"CFWebstore costs $400 for a single license, to run a single
storefront.
This allows you to run a copy of the software on your
production server as
well as a copy on a development server. Each copy of
CFWebstore (for each
store) in use on your production server requires a license."
I prefer
http://www.cartweaver.com
where you buy it once (for less than
a 1 time site license for CFwebstore) and own it.
I doubt you've done much ecommerce development, if you did
you'd realize how rediclous your post is, maybe you're just a
troll, hmmm, or maybe you work for cartweaver bigger HHmmmm.
I'm going to assume this is a real poster and respond anyway.
Comparing Cartweaver to Cfwebstore is like comparing a pile
of bricks to a house, and a very nice house at that. I've worked
with about 6 different shopping carts over the years including
cfwebstore and cartweaver, and there is absoultely no comparision,
they shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. Our company
did a very detailed study of all avaliable solutions out there, and
we did this for weeks, to find the ultimate shopping cart.
Cfwebstore blows away cartweaver, actually it blows away just
about every other shoping cart out there that my ecommerce
development company has used.
$400 is nothing for what you get, you'll lose much more money
in trying to get a fraction of the features that cfwebstore has.
My company made the mistake years ago of spending thousand
and thousands of dollars of man hours to customize the opensource
shopping carts for clients to get it to do what they wanted.
Trust me the ROI with cfwebstore is huge. Go ahead buy
cartweaver, you'll quickly find out how tedious, time consuming and
expensive it is to customize a shopping cart can be to do the
typical complext things a real ecommerce site needs to do to run
efficently.
The backend user area is very usable in cfwebstore, this is
very imporant, as this is the biggest weakness in most shopping
cart systems, it has some many robust features that actually work I
can't even list them all.
Once you do your first ecommerce site you'll be back to buy
cfwebstore and not think twice about paying the realtively small
licence fee. Heck if you're so worried about money buy a reseller
licence which is $800 more then all your licences after that are
50% off! at $200/per site.
