If you've spent any time in the CP message boards, or even searching ways to improve your shop on Google, you've probably at least heard of CPshop . If you're a non geek though, you may have been a bit intimidated by phrases such as "Perl Script", "compatible server", or even "installation".  CPshop - $19.77 from Marty.net
One of the most important things that CPshop offers, however, is the ability to host your store on your own web hosting account/server. If this already sounds confusing, think of it this way: What do you think is better, http://www.cafepress.com/mycooltshits, or www.mycooltshirts.com? True, you can simply forward any domain to a CP store, but hosting your own shop gives you the traffic. The white CP bar does not appear in your store except during cart/checkout, and the footer is a lot smaller. (it can even be removed for a fee) If all that wasn't enough to convince you, take the VB change and section limits into account. With CPshop you can pull several stores into one, virtually eliminating the section limit. The VB change is designed to encourage shopkeepers to market their own stores rather than rely on the CP marketplace for sales, and this is certainly a smart way to do that. (think branding) Finally, for those who are more focused on affiliate shops, CPshop is a very easy way to tie several of your affiliate stores in to one mega-mall. All you need to do is select the stores (or even sections/products) you want to affiliate with, and enter your CJ PID into CPshop. CPshop is available for only $19.77. To purchase, click HERE . |
