Comparing hallelujahsquare/deeperShopping to Amazon, MusiChristian.com, BooksChristian.com & FamilyChristian.com
Amazon and these other services offer an affiliate model only. You dont get your own bookstore, you just get to earn commission from sales that you send to these services. Whats the difference? Well - at the end of the day who's business is it? Customers are a valuable commodity - and if you want to build up your own customer base, you need to have your own online solution - not just be a referral agency. We give you the tools to operate your OWN business. Yours, yours and all yours. You will appear to be a full service online site, and you can compete directly against Amazon, rather than just earn dribs an drabs in referral or affiliate fees!
Comparing hallelujahsquare/deeperShopping to Zen-cart or OSCommerce
ZenCart and OScommerce are great packages, but they dont come with inventory. You will have to load all your product definitions, load all your images up, keep track of inventory and categorize your products yourself. You will also need your own online credit card processor, and the programming skills to be able to install it and customize the code. You will also need to create and manage your MYSQL or Postgress SQL databases including doing all the backups. Finally you will need an internet hosting account on either a shared or dedicated server, which you can probably get for around $5 to $100 per month depending on your needs. You will need to manually process orders, and may be assessed drop ship fees from the major distributors. You will also need to open accounts at the standard Christian book distributors so that you can buy at trade. All in all, its not fast, and its not a turnkey solution.
