Storestacker Review

One of the online tools I have been playing around with recently is called ‘Storestacker’ and here is my Storestacker Review. Storestacker is an ‘Affiliate Niche Store Builder’ (according to the sales page).

At the time of writing it is being offered for a $1 trial for two weeks so I thought I would take the plunge and check it out, and I have to say I am immensely impressed with it. Storestacker basically gives you the ability to setup an online store using feeds from eBay (all geographies as far as I could tell) Amazon (both US and UK) and Clickbank (which sells eBooks and other digital/online products). I will explain more during the course of this Storestacker Review.

If you signup as an affiliate (or associate in Amazon’s case) with these retailers then you will get a commision for every product which is sold which is sold through your store. And the best part is (at least for me anyway) is that you do not control stock, distribution or payments yourself – this is all done through the relevant retailer. You can see it in action at tips for celebrating christmas which took me about an hour to put up and customise (though see the notes below – it may take you longer).

How Much Does it Cost?

The basic package is $97 which includes the ability to include Youtube videos, Clickbank and Amazon. You can add the Clickbank plugin for another $25 (high commisions) and the ability to add RSS feeds for another $25.. there are also additional options for Overstock, RegNow and HotelClub.com for a total cost of $222. Whilst this cost may seem excessive bear in mind that this is a one off cost and allows you to build as many stores as you want in as many niches as you want so the potential is enormous. You can also add text to any page, google adsense (contextual adverts where you get paid every time somebody clicks on them no matter if they make a purchase) and even your own articles. There are also 12 templates for the site and the tutorials are uniformly excellent.One of the areas which concerned me was how are product details kept up to date (especially ebay auctions). Well, the answer is through setting CRON on your server, so it’s not a realtime feed but the instructions are clear and easy to implement – to my mind the ability to combine feeds from various sources into one category more than makes up for this.

So where can it be used?

Well, you can create as a stand alone website, or as a store tagged onto an already existing website – in fact there are many possibilities which I would urge you to explore.

Storestacker Review – So what is the downside?

Well, part from the cost, there are certain things you do need (all of which are easily gettable) BUT if you haven’t got them there will be a learning curve.

First, you install it on your own domain which means you need hosting and a domain name. Second you will need FTP (although there are instructions on uploading if you don’t have FTP). FTP is free but there is a learning curve to use it. Thirdly, you will need Amazon, Clickbank and eBay affiliate ids – again, the process of setting up is straightforward but will add to your time to setup your store. If you don’t have all these things already I would say half a day setup is more realistic. If you need help with any of the above then please leave a comment below.

Overall, I am really looking forward to building more stores through store stacker. I hope you found this Storestacker Review helpful – click on the banner below to find out more:
