Miva vs Wix: Which is a better fit?

We believe that Miva Merchant is one of the best shopping cart experiences on the market. We have been very satisfied with the added benefit of having them as our web host.

Miva recently changed their pricing model which is now based off gross sales. This is an awful way to do it, since all company's margins are different.

Very developer-friendly platform. Plugin implementation is easy and the selection is outstanding.

We had been Miva users since Miva4 and recently upgraded to Miva9. It was a disaster in so many ways.

Nick answered all my concerns, and was patient and courteous and addressed all my issues - why can't all customer service experiences be this good. Thank you Nick for your great work.

In today's world an commerce platform should not cost this much for what you are getting. Now for the image manipulation by Miva.

Sam and the rest of the team made our move from Miva 4.x (yes I know it is old) to the Miva 5.5 so easy and answered all our questions clearly and timely. Very good to work with and we love the Miva.

There are tons of small little nuances about the software that just make things so much more difficult. Especially in regards to bulk product editing.

It was my first experience building a website and everything worked like a charm and left me really happy with the final result.

Ve had several malfunctions with it in the past. M scared to edit and delete old information on there just because it screwed up the booking button and clients couldn’t schedule.

M extremely happy with what is offered, the ability to pick it right up with an easy to use interface, and the customer service is also high quality as wel.

There needs to be more -- and better - quality -- add-ons available. Those with terrible reviews make Wix look bad; more should be done to weed out the awful options.

Accessible to anyone who has a little interest and commitment. Enables the creation of very professional websites, with an excellent image bank and templates.

It was often crashing on customers who would try to buy online. This resulted on many loss sales or issuing discounts to clients for their “inconvenience.

I most like the program's ease of use, cost-effectiveness and the varied and sophisticated designs that are available to those who work with it it.

Absolutely awful customer service and support when things go wrong (which they do, daily).
