I've never liked 1ShoppingCart - pricey and quite clunky for the cost. Used to take me 30 minutes just to find out how many Scanners Night tickets I'd sold! Moved to e-junkie for $5 a month and it's easier. E-junkie affiliate stuff is weak though so will check out that WP plugin you mention. Thanks for this post Sandra.

Once 1SC figured out that so many people needed the API key for Wishlist Member, they made that key available ONLY to those with a pro account. That was their first mistake! Fortunately, there are a few other options popping up here and there. One option that I may start recommending is the authorize.net plugin for WordPress. It's a one-time charge of $89 and it does the trick! You have to use something like aWeber with it then, but that's okay by me.

I've been researching options for a couple of my clients and had given up on 1SC a while back because I simply couldn't justify the cost for what I had in business and the service I got. A few months ago, I started review Office Autopilot and have had several discussions with their staff and a couple of very happy clients (ones who were previous Premium Webcart and InfusionSoft users). In fact, one of the folks I connected with had used InfusionSoft, then moved to Premium Webcart (he said their shopping cart was great and was horrified by his customer service, or lack of it actually). I don't now if you're familiar with it (yes, I am an affiliate AND this isn't an affiliate link!). http://officeautopilot.com Although upon an initial look at the pricing table, you would think they only have a package comparable to InfusionSoft, below you'll see a price chart that shows the pricing from their "baby" package (SendPepper) all the way up through their big kahuna: Office Autopilot. I've told them I think they're doing themselves an injustice by not having the pricing structure visible from their home page. http://wiki.sendpepper.com/w/page/16309374/SendPepper%20vs%20OfficeAutopilot They just released a full membership module and did the demo yesterday (which I missed, darn it). FYI, I'm a fellow geekette and get into this stuff way too much sometimes (smile). One of the reasons I'm seriously considering this tool is because the "baby" versions actually the big kahuna with features turned off. Which makes it much easier to stay with the same platform as you grow (unless I'm missing something). Many blessings and thanks so much for such great info!

I've used aweber on my MAc with no issues. I wonder what it was. Maybe the browser or browser settings. Thanks for the share as always! Thanks Susan. I’ve used aweber on my MAc with no issues.

Now I'm not sure if I got special treatment, don't think so BUT RedOakCart told me, when I convert over they will HELP with the conversion. Meaning, they will import for me! How terrific is THAT. RedOakCart is looking better and better. Oh I MUST update you all.

It got so bad I was avoiding sending out emails. That's when I knew I had to switch. I really love MailChimp. For new businesses and those with small lists, MailChimp offers their service for free up to 2000 subscribers.

I too am very disappointed with 1SC and have been with them for many years and actually have not been happy with them for a while so this is a good time to do some research on other options. I was also recommended by a couple of people who use and love it, to check out premium web cart and from what I've seen so far it has everything and more that 1 SC has with a variety of price choices. I am getting my VA to check it out further since technology is not my strength and I will also have her look into some of the options you have suggested. Many thanks. Have a great weekend Blessings Hazel Hi Sandra,
