About Mal’s E-commerce
Mal’s E-commerce – www.Mals-e.com – is said to be the world’s favorite FREE shopping cart service! Making it simple to add a shopping cart to your website. Escape from the limitations of traditional store builder software, just add Buy Now buttons to your existing product pages and start taking orders straight away.
To speak openly, Mal’s is an amazing eCommerce shopping cart. Its simplicity is what helps it stand apart from other larger eCommerce platforms. Although there are just a few features that are not free, Mal’s can be a great fit for most businesses looking to sell online, including those who think they might expand their product line later on. One of the most notable features is the easy to manage built-in mTracker Affiliate code.
A couple notes to mention about Mal’s is the way in which it is setup and configured. It is not like a traditional eCommerce platform / Content Management System that requires installation, MySQL, upgrades, etc. It does not work like that – it works in a way that requires you to manually enter most code into a website – sort of a Plug ‘n Play system. In many cases, this has shown to be a huge plus for its flexibility and low maintenance. There are also two versions of Mal’s, a Free and low cost Premium version which can be compared below.

Is Mal’s Right For My Business?
When choosing an eCommerce platform, a little planning goes a long way and can help you find the correct platform. To know which eCommerce is best for your online business, you should consult an eCommerce expert (like us) who can carefully review your requirements, desired features, shipping methods, payment methods, and more. Once this is done, you can analyze the pros and cons to several of the best choices. What you should do is right down your requirements, desired features, and special or unique transaction methods. Then, contact us for a FREE Price Quote and FREE Online Consultation. We would be happy to help you find the best e-Commerce solution for you. Choosing the correct e-Commerce platform or shopping cart is vital to your business. Finding out later on that you are using the wrong eCommerce for your business can cost time, money, loss of sales or worse.
