Cloud solutions

Cloud solutions are web shopping cart systems. The premise of these solutions is that, as a user, you do not have to think about installing and hosting the software. This could represent a cost to hire a developer for the installation part or you could do it yourself. So cloud solutions are, ready to go shopping carts. You create your account, add your products, set up your shipping, setup your payment methods and you can easily shop online. These systems are targeted to the majority of users and thus, have all the basic functionalities that would help you to set up your online store.

Self-hosted solutions

Self-hosted solutions provide you with a complete array of merchant shopping cart. They provide innumerable amounts of features and they allow you to implement your own feature. A slight downside to this system would be that if you wish to implement certain complex feature, you might have to hire a developer to work on the shop. Some solutions providers now make it easier to install and run those systems.
