February 14, 2019 5.0 I have tried other eCommerce programs, but none compare to CS Cart for ease of use, value for money and support. Excellent. Pros CS Cart is very straight forward to use, and offers a plethora of features to sell products on the web. We were able to integrate it into our bespoke stock control system so that stock levels online were synced. The product entry scheme is very detailed . You can tailor the features to suit the requirements of the items that are listed. You can combine products, or list matching products. Products are organised into categories on the website, and this process also offers many possiblities to make things easier for site visitors. The administration panels has a promotions section to tailor offers on specific products at specific times, so you can plan your marketing ahead of time. You can also do promotions to your existing customers, or types of customers. The administration panel allows you to design you pages. The format is based on blocks and banners, and is really easy to configure. CS Cart also allows you to offer more than one payment provider so your customers have a choice. There is a SEO section to help you get to the top of the rankings. There is a comprehensive set of reports for dealing with orders when they come flooding in. Each report can be configured with you company logo, and you can keep your customers updated with emailed reports Simple! If all these details are not enough, then you can access the thriving community of add on developers who have added even more functionality to the core program. What is not to like. Finally, if you are like me and not too confident on the technical side, then CS Cart has a great customer support section. Polite, prompt and very very helpful if you are in trouble. They don't make you feel stupid, they explain and fix the problem quickly. Cons I would like to see more features on the mobile site. The numbers accessing my site by phone is increasing quickly, and I would like to offer more options for these customers, Review Source NT Nikolai T. Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I've been using CS-Cart for 9 years and with 3 stores, I'm perfectly happy with it" January 21, 2019 5.0 I've been using CS-Cart since 2010,starting with a small local website. It's still live (version 3.х) and kicking. Then I've started my first international website,worked well until we closed the business. My current top store is probably the top in the country, and it's also doing well in the region and even, occasionally, finding a place across Europe (with the UK online stores domination, it's not easy, considering main language differences). Apart from the occasional lack of some specific functionality of some third-party add-on, I've been perfectly happy with CS-Cart. I only wish they could add some functions in the base software or as in-house add-ons (preorder functionality,for example, can be improved a bit). Pros Great for SEO, I've been ranking any of my websites higher than competitors Really easy to build the base layout of the store with categories, subcategories, using product filters, etc. Great out of the box functionality Plenty of add-ons (paid and free) Flexible front end design Semi-lightweight (could be better, not a wordpress level of light yet) Cons Lack of some local integrations (like couriers or payment systems), you have to pay someone to do these Some third party add-ons are not great, and their support can be less than stellar Upgrades are resource intensive and you might need to contact your server support, sometimes to no avail Review Source YA Yinka A. Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cs Cart Multivendor: Best ecommerce tool ever" February 26, 2019 5.0 Pros My company has been using Cs cart Multivendor for over 4 year now and the experience we had with it has been an awesome one. very friendly and easy to use platform. One of the important thing that I cannot missed to say is that user can use this platform without any guide as they have made everything easy for all their users. To upload, update, activate and disable is very easy to on cs cart. Also to register vendor, set up vendor plan, approve vendor, deactivate vendor and the management of vendor is very easy. The most advantage of using cs cart is that there is development (test unit) to test any of the changes you intend to make on the life unit. This will enable you to get your website up running at all time as without any error. Their support is vert efficient as they are ready at anytime to work on any request submitted by their user. Cons Cs cart should provide user guide for our vendor to upload their product. Review Source PR Philip R. Member Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of CS-Cart Ecommerce Software" April 2, 2019 4.0 I have been using CS-Cart software for 8 years or so. It has come a long way. I am overall pleased with my decision to select this software. They have worked hard to fix bugs that accompanied updates early on and improve the updating process. They really seem dedicated to putting out a top-notch e-commerce product. The block architecture allows even novices to customize their own site and I do most of the website work myself with little computer experience. When I need extra help the customer help desk is very attentive and solves any issues quickly. There are now numerous add-ons to address most needs of a website owner and when custom work is needed there are capable developers to handle this work for you. Pros Ease of Use Very Customizable Affordability Active helpful community Very attentive Help Desk Constantly improving software Lots of features Lots of add-ons to select from Cons Checkout process could be better and in my case required an add-on Updating process is nerve-racking although much improved over the past Review Source VM Vlatka M. Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best platform for a multifunctional webshop" January 22, 2019 5.0 In one purchase you get a nicely designed web shop, with many options and features, easy to use- a webshop's owner dream. Pros It's amazing how many features are included in CS-Cart, and I think that's the best 'pro'. Various possibilities of customer rewarding options, product options, easily translatable for multi-language sites...are just a few of features. Admin panel in very intuitive and easy to use. Documentation covers every possible issue, and customer support is fast.Several skins (themes) and you can always get some new ones. Maybe the best of all: it is so well SEO optimized that my web shop got to the first Google page in a matter of months. Cons None that I can think of...I've been working with several webshop platforms, and CS-Cart is the only one I would recommend to others. Review Source JH Joy H. ceo Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lightning fast ecommerce platform" January 28, 2019 5.0 Overall we are very happy with it and the support is great and developers are pretty easy to communicate with through the forums. Pros We have been using CS-Cart for 3 years now and I can't stress enough how fast and stable it is. Everyone told us we should be on Magento 2, so we jumped on the bandwagon and thought it was a good idea too. About about year ago we started the migration to Magento 2. Mostly due to the lack of plugins for the Dutch market. That periode we truly started to appreciate CS-Cart and after struggling for months in a staging environment we decided to fully focus on CS-Cart instead and get choose professional CS-Cart partners and get anything missing custom developed. One of our websites is https://www.dronekenner.nl In the meanwhile CS-Cart is getting more and more advanced from stock so less need for plugins Cons There are not many companies in Holland with default CS-Cart plugins. Fortunately everything can get custom developed with the API. Review Source TL Tom L. Customer Support and Technical Adviser Specialist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comparing CS-CART to Other E-commerce Platforms" January 21, 2019 5.0 CS-CART developers should improve caching mechanism to support very large shopping carts, especially with mega-menu interfaces. Security will be more and more critical. Thank you for all your great work! Pros CS-CART is very solid E-commerce platform, and outstanding technical support people behind it. Most important, it is a Licensed eCommerce software easy to install on a dedicated server, or in a shared hosting environment. Most of the shopping carts are "Hosted" solutions we wanted to avoid when we considered the best platform for our business. The cart can provides useful built-in add-ons and important functionalities. Cons Honestly, can't name anything. Considering that speed is critical, we are only concerned with caching mechanism and optimal hosting environment parameters that not easy to determine if you are not an expert. The shopping cart needs some learning curve as well for many users. There is no AI voice yet, to say "do this" and "do that", and it follows your command. :) Review Source TC Tristan C. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cs-Cart Multi-Vendor Ultimate 2022" June 6, 2022 5.0 Pros Standard features. Highly customizeable. Diffrent levels. Can turn features on and off easily. Cons Support costs and not 24/7. New versions have been added at higher price-points. Review Source JW Jack W. General manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing online shopping cart software" January 21, 2019 5.0 Pros I need to say that CS cart help me a lot on my online business. Easy to use No matter you are a newer to online shopping cart or a skilled user, it is easy to get on hand. Develop own feature You can develop your own web feature at any time. And it is quite easy to write code and make changes. Perfect SEO frame I think SEO issue is a big problem for every online shopping cart, but CS-Cart gives you a solution. Amazing customer service Every time you have a problem, you can talk to them, a quick response. Also, you can go to the forum to communicate with other users. Actually, you can go for other online shopping cart but CS cart is the one who informs you that there is a new issue may affect your site, and meanwhile, they bring a solution to you. Cons You have to pick up the right host in order to run CScart. I personally suggest CS cart TO optimize the product variation part, because i think it can be easier. Review Source KA Konstantin A. CEO Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Slow, lack of support and not buyers friendly!" February 13, 2019 2.0 Using CS-Care for years and overall it is fine. But if to make a choice