If you can live with those restrictions or if your own intended e-commerce site already is based on NT and CyberCash or Authorize.net, then ECware is worth checking out, especially for ISPs or resellers who need a powerful platform for implementing multiple stores at a single site. In terms of an e-commerce system, you wouldn't ask for more in basics if you were building the ideal system from the ground up. When you make changes in the database, these changes are reflected automatically in the dynamic pages. In addition, you can configure the system to receive C.O.D., check payments, purchase orders, or wire transfers.
Remote administration is performed from a secure connection via Web browser.
All site configurations can be performed remotely, including product updates, discounts and special offers, memberships, and order management. You can specify the parameters of the look and feel of the site, applying values for font color, background color, background file and color, border pattern and color, the width of the border, and the currency symbol. In addition, you can apply settings to order pages and add fields to order pages. In many ways, this is perhaps the most impressive part of the package, because the level of control available remotely is more than adequate for most tasks. The control over taxation and shipping is not as robust as we'd like, however.
