Why Buy?
One downside to hosted solutions is that they don't usually offer as much flexibility as carts that you purchase and maintain on your own (or a web host's) servers.
Because you don't have access to the software's code, if your store requires unusual features that don't arrive out of the box, making necessary changes can be difficult.
Merchants merchant services partnership with more technical expertise may appreciate having the control over their ecommerce software that purchased software provides.
The Best of Both Worlds
Some ecommerce software companies offer both hosted and purchased ecommerce solutions for a variety of merchants and developers. Before choosing your online shop builder, consider where you weigh in on the SAAS debate? Will you prefer the ease of hosted solutions or the control of purchased ecommerce?
