 Getting ready to buy X-Cart- FREE Advice
Which version?
Version 4.1 has just been released, but unless you fancy being a guinea pig for a while then our advice is to wait until it is stable, secure and bug free. Stick with v4.0.18 for now which took around 9 months to get to this stable state, unless there is a feature of 4.1 you really must have. But we have worked with X-cart since the days of v3 and based on this and any new software, there is always a period of time before all the bugs have been worked out. The good news is that lots of other people will be using v4.1 and finding the problems on our behalf and we suggest leaving them to do this and getting on board when X-cart and the community deem it to be stable.
Hosting X-cart
Well you are going to need somewhere to "host" your shop. X-cart is a complicated bit of software so it needs the right environment. Don't let that put you off, just choose a host with experience in x-cart and with good support. Hopefully you haven't just jumped in and chosen one of the "big boys" out of a magazine. If you have, you probably have 30 day money back - use it now and find someone who will give your shop the support its needs - this is not a standard website, but something much more involved.

General
OK, that has to be said first, as many people don't consider it until it is too late. Yes, X-Cart is complicated at times, but it is worth it. Lots of features and very usable. The great thing about X-Cart is you are going to be using a popular product that has been around a few years. This means it is well tested, so you are benefiting from the feedback of all the customers of all the shops out there. So if there is a question or a problem, you can be sure that it has been covered before. The answers can usually be found in the forum, from X-Cart support or directly from developers like ourselves. Because of this support network, which no other product can boast, you will be online with complete peace of mind. The key is knowing when to ask for help, as ploughing a lone furrow is just costing you money in your time and lost sales.
Installation
Once you have bought your software and hosting package, don't forget you can ask us to install it for you. If you are experienced and confident with internet software then you should be OK, however, if setting file permissions such as "777" and "755" and configuring databases is all new to you, you may want to leave it to a professional. We can take care of this for you for around £28 / $50 / 41€ / 67 AUD. Your Next Step...
