Wedding Invitations, Wedding Accessories and Bridal Jewellery by Tres Beau.
If you are a small business or wanting to start your own first e-commerce website then look no further because Vevocart could be the shopping cart solution for you.
We decided to choose Vevocart for our clients because it was easy to use, completely free to customise solution because Vevocart provides all the source code for the shopping cart solution. Hence we were able listen to what our clients wanted us to deliver to them and achieve this by integrating custom business logic into various components of the shopping cart. Additional Vevocart provides comprehensive support for it product and updates which is downloadable from the Vevocart website.
Vevocart is built of ASP.NET C# technology and makes use the Microsoft SQL Server database or alternatively you can use Microsoft Access Database if you want to avoid additional hosting costs. From my experience if you are considering high volume usage I would recommend that you invest a little more on your hosting and host your website to make use of a SQL Server database. SQL Server platform has the advantage to handle a high number of concurrent users who are simultaneously accessing and modifying data, whilst an Access Database can potentially lock-up which could result in your website being unavailable and a horrible consequence of lost data.
Originally we started using Vevocart 2.5.1 for Tres Beau – Wedding Invitations, Accessories and Bridal Jewellery. In the last year Vevocart brought our version 3 of their shopping cart software which introduced a lot more functionality into their product which was the motivation to update the client’s e-commerce website to now use Vevocart 3.0.2. Since then the product has been reliable and provide a high degree of flexibility in making customisations to the front end, checkout process and making customisations for the sale of Wedding Invitations on the website.
I would highly recommend this product if you are looking for a cost-effective solution which contains functionality targeted towards your business. Many competitors’ products offer a lot of functionality which is more targeted towards large business or enterprise customers which would not be recommended if you are a small to medium size business, and this is built into the licensing cost. On the other hand Vevocart is cost-effective because of this it is offering a cut-down solution targeted towards small to medium businesses.
