PinnacleCart - One of the few shopping cart
software products for which you can choose the type of license:
customers are offered to choose from hosted (monthly fee) or
distribution package (one-time license fee) which you can install on
any compatible hosting space. This ecommerce software is equipped with
flexible shipping system, payment configuration and lots of features
for product promotion and advertising.
A weakness of this shopping cart solution is that getting
authorized assistance with software customizations for it is not easy.
While the community forum provides a decent amount of third-party
solutions, the software manufacturer only provides design services, but
not programming.
