BigCommerce and Amazon Webstore Top Best Storefronts

EcommerceBytes announced the top-five services in the Sellers Choice for “Storefronts & Shopping Carts” in Sunday’s issue of the EcommerceBytes Update newsletter. BigCommerce came in as the most highly rated by readers, followed by Amazon Webstore. Rounding out the top five were Zen Cart, Shopify, and PrestaShop.

EcommerceBytes asked readers to rate the online storefronts and shopping carts they use to host their ecommerce websites. The five services were rated highest overall among 22 storefront and shopping cart solutions. Merchants rated each on five criteria, and each was then given an overall score.

Note that the 2014 Sellers Choice survey included a related category, “Inventory Listing and Management Tools,” some of which power the ecommerce websites of merchants – results for that category will be published in a future issue.

As EcommerceBytes notes each year, online sellers have a vast choice in where they host their stores, so sellers should determine their needs and map them to the solutions as part of their vetting process when evaluating storefronts solutions and shopping carts.

See the full results, including comments left by readers about the services they use, published on the EcommerceBytes website.
