It uses many of the features of ShopSite Mananger, but does not generate HTML pages or manipulate any graphics. HTML link code is copied from Express and pasted into standard Web pages. Good if the merchant knows HTML, or doesn't need to change products often. Inexpensive but limited. ShopSite Manager is very convenient for the small merchant with 5 to 400 products.
Program provides powerful backoffice capabilities.
Beyond 400 products Manager is more unwieldy though functional. Larger stores into the low thousands of products can be managed easily using ShopSite Pro using the built-in database upload feature. Products with several thousand products may need to be hosted in-house, as well. Fairly expensive, but scalable to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of products. ISPs charge only a monthly rate.
