With over 800 million active users on Facebook, 50% of which log into their accounts in any given day, Facebook has become much more then a digital meeting ground of gossip. The savvy business-person must know how to turn a profit using this highly trafficked social media platform in these aggressive times. There are 5 shopping carts that I recommend using to take advantage of the Facebook cult.

Top 5 Facebook Shopping Carts
These carts are listed in NO particular order. I’ve found that they all have their positives and negatives. You should do some further research before using them, but this is an EXCELLENT starting point!
1. LunarMods – No programming skills needed here, this software is a quick and easy way to change your Facebook page into a fully customized web platform. You can open a storefront in about 15-20 minutes and features product ads as well as Like and sharing features so you can take advantage of your fans. LunarMods has 3 plans:
a. Business - $19.95/mo and allows you to upload 20 items, 3 photos per item. Charging a 2% Transaction Fee and Secure Amazon or Paypal Checkout
b. Business Pro - $39.95/mo and allows you to upload 100 items, 8 photos per item. The transaction fees and check out options are the same as Business
c. Enterprise – They will create a customize plan and pricing structure for you based on your needs so you will need to contact them if Business or Business Pro will not suffice. You can contact the at this email sales@lunarmods.com


2. Moluko – A small company based in Australia, Moluko can still provide good customer support even though they only have 2 core staff members. They do outsource when needed, but so far they have not had any major issues with customer support (if you have had a personal bad experience, please let me know). Moluko does not take a percentage of each transaction, instead you pay a $19.00/mo fee, and I do believe they offer a price break if you need more than 10 stores. You are not locked into a contract so you can cancel at any time. Buyers complete the checkout process on either Paypal or your company’s website.
