Cost

I do not think it is a good idea to put the cost on the page. 1) prices change, who will keep this list up to date 2) prices for other countries will be different (exchange rates and local taxes). Wikipedia is not a US only site. --triwbe (talk) 13:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with triwbe. Also I question the utility of a list filled entirely of "no"s, like the last 3 on the page. -FrankTobia (talk) 19:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_(PHP) has pricing on and this is a similar page. -Craigbrass (talk) 08:04, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

that doesn't mean a thing WP:WAX. That article may also need changing then. --triwbe (talk) 07:06, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pricing allows the user to view one of the key details if they are to use this page as a comparison. --Craigbrass (talk) 17:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I'm not so sure about the pricing information anymore, but my concern about the "no"-filled tables still stands. On the other hand, I do want to laud Craigbrass for his hard work on this article. I find his diligence rather impressive. -FrankTobia (talk) 04:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. I think it shows clear areas where carts could be improved.--Craigbrass (talk) 14:23, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have added spaces for features to be entered into now (phew, that took a while!). I have set all to No for now. I should be able to slowly populate them in the next few weeks when I get time but feel free anyone else who wants to lend a hand! --Craigbrass (talk) 14:34, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AgoraCart

How and why did AgoraCart get left out of this comparison? This article has been extremely helpful in comparing the software offerings listed however my webhosting service defaults to AgoraCart which has been around for quite a while yet is barely mentioned only in the comparison of web hosting control panels article. Could I get a little help here?

Is this encyclopedic?

I have had this discussion in another AFD comparing software, and I am not sure this article fits policy. The products listed are not every product made, thus indescriminate, As each new version comes out, the old data is obsoleted (comparing hardware doesn't have this issue), which flies in the face of notability isn't temporary. Listing "features" is problematic as one product may be the only one to have it, and they all have thousands of features, so how can you draw the line? If each product is notable on its own, then let it have an article. This looks too much like a shopping guide to shopping carts AND something a magazine should do, NOT an encyclopedia. Yes, similar software comparison articles exist, I just haven't gotten to them yet. I need some rationale to avoid AFD. Because this isn't properly inline cited, it also borders on original research PHARMBOY (TALK) 16:07, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interspire Shopping Cart already 4.0

Hello, I came across this article and noticed that Interspire Shopping Cart is still listed as 3.6 although it is currently now on version 4.0 and I see that it now has many of the features it was missing. I am not one for editing but I thought I would put the word up for anyone else that is helping maintain this page. Cheers. (70.112.241.85 (talk) 01:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Magento

Hello, I've noticed that one of the (quite popular) shopping carts called Magento is not included on the list.
