This month the people at Astrosell are offering Internet Magazine readers special offers on their e-commerce software.

• The FREE version of Astrosell Small Store provided on this CD is limited to 20 product items and will expire on 31/10/03. The program has a normal RRP of £120. (See below for installation...)

  Small Store has everything necessary to design and publish a simple Internet shopping site, and to receive and process orders. All templates are in HTML, so can be viewed in any Web editing application. For maximum simplicity you can use the wizard to guide you through the entire process of setting up your store. Buttons, drop-down lists and links are automatically generated.

  Various shipping and taxation systems can be set up, and two currencies can be displayed against products. Astrosell has many automated email functions, both to inform customers and to alert the store manager. Being in competition with Actinic Catalog, it comes as no surprise to find the ability to import product data from Catalog versions 3, 4 and 5. Export of data within Astrosell to txt or CSV files is also available.

  Astrosell Small Store provides two secure methods to collect payment details through the Web: Astrosell's bank approved 128bit security and use of online Credit Card providers.

• Astrosell Professional v2.5 is being made available to Internet Magazine readers at only £250 (ex VAT) – that's a huge saving of £129 (ex VAT). The professional version ships on a CD ROM with a printed manual and 30-day telephone support (you will also receive free minor updates as they are released).

  To order Astrosell Professional and take advantage of this Special Offer, simply phone at Astrosell on 0870 746 1805 saying that you are phoning about the offer in the November issue of Internet Magazine and quote the reference 'IM Astrosell Upgrade'.

  Astrosell Professional has various additional features beyond those in Small Store. It is aimed at Web designers or developers who want to produce a fully customised e-commerce site, yet it is still easy to use. Professional offers three choices of taking payment over the Internet: in addition to bank approved 128bit security and use of online Credit Card providers as included in the Small Store version, there is the SSL (secure server) option.

  You also get the ability to set up an unlimited number of sections and enter an unlimited number of products. The Professional version allows you to design your own templates or modify the ones given; there are more import options; there are generally many more customisation options, including of reports and order handling.
