The platform is feature rich and flexible enough to be adapted to your own business requirements

You may have been offered an installation of an off-the-shelf ecommerce application to run your store. There are some very good options available such as Magento, osCommerce and Actinic. In some situations these solutions may be adequate for your business needs, but as your business grows over time you may find that these products become restrictive and expensive to modify.

Since we have decided that we will only offer our clients our own custom built ecommerce application, we are able to modify and extend the system to suit your needs, faster and cheaper than other software providers.

The Estore application is a continually evolving application with new features being added regularly. We're always happy to add new modules to the application so if you have bespoke requirements then please let us know.

The feature rich Estore platform offers the same level of functionality as many other ecommerce applications including:
