Editor's review
osCommerce 5-in-One package includes 5 available product feed packages developed by MagneticOne for osCommerce shopping cart. You will get maximum exposure, listing your products in 5 major Shopping Comparison engines.
Pros: This application helps you provide feeds to 5 different comparison shopping portals. This works in conjunction with osCommerce shopping cart package from the same publisher. You get maximum exposure and that helps drive traffic to your commerce site. The engines are Google Base, Froogle, Shopping.com / DealTime.com, Shopzilla.com / BizRate.com and Generic RSS. The package is easy to configure and use. It supports multiple language as well as multiple currencies. You could set the currency to be used at the time of export. Export selected categories if you want. The application helps you include/exclude products that are “out of stock”, with zero price or zero quantity. Set a default shipping cost if that is convenient to you. Product names and product descriptions can be stripped off when exporting. You are able to customize the export file name and set inline text recommendations for quick initial configuration. Actual feed upload is helped by built in FTP. One can equally easily upload the feeds by e-mails. To make the upload easier, you use GZIP compression fro reducing the sizes of the feed files.
If you’d like to add additional live product feed URL options, for XML feeds can be validated by the application. Most standard compliant SEO friendly URL modules are supported. The application also lets you store the feeds on a server of your own. Third party sales channel tracking via Google Analytics, WebTrends, OneStat, 123LogAnalyzer, Netmining etc are done as is click tracking/ROI tracking.
Cons: No particular problem noticed.
Overall the package is very useful and quite easy to use. It is rated at 4 stars.
