Cartfly named Official Shopping Cart of Perfspot.com




Cartfly.com is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Perfspot.com, the "world's fastest growing social network" according to a recent article in Forbes Magazine. Every Perfspot user will have instant store-building capability from directly within their admin section. New stores will publish directly into their SN profiles. It's a great example of our new integration kit for existing third party applications. Perfspot.com has experienced tremendous growth with more than 30,000 users on average signing up daily.

“We’re thrilled to be associated with Perfspot and are looking forward to growing with them to provide customized and secure shopping carts for all of their users,” said Bob Schober, President of Ustrive Inc.

Featured Review by KillerStartups



"Cartfly is an e-commerce blogging tool you can use to set up a free mini-ecommerce store from your blog, site or social networking websites. If you have something to sell and a Paypal account, you are already halfway there, setting up an account on Cartfly couldn’t be made easier. Each individual cartfly shop widget comes with a sharecode, ratings and feedback you can use to get visibility and comments on your product. Best of all, this is all completely fee."

"This is a great tool, considering it could make anyone with a product, a social network or blog and a PayPal account part of the millions that reap the benefits of e-commerce."

Merchant Credibility and Ratings



Cartfly.com now offers each individual merchant a rating and feedback system with every store created! We realized it was important for our sellers to provide a comfortable online buying experience. After searching endlessly, we were completely thrilled to find Rapleaf.com. Their services and platform are exceptional. A ratings and feedback section is now integrated directly into each cartfly store. Rapleaf ratings also travel along with every replicated or shared store anywhere on the web. Credibility is critical for any online merchant. It was great to find a rating system that avoided user manipulation. Our sellers deserve an accurate reputation not easily swayed with a few biased opinions.

The Rapleaf team has spent a lot of time refining their algorithms to prevent gaming, as fraud is one of their top concerns. They also provide information beyond ratings, such as social networks and profile stats.

"Cartfly is an exciting service and we look forward to watching them grow! They’re definitely filling a niche market."

Private Labeling and Third Party Integration

We'd like to announce that Cartfly Technology is now available for private labeling and third party integration into existing social networks, web communities, etc. For now, the Cartfly Integration Kit is on a per request basis but will eventually open up. This type of integration will come with additional private labeling and branding. Large user generated communities will now have the opportunity to provide an entire user base with an e-commerce tool dircectly from every user's profile.

'User Defined' Product Options

Since our recent launch we have had numerous inquiries regarding product options for our merchant's inventory. An interesting thing about the feedback was that almost every merchant was asking for a different option or variable. We took everyone's feedback and put some serious thought into a solution. We wanted to give users a broad options tool that could be used for almost anything!

Thanks to our speedy development team, every Cartfly merchant now has 'user defined' options. This feature allow users to quickly define multiple product options and values for extremely specific items. Every product can have multiple options and related drop down values. We'll be enhancing this feature even more over time.
