It’s good to hear you're already in the e-commerce eco system and we hope you have been doing well online. Any e-commerce site that does well online and starts out with an entry level SAS (software as service) solution is bound to eventually out grow it and will need an upgraded platform.

There are many e-commerce platforms and service providers out their; many have strengths and weakness and some are considered better than others but the industry standard is generally to either provide e-commerce solutions as a SAS (software as service) or sell a platform that you can customize to your need (e-commerce platform). Simrun offers both the option for you to use our platform in your own infrastructure or use our e-commerce subscription services to host and maintain your e-commerce site. While we don’t claim to be the best (E-commerce software can reach into the millions of dollars), we can say for the SMB market we offer the most features and the best results.

Almost no e-commerce provider such as Yahoo, Volusion, Americart, BigCommerce excreta would ever consider modifying their core system for a customer because you’re seen as 1 out of a thousand and it’s not worth the hassle the deal with your Particular Needs. This is not so with us, we’ll work with you on ANYTHING you need and try to keep the price very reasonable so that deploying the feature you’re looking for won’t break your bank account.

The best way to answer that is to answer the most common question customers have that are in your position:

Will I be able to modify this software to my needs and wishes?

Absolutely, you can have Simrun modify the source code for you, or you can hire you own programmers and developers to change the software as you see fit (source code is required.)

Can I completely change anything I desire or am I going to be stuck with whatever my new provider gives me? I’m not talking about just changing template designs.

We hear you, our e-commerce solutions are CUSTOM built, and our developers can change anything from head to toe. Don’t believe us? Check out our live sites, they look nothing alike because when you have access to the source code you can do anything. Join Simrun and we’ll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Who owns the website info? I mean really, do I have access to all of my customers information including their usernames and passwords so if I want to move I can have everything?

You do, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. EVERY SAS vendor will fight you tooth and nail and NOT give your registered user information such as passwords so that means you have to re-register everyone all over again! With us, you can take your entire database and software code and host it wherever you please. If you want to take your site offline for a couple of months and start it back up again, you can do that too. Simrun gives you the option of both owning your platform or using our subscription to pay monthly, you can also upgrade your subscription to ownership at ANY time.

Can I buy my site’s software and take it with me wherever I want which includes hosting it where ever I please?

Yes, you can host it wherever you please and no you’re not stuck with us, please see the answer to the above question for more detail.

Does it cost more to use Simrun? I’m used to paying my small monthly amounts.

Well yes & no. If all your looking for is a comparable solution to what you had earlier with the option of owning / changing things in the future then you’ll be paying much, much less. On Average we give you 4x-5x times more hosting specs (bandwidth & space) and far more features (scroll below to see features & advanced features) for the same price you’re probably paying now.

When you're ready for a custom solution, we can really take your site to the next level and have it custom built for you with one of our implementation levels. Custom implementations WILL cost more but you get a one of a kind website that has features your competitors won't. With custom implementation levels We can tailor your layout, customer shopping experience, checkout, and even integrate it with your existing accounting / back-office systems. So regardless of which path you decide to take with us, you have the most options available to you and you'll always be in charge of your budget.

What about a 15 day trial?

Why 15 days, how about a whole year! Or maybe 2 Years!? You can download and install a trial version of our software and run it for as long as you like(Please note: see the system requirements). Or give us a ring and we’ll let you play with our demo site for as long as you need to in order to make a decision. 

	Attributes make product descriptions easier to read and your products easier to find.		Quickshop is a virtual shopping list so your customers don’t forget to buy intended items.
	Power search & product filtering allow your customer to find products faster than ever before by allowing them to choose how they want to browse your inventory.		Let your customers know what their shipping total is as they add items to their cart so they won’t be surprised when they go to checkout.
	Product Compare allows your customers to quickly select the best suited item in situations where there are similar items.		When one wish list won’t do, give your customers the option to add to another one for different occasions or item types.
	Ajax Cart is the fastest way to add items to your cart while keeping your customers focus on shopping.		Shipping Calendars allow customers to know when their item will be shipped and when they can expect them to arrive.
	Smart Search will auto correct spelling errors, display relevant results & display result as users search for products.

And remember, as a custom e-commerce solution provider, if there is something you need to have added, it can be added very easily with relatively low cost (other cart vendors simply won’t modify their systems will charge you an and arm and a leg for it).
