Perfect for our needs so far." June 26, 2018 4.0 It's free, easy to use, and secure. Pros This CMS has been very reliable to us so far. Very stable (but watch out when you upgrade), secure, and our customers love the frontend interface,. As a ecommerce website admin, it easily let me do my day to day work without issues. Backend interface is straightforward and simple. Other pros : - translation (frontend) is easy - built-in communication tool for our customers - stable platform and secure - reporting - good extensions (but most of all are not free) - multi-site manager Cons \- Lack of decent templates even if our customers love the interface - Few extensions compared to other CMSs - Upgrades may be complicated sometimes (test everything, I mean everything) - Lack of some integrations (payment processors, affiliates platforms, etc.).

I found Abante Cart according to my expectations. Very user friendly interface. But I appreciate If we get some more Themes so we can change its look and feel also. otherwise all the web site will look same like others who are using same platform. Changing color should be so easy. Some more features should be added like todays other modern shopping web site are using. Like Aliexpress, Amazone, Flipcart, Snapdeal etc. I love if Abante add or develop some more software like Free classified, Web Portal related like Yahoo, indiatimes, facebook, youtube, msn, twiter etc. , Dating portals Pros All of the above Its FREE and its very user friendly and feature rich. Nice Layout. Full fill all requirements. Cons No Flexibility, We have to be strict what is offered. No Theme options available. Admin settings needs to be more friendly too.

I quickly managed to help myself to set up categories and products. setting other parameters makes me a bit harder, but mostly I manage. Cons But what's the problem? I can not find any upgrades for my language that I use Serbian. Some positions in the store can not be removed which I do not need. There are also things that can be corrected, such as the length of the text that can be entered, for example, for private police, for privacy policy, for site conditions.

June 28, 2017 5.0 Making clients happy with an ecommerce option they could take over when their store was complete. Pros It has many features for the price (FREE), I have been using it for many years and it is always my go to cart. It is one of the few out there that has the file upload feature, a must if you sell calendars. It is easy to get your store to look the way it should with the layout option. Cons It is missing the cms option, I did figure out a way around this though. It doesn't have the option to have a vertical menu on the home page, you can find mods or templates in the market place for this though. The shipping was a little difficult for me to figure out. Support on the forum was available to help with this and I did get it done. I like it so much I donated to help support the developers and keep it going!

Pros This software's default theme fit our business nicely so I had to do very little customising, the features included without needing to use plugins are more than most shopping carts I have used in the past (I have tried all PHP based systems). Cons Not the software's fault but not many plugins are available, I guess due to not being so popular yet, other than that I can't think of any downsides. Reason for choosing AbanteCart Having used all the others they all had different issues that I could not find easy solutions for, Abantecart had all the features we needed and the default theme fit our store so it was fate.
