Q & A with Will English:
Will received the following email inquiry from a business owner who wants to integrate his website with his QuickBooks Point of Sale (QBPOS) for inventory control.
Hi. I came across your posts on QuickBooks POS e-commerce integration.
I'm looking to integrate my website with QuickBooks POS for inventory control and have looked at eCC, T-Hub, IA Modules and PDG.
My question is, which would you say is best for running multiple web storefronts? We currently have a wholesale business and would like to expand to retail. I would like to integrate store QuickBooks POS, wholesale and retail websites for inventory control, and preferably in real time. Although I have a website now, I'll probably start from scratch once I pick out which QBPOS integration system to use.I would really appreciate your opinion.
Will’s reply: So there are many answers to this question, depending on your needs.
eCC doesn't do as many carts at T-hub but has better support and technology. PDG uses only their cart so it won't work for multiple storefronts. IA modules is a hosted solution and I don't think they support more carts than that. If you want to look at hosted solutions, check out Modern Retail. By the way, I’m not sure what you are doing with your Wholesale business, but we rep a product called ACCTivate that handles ecommerce, EDI, etc, etc. I will be more than happy to discuss with you.
Client response: To simplify my question, what is the best program to use for multiple storefronts with QuickBooks POS integration? Our wholesale is actually more like a retail just with minimum purchase requirements so any shopping cart is sufficient. I just would like to have multiple storefronts to run retail as well.
Will: I would choose eCC and align with the storefronts it supports.
