SE friendly shopping cart

Can someone reccommend a search engine friendly shopping cart, i.e. which produces static web pages. Something very customisable, written in php and using mySQL would be perfect.

TIA

Hmm, thats a good question. Maybe you should try conducting some searches in Google for "search engine friendly shopping cart." I personally use 1rst shopping cart, miva, and americart with mod rewrites on almost all the carts.

I did loads of searching, but it just resulted in the same site coming up with different domains. After about an hour of searching other forums, I came accross x-cart, a nice app which looks to be a winner!

well best of luck, the carts that i use on my servers are similiar to what egol was talking about with the exception of miva. miva will create you pages, but most shopping carts will spit out your code to place on your normal pages.

How do you like Miva?

miva was one of the first carts i had configured, and to be honest it was a dread full experience but rewording none the less.

miva pros:
lots of robust features including: affiliate service, inventory tracking, and the management admin side is very nice

miva cons:
not so seo friendly. pretty complicated to set up and configure if its your first time doing it!!!!

also not to mention the price, although, some hosting companies will waive the setup fee if you have their commerce account.

in the time that i spent configuring miva, i could have set up americart or 1rst shopping cart, an autoresponder, a message board forum, and web trends live.

read more about miva's features if you are interested:

My experience with Miva Merchant has been the opposite. It is excellent for the search engines if you know what you are doing and with the help of a few inexpensive modules. You could actually do quite well without any modules, but it makes the job easier. Just search Google for Miva Merchant and Google for an example.

I read an article somewhere about this search engine friendly shopping cart product. I have no experience with it at all, but just thought I would pass the info along.

Has anyone had any experience with SearchFit? I'm trying to decide between oscommerce and SearchFit. SearchFit claims to generate all static html pages as opposed to dynamic. It also creates meta tags for each product.

But I haven't heard anything about their reputation or if their customers are satisfied with their product.

Anyone know anything about this shopping cart?

As I know most PHP shopping carts are search engine friendly.

Very Search engine friendly. I know I built it.

We've just used it for our site (http://www.thefashionboutique.co.uk). You've got to stick to a particular type of layout but, if you're looking for a complete e-commerce program, it's one of the best on the market - apparently! It produces meta tags for each product/section and pages are html.

Their address is: http://www.actinic.co.uk/. Plus you can try before you buy.

All the best,

Hi

I have also heard of a developer of an SE friendly estore - I believe it is just called estore - its by Jamie Burns.
It has had some serious long term development and testing - I have spoken with him about this ecommerce estore.

It uses SE friendly URL stirngs it is sensibly structured it uses effective and configurable keywords - basicaly every on page aspect of SEO is customisable from an admin pannel. Providing that it is used well with someone who knows a bit about SEO then it can be realy useful.

Cheers
