Hello,

I already have a retail e-commerce store setup. The store holds customer information, inventory count, and customer orders/invoices.

My store does not keep track of inventory costs or any financial data. Did i choose the wrong shopping cart. Is there an ecommerce solution that handles all this?

I am thinking I need quick books or microsoft money. I was also considering goldime or act to keep track of email.

What I dont want to do is be entering customer data 2 or 3 times. I noticed quickbooks does invoicing but my store already sends the customer an invoice. If I dont invoice the customers using quickbooks will it still keep track of money??

I need to be able to see how much money the business is spending and how much is coming in. I can already list all the orders and customers in the store. Also sometimes they pay with paypal and sometimes i charge they credit card. Then there are the merchant fees that I have to keep track of.

This is really confusing and I dont know what software I should purchase.

It would be nice to sync the data with my store but it seems like it would be a lot of work to get that working properly. My store is hosted at an outside hosting company using an access database.

How does everyone else tackle this? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kurt

You only picked the wrong one if you need / want those extras. So many people pick the wrong one in the beginning because of price or simplicity.

You might looking around at a few companies that offer shopping carts - maybe give them the layout of your access database and see if they can import it into another database using a different shopping cart
