14StoresOnline Testimony
- "It would have been 1,000 times more difficult if
StoresOnline hadn't come along. We have 15 pages
with Network Solutions still sitting out there
that we will never use. We had already been in
that struggle for a year and didn't know where to
go next. With StoresOnline we were able to do the
whole thing-the whole shopping cart-do our own
ordering rules and set it up the way we wanted
to." - Diana Blair

15eBay Testimony
- It is a lot faster. It allows you to list an
eBay auction with a click of a button rather than
having to go in and enter text. It saves you
time because you dont have to do it twice. You
only have to do it once.Ryan Moor
