I am interested in offering Soholaunch as an ecommerce solution.
Is it any good as a shop?
Does it work with a shared ssl certificate?

The answer to both your questions is yes. Frankly, they ought to market it as a cart/ CMS solution. There is no other solution I can think of that allows a user to drag and drop a store item anywhere they want and have it instantly linked into a full cart and backend.

I think they're marketing it correctly as a "Site Builder" but I would agree that it's drag & drop feature is so easy to use, I think all novice computer users can figure it out. Perhaps, Soholaunch should emphasize the shopping cart feature a little more as one of its main features.

True enough. Wasn't proposing one or the other. Sure enough its a sitebuilder but its also a decent cart and could stand on that as well.

Well you better get youself a demo acct, 1st.
I had (and still have) SL ecommerce and its ok as long as you use Versign and maybe 1-2 other gateways.
Any other gateway you must supply the code yourself (kinda odd that this is a sitebuilder that most newbies would use).

Now maybe this has change lately,as its been a apx 1 yr since I installed this.
Its just a very limited product with support that always replies
" that will be available in the next release" which never seems happen.

I finally just blew it off as a "learning investment."

Its not a limited product. Its a young product like every other sitebuilder on the market and incidentally if its limited then every other sitebuilder on the marklet is stunted because not a one has integrated ecommerce except Soholaunch. Its just a fact of life that most carts start out with a few gateways and add as they go along. I don't know of a single cart that didn't start out that way.

Newbie's always need help with merchant account, gateways etc. The ones who don't are usually using the ever popular but hated paypal (which is included in Soholaunch for better or worse). Its amusing to see the feature of being able to add your own code as a negative. This kind of open approach is welcome elsewhere and the idea is that the provider can build their own gateway right into it. Granted as I said I'd like to see a greater emphasis on the cart.

The idea that they say its in the next release and it never comes is utterly false. Averaged out releases come almost monthly. Bearing in mind that the cart is but one module among many I suppose it still does not suffice for some but like it or not if you want to drag and drop a product on any page and have it ready to go its way out front for a sitebuilder and yes even for a easily setup cart although you will not find everything in a mature cart in Soholaunch.
