“Tallyman comes from the same development team that created
ShopSite, the industry’s best-selling commercial electronic
commerce system, now owned by Open Market.“
“Akopia, an emerging provider of open source end-to-end internet
commerce software, announces the availability of Tallyman(tm), a
highly customizable yet easy to use system for creating and
managing a commerce web site. Tallyman comes from the same
development team that created ShopSite, the industry’s best-selling
commercial electronic commerce system, now owned by Open Market.
Though its features are comparable with commercial ecommerce
systems costing ten thousand dollars and more, Tallyman can be
downloaded free from Akopia’s web site.”
“Tallyman provides users with an easy web-based interface to
manage a complex database of products, enter new items for sale,
and set up a shopping cart, tax, and shipping by filling out a few
forms. Though one of Tallyman’s primary strengths is its ease of
use, it is also designed to give web developers virtually unlimited
power to customize the functionality and user interface according
to merchants’ needs. Web designers, using only the HTML editing
tools they normally use, can create custom templates which will
determine site navigation and layout.”
