eCommerce Software Requirements
We have deliberately tried to keep the requirements need to run the Open Mind Commerce software as simple as possible so we have divided the requirements into two distinct groups.
The first set of requirements are critical ones. Without these the system simply will not run, period. The second set is slightly more forgiving in that if they are not available it's not a show stopper, your life just won't be as easy as it could be.
If you are not sure if the system will run on your hosting companies servers then please download this file and then run on your hosts servers. It will immediately tell you if there are any problems. To run the file simply download and unzip it and then upload to your hosting web space. We do also offer a very competitive range of hosting plans that fully support Open Mind Commerce.
NB: In line with our refund policy, if you purchase this software without checking it will work first then there will be no refund issued!
