Only few vendors provide all these complete functions. Administrative tools include product editors, sophisticated color and font editors, inventory control, automated order status updates, product cloning, coupon activation, personalized marketing tracking, affiliate tracking, html promotional email capability, shipping manager, real time statistics and image manger.

A successful e-commerce site manages inventory, track orders and has fully edited storefront. Web based control panels are mandatory for success.
