I was looking to see if you could just purchase the shopping cart software.... I absolutely will not pay $100 a month for mediocre webhosting on one site. I do understand that the $100 includes many features and things that I do not need so there is no point to having tech support, SSL, and other features, when currently I pay $20 a month with my current hosting plan and get 1,500GB of transfer, 24/7 tech support, dedicated SSL, as well as multiple websites hosted under one plan. I'd like the opportunity to purchase the software without being commited to the hefty hosting fees if possible. I do like the software and it is very easy to use, but what you offer is not something that I would have any interest in as is.

I'd still be interested but I've found another shopping cart just as powerful for $300 so you'd have to beat that price, and also still give me a listing on your website as they do.

Hi Archmaille and Welcome to the forums!!

MonsterCommerce does not currently offer our software for purchase. However, please make sure you are taking a few items into account when comparing packages.

Please make sure you are comparing an e-commerce platform to another e-commerce platform, these are more complex and more expensive than a standard hosting account.

If you purchase a shopping cart package, do not forget to figure in any integrations you may need such as, payment gateways, paypal, shipping calculators, etc...

Also, if you do purchase a third party software package, you will need to make sure the hosting and/or software provider is able to maintain a PCI/CISP/PABP compliance. These are extensive and required standards and regulations that you as an online merchant are required to adhere to.

Obviously, this are just a very few of the considerations to take into account, if you need more in depth information, we recommend you contact our sale department at 888-252-3266 and one of our specialist will be happy to discuss it with you.

Thanks

Brian
