Review: StoreFront AE and BizPlaces
A number of you will be impressed with StoreFront's features. The cost of entry for the hosted StoreFront BizPlaces is only $14.95, which is a great place for beginners, since they support the PayPal payment system

One nice feature is the connection to QuickBooks accounting. There are some caveats, however, that you'll want to know about. Read the Review
