Right now I'm paying for the basic plan with 1ShoppingCart which includes it's autoresponder & shopping cart services.

I'm considering switching my autoresponder service to aweber and am looking for recommendations of alternatives to using 1ShoppingCart to sell my products & services.

I obviously need the autoresponder service and shopping cart service to integrate together so when I sell a product or service to somebody that's not on my list that they are added to my list on aweber if I switch to it.

What do other people recommend to use with aweber to sell products & services?

What kinds of products do you sell? Digital or physical? I've been looking at Digital Access Pass, which is primarily a membership script, but has a rudimentary shopping cart as well. It doesn't track inventory (yet - the developer says he's working on it), but for what I need it will work just fine. What I like about it is that it's a one-time purchase as opposed to a monthly fee, and it integrates with Aweber. (I also looked seriously at Amember, but that one requires an added plugin to work with Aweber.)

Or you could go with just a very simple solution and use PayPal's shopping cart. It will integrate with Aweber using an email parser. I've never done it, but I hear it works.

Actually, now that I look at it, Aweber has a parser for 1ShoppingCart, too. You can see the list here: http://www.aweber.com/faq/questions/570/What+Services+Can+I+Integrate+With+AWeber%3F

Thanks Cindy for your reply.

Currently I only have digital products to sell.

If I use PayPal to sell my products & services I think I'd have to upgrade to PayPal Pro so that anybody that purchases from me will be added to my list. I looked into this a while ago and that's what I remember them telling me.

Since aweber interfaces with 1ShoppingCart I might just switch autoresponders from 1ShoppingCart to aweber and keep the shopping cart part of 1ShoppingCart.

Unless anybody else reading this post has another suggestion.
