Shopping Cart Elite (SCE) offers e-commerce websites, marketplace tools and a team of managed-service staff, and has offered a motorsports edition since 2012. Dealer Portal is software your own team runs, built around Lightspeed DMS. Here is the comparison.
Sellers who want a full-service team (dedicated web master, data, design, marketplace, PPC, email and SEO staff) running their e-commerce, and who want product submission to Walmart and Google Shopping as well as eBay and Amazon.
Dealers who want to run their parts business themselves from one Lightspeed-connected dashboard: their own parts website, Amazon and eBay, orders into Lightspeed EVO, shipping, email and texting, for a flat $850 a month.
