What is browser-based software?

There are basically two types of shopping cart software that you can choose from. One type is software that you purchase and install on your computer. Browser-based software, such as MightyMerchant is installed and runs on our servers, rather than your computer. You access the software with a web browser such as Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.

Why would this be an advantage to you?
The first advantage is that you don't have to install anything on your computer to use MightyMerchant. You already have a web browser, so you are ready to go. Installing new software can introduce new problems on your computer that can be difficult to troubleshoot.

Another advantage is that you already know how to use your web browser, so learning how to use MightyMerchant is a snap.

Lastly, having the software on our servers allows us to provide you with the best technical support possible. We can diagnose and solve any issues quickly and add new features and you won't have to "upgrade" with new installations just to keep up. If you want to modify something on your web site - for example the ability to show a third product photo, we can make these modifications for you, so that you won't have to navigate through software installations on your computer.
