It’s been rumoured that ChannelAdvisor are beta testing premium store fronts for their users and today Nathan from Jack of All Trades revealed the detail. He says “When your account is enabled for premium store access, the Store menu link on MarketplaceAdvisor gives you two options, CA stores and Professional Stores. Professional Stores allows you to set up a ‘mapping’ to a Premium Store (AspDotNetStoreFront) or to a Yahoo store”.
Nathan goes on to list some of the new functionality available with Premiums Stores concluding “The real bonus is now you can get a professional store design and extra functionality can be added. It has the potential to give your users a much better experience than they would get with the basic ChannelAdvisor store”.
If you’re beta testing the new ChannelAdvisor Premium Stores in the UK or around the world let us know your thoughts.

As a customer of ChannelAdvisor, I was looking to replace my existing AspDotNetStorefront site with the Premium Storefront (which is also ASPDNSF) in order to make things even more efficient; however the costs are staggering!
£3000+VAT store license and setup (or £2000+Vat if you are one of the first 15 customers to sign up)
PLUS
£2000+VAT should you wish for a custom store design
PLUS
£300+VAT per month (or £3060+VAT if you pay 12 months in advance)

This is typical of a company that is truely out of touch with their customers. This high pricing is going to see CA outprice themselves world wide and doesn’t do themselves any favour. Maybe they are trying to make up for out of control senior management back in North Carolina that have just wasted money with the marketworks take over and the loss they are making continually in Germany.
Beware CA customers more ridiculous price hikes on the way!
