I have an ecommerce site running on Prestashop and the features of your site are not particularly compelling to me. However, if there was a good hosted ecommerce site builder available at the time I installed Prestashop that only charged a monthly fee and not a percentage of sales, I would have used it.

Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. Could you elaborate on 'the features of your site are not particularly compelling to me'.

Would help me to build a better product :)

My business has no retail presence so a printed catalog is unnecessary. At this point it doesn't make sense for me to switch to another shopping cart, but I think you're going after a perfectly fine market. The market for online store builders is really quite large; it's mostly a marketing challenge. If you have a strategy for reaching out to businesses in your region I think you're going to do fine.

Thanks rms I appreciate the feedback. I think you're right that the success of this product really boils down to a marketing challenge. I guess that applies to all products, but maybe more so when dealing with so much competition.
