In the interest of your success only, we have put together a helpful list of tools and software that can be used to extend your AmeriCommerce shopping cart's reach, functionality and appeal to your customers.  Some of these are our channel partners, and others are just handy things we have found on the web that we thought helpful.

Wufoo Form Creator

ChatStat
A website chatting service that is free and it also allows you to merge in other Instant Messaging programs like MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger and more.  They have some upsells that are very interesting as well which let you work with teams, translations and much more.

Google Translator Integration
Add an automatic translator to your AmeriCommerce shopping cart software that mimics complete internationalization without having to translate the entire site into our store text & languages module.  You can also hit remove header at the top, then copy/paste the URL into a link on your site to have your site seamlessly change languages.

WidgetBox
Tons of small widgets that can be put on your site to extend it's functionality, reach, appeal and usability.  Self contained snippets of functionality much like the AmeriCommerce snapins.

AmungUs Widgets
A few very nicely styled widgets for determining visitors on a site, mapping them, reporting on them and more.  Self contained snippets of functionality much like the AmeriCommerce snapins that can be placed anywhere on your site.

Live Face On Web
Interesting way to tell your customers about your service, as seen on our customer's site www.julie-ann.com.  They provide a model/actor to do the work and is very affordable.  Works with the AmeriCommerce system.

Jellyfish Shopping Network
Similar to a feed, you supply jellyfish with your products and a percentage off, which they share with their customers.  If you already offer discounts then this a no cost way to help move your product and get inbound links too.

Xigla Software
Knowlegebase Management, News Feeds, Customer Polling application and many more addons.  All modular.

Coogy Ebay Item Preview
Add links to your ebay items right in your AmeriCommerce storefront using this widget.  AmeriCommerce typically has the items listed, but you may want to link to your ebay list of items in case you move slow inventory on ebay or other such tactics.

Live Person
Chatting service for your site, monthly service but very advanced offering.
