One Month Free Trial! ProStores - an eBay Company

PC Magazine Editors' Choice winner StoreSense, an online shopping merchant application, morphed into eBay ProStores (www.prostores.com) when the online auction powerhouse acquired Kurant in January 2005. ProStores 6.0 is a complete solution for merchants who need more flexibility than eBay Stores provides. It offers automated step-by-step store creation for beginners and more advanced design tools for the experienced

Online stores can be extremely lucrative, but creating one can be a nightmare. ProStores provides the best tools and documentation we've seen so far for the task. The most recent versions have added a bunch of useful new features, including integration with eBay Express and enhanced search-engine and shopping-site integration, Dreamweaver extensions, multiple shippers in the shopping cart, and improved store management. Version 7.2 builds on the existing integration with eBay; the two can share listings, inventory management, and a shopping cart.

ProStores' target audience is SMBs with annual revenues of $200,000 to $5 million, though it may be attractive to some e-commerce novices and experienced online store owners. Certainly the price is within just about anyone's reach: For $29.95 a month (plus a 0.5-percent successful-transaction fee), you get terrific tools for creating and maintaining a store, 5GB of storage, a data transfer allowance of 50GB per month, and a domain name.

Assembling an online store is a complex process, but ProStores makes it easy. Would-be shopkeepers can design their sites using one of three Wizard-driven tools. Beginners and basic store owners can use the Design Wizard, which offers 183 varied and skillfully built prefab templates in several categories, including eBay Store Styles, Professional, and Retail. The Wizard here helps you determine what will appear on your site and how it will look. More advanced users can enhance their existing store using HTML. And the Macromedia Dreamweaver extension is available for the most sophisticated users. You can also use your own home page as your storefront.

Next, the Wizard walks you through developing your product descriptions and categories, and displays options for payment (you can set up payment via major credit cards, PayPal , check/money order, all through one centralized provider). Other tasks you'll need to do include uploading images, selecting your shipping options (USPS, UPS, FedEx, UPS Worldship, and PayPal USPS), and specifying your sales tax. Changes since 6.0 have been more in terms of substance than style, though there are new tools for getting started. Wizards make all of these processes quite easy, and the getting-started checklist ensures that you've completed all the steps you intend to.

Once you've designed and populated your site, you'll spend most of your time in the site's dashboard, the Store Administration page. Here, you can easily access information about your store and its products, customers, orders and shipping, and support. This is a great roadmap through a complicated route; it guides you through generating reports and listing your items on eBay and other shopping sites such as Shopzilla, Yahoo!, and Shopping.com.

At the Store Administration page, you can also download and set up StoreSync, ProStores' integration with QuickBooks (which isn't easy). StoreSync stations itself in Internet Explorer, and lets you move customer lists and inventory information from QuickBooks into ProStores, and transfer sales data back into QuickBooks. It can be a time-saving utility, but it requires a lot of prep work and manual synchronizations.

ProStores also automates your search-engine optimization (SEO) tasks; it does some basic tuning of pages and provides plenty of tips for further optimization. There's nothing groundbreaking in terms of SEO—the experienced webmaster will know to do most of these things (and how to do them), but beginners will appreciate having them all pulled together into one place.

Three other subscription levels exist. Express ($6.95/month) allows two customizable pages and up to ten items, eBay integration, and a shopping cart/PayPal payments. Advanced ($74.95/month) adds more advanced inventory management, merchandising and promotions, and sales of services, subscriptions, and downloadable content. And Enterprise ($249.95/month) tacks on more sophisticated supplier integration, sales lead-tracking and affiliate programs, and "buyer groups" that display specific content and pricing.

Good tools aside, online store creation and maintenance are still daunting tasks. ProStore makes it as easy and affordable as anyone.
