Some are FREE and some are not FREE.
I like to know if someone test one of them. And i like to know the difference between them and AbanteCart.
The problem is also AbanteCart doesn't have lot of video for support.

Well, I can't recommend any of the others, as I'm 100% sold on AbanteCart. As you stated, some of those are paid services and the free ones don't compare at all to AbanteCart.

As for video, are you looking to put video in your store or are you selling videos?

As I stated, AbanteCart is your best choice, there really isn't another free open source cart out there that compares.

No, i'm looking for TUTO video about AbanteCart to know: *How to download AbanteCart in local host *How to download in any hosting *How to secure website with SSL * How to modify layouts *Add/remove or modify category or product *Modify the background.......etc and more.

In youtube, i didn't find more help like the others.

I see and I don't think there is much video help. There is a lot of written How-to here http://docs.abantecart.com/pages/install/installation_options.html and here http://docs.abantecart.com

Both of these sources are invaluable and loaded with information.

I just download & install the AbanteCart 1.2.1 with the default template. It's working well. I like added another free template 2 (V1.8.1) but it's not working.

My question, because i like the layout of template 2 about categories in left column. When i choose categories to add in left column, i have 4 categories by line including the pictures.

Do you have any idea to create a new block for to add categories in the left column.

Thanks.

Hi.

Login to your Admin panel then locate Design-Blocks section http://docs.abantecart.com/pages/design/blocks/search.html
On the blocks page click to create new block and select Data Listing block type.
On block page seclect Categories and save
The last step is enable new block in Design-Layouts section

Hello, always i'm waiting your help  .
No body used Categories in Vertical !

I need to resolve this problem a soon as possible to continue my project and maybe i will have other questions after.
And when i will finish with my local website, i need to search after the best company for hosting my website and also i need to know how to pass from localhost to real hosting.

I didn't find another website or forum with a lot AbanteCart Tuto, only your website.It's not yet very popular like prestashop.

Please, for some who already have an e-commerce website with AbanteCart, can you give your link and also, do you find a problem after, and what about the security ?

Thanks.
