The shopping cart features that you now might need or will eventually need as your business grow may come at a higher price.

One of the most important compatibility issues to consider is the compatibility with your hosting service. When hosting a web site with a particular hosting company you will often be given the choice of using a Windows based system or a Linux based system. You cannot choose both for the same web site. Many shopping cart software systems are only compatible with one operating system or another. These systems are designed or optimized for a specific operating system. This will limit the choice of hosting companies that you can use. QCCart is designed not to have this problem.
