Greetings!

One of our clients wishes to sell tangible products online.
We are using Clickbank which is for digital products only.

A search on the web leads us to one (1) possible candidate:
glocart at http://www.glocart.com . We would like
to know if anyone of you has any experience with them.
How are they doing so far (in terms of performance, payment, etc).

Aside from Glocart, do you have other suggestions?
What we want is a free signup (no activation fee),
can accept credit card payments, and good for selling tangible items online.

It would be nice if they also have an affiliate program
so that we can refer them if we like their service.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

If you're looking for a simple one that's free you could look at Mal's E-commerce I suppose. Not much to it though, but I think you can sell pretty much anything through that.

Hello!

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked Mal's e-commerce.
Cool tool, but probably an option later.

Sorry. I did not specify that I need a solution with
no merchant account needed. That means, I need a
3rd party solution which can process online payments
for me (card payment or check payment) and send
me a regular check or wire it to my bank account.

I need something that is available internationally also.
And remember, I prefer no setup fee. I cannot use
Paypal (checked that already) because my country is
not supported.

By the way, I recently come across with Verza at
http://www.verza.com. Do you think it's a
good service too? I am more inclined on using glocart,
http://www.glocart.com/ though.


Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Chicken

Does it have to allow *both* checks and card processing? Also I'm not certain which ones allow what countries, but what about the usual suspects...

http://orderbutton.net
http://www.revecom.com (check and card at least)
http://www.2checkout.com

etc. ???

2checkout has a (low) startup fee, but that's probably something you can't avoid. 2checkout does support tangible goods. They even support a way to calculate shipping costs. And track a shipment(not sure about this one).

But they have a nice service.

Too bad their sales report in the admin area isn't real time anymore, at least for me it's falling behind a few days, then it updates and again falls behind again. It should be easy to process the data real time.
