Interspire is preparing to launch a new shopping cart named StoreSuite in Q4 2007.   Co-founder Mitchell Harper has done it again.  After launching SendStudio and ArticleLive, Mitch plans on this being his next big hit.  This new cart is designed to support both physical and digital sales. 

I currently run a store at www.CaseandTote.com and find the intricacies of X-Cart to be fairly complex.  It also takes a number of days to get support.  It sounds like one of the nicest options will be the ability to drag and drop the panels where you want them to be.  The current quality of my page and the layouts just don’t seem to pop like I would like them to.  I am hoping this has been addressed in the StoreSuite version.

The StoreSuite software is particularly geared toward small and medium size companies.  They also boast and extensive tracking and inventory management system and accepts all major payment gateways.

Currently they are offering a free beta version to the first 100 people that do a write up on this product.  I will be happy to give a review after we’ve integrated it into one of our sites.
