Viart Shop is a comprehensive e-Commerce application that is recommended by The Online Shop Designer (TOSD) for businesses who want to sell online to both retail and wholesale customers. In addition it has features that are not common in many other eCommerce applications. Here is a brief overview:
- Fully featured Shopping Cart with all the usual features
- Shopping Basket with advanced Sales Mechanisms (Product reviews and ratings, Product Discounting mechanism, Shipping and Stock mechanisms, etc)
- Web-based Administration with Order Maintenance, Product Maintenance, User/Shopper Maintenance, Vendor Maintenance, multiple payment processing capabilities (including support of Verisign, Paypal and Authorize.net payment systems) and flexible shipping options.
- An integrated CMS that enables the administrator to create an unlimited number of informational pages in support of the shop.
- Comprehensive articles facility (News, Events, FAQs, Links, Knowledgebase)
- Support for downloadable products.
- On site advertising with administration facilities.
- Help desk (optional)

Clients often ask me which is the best option: Prestashop or Viart Shop. In general my advice is for straightforward retail applications Prestashop is an excellent choice, however for more demanding applications that may require a fully fledged helpdesk or integrated forum Viart Shop is an excellent choice.