now, I would never choose CS-Cart again. Support is really slow and inefficient. But the main problem, that CS-Cart developers are great programmers, but bad sales persons. They never had own webshops or even sell something to customers. The great example - that in CS-Cart architecture E-mail is mandatory field. The first rule of sales - the process must be as easy as it can be. But nobody from CS-Cart understand that! So I live for years with many abandoned carts because many people does not want to enter e-mails but nothing possible without it. There are 3 addons which allow to avoid this, but all of them works with own bugs... So, after a years of experience I would not recommend. Although the design is great and really simple to use! Pros Easy of use: install, setup and modify. Cons Was build not by salesmen but programmers. Review Source VS Victor S. Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Daily use for atvi.eu from 2010 and for sure will continue to use it" February 27, 2019 5.0 Pros Using it for more than 9 years i see a constant involved in the development of the product that becomes more mature from one year to another; Easy to use interface, i do not have a technical background or IT support company; Good market place developed in recent years; Prompt technical support; Fixed costs, no monthly fees; Cons In the early years the upgrades were somehow painful but these evolved enormously in recent years and not it's a breathe; Even if there are no monthly fees if you want to have the latest upgrades (post the 1 year free upgrade period) a subscription package must be acquired; Review Source PK Panos K. Developer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect for small to mid size shops" February 6, 2019 5.0 It has best value for money! Works out of the box for small business. Pros Good looking and user friendly admin pages. Good looking store front. Easy to use for merchants, clear orders, products Super flexible promotions system. Unique flexible for this price of software. Easy to extend, creating add-ons for cs-cart is very easy and mostly consistent. Layout extra flexible with blocks, extremely helpful and again unique feature giving the flexibility to customize layout extensively without a line of code. Multi language, multi currency. Multi vendor is build brilliantly. Numerous cheap add-ons. Cons Slow search when features are involved. Slow ajax. Not bootstrap front end theme Complicated code in product search. Sphinx or elasticSearch are hard to integrate. Review Source MK Michael K. Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CS-Cart review, using since 2011" January 25, 2019 5.0 Pros We are using CS-Cart since 2011. Before we used eCommerce, but found that CS-Cart is easier to use. CS-Cart is easy to install, configure and support. All the necessary info to configure the store we found in the documentation. Support is good, but sometimes takes longer to get answers. Basically it covers all your needs. If something does not come out of the box, there are plenty add-ons available on the market. We like admin interface to manage orders, products. Store front end has many different skins and themes that can apply. Overall we are happy with the product. Cons Some features after upgrades not supported or do not work. Some help topics are not cleared. Can not configure Free local pickup in shipping. Review Source PM Paulo M. Developer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review on CS-CART e-commerce platform" January 22, 2019 5.0 I have been stuck to it unconditionally since 2012, even after experiencing other known platforms like prestashop, oscommerce or magento. I am now a proud and happy host of several successful online business running CS-CART stores. Pros Fully featured opensource e-commerce platform Expandable capabilities through addons and skins readily available through a growing associated marketplace Fair price for a successful online business running store Extremely fast, secure and reliable Continuously being updated and following the online markets trends Excellent support and development if necessary Multilanguage, and SEO ready Cons If you are a Facebook level editor, prepare yourself to go through a learning curve until get familiar with all CS-CART admin features Review Source CL Caesar L. owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I'm a happy user" January 24, 2019 5.0 Pros I'm not a developer but a user. The CMS interface is pretty straight forward even for an everyday user. If you grab the logic once how the system is set up... then easy to add Menu points or products with all of theirs features, like dimensions weight and so on. I use this in US thus live shipping cost calculation at the time of check out is necessary. Cons Cs.cart is not an opened source platform, not so easy to find reliable and knowledge-able developer to get new things done. Thus you are in trouble with lets say just to update the platform as you can not fix the trouble on your own. Plug ins and themes are quite limited. Review Source JB Joe B. CEO Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Shopping Crat Software" March 26, 2020 5.0 I have been using this software for over 12 years since the early days of this software and it has improved over the years with many new features but still needs more, but overall I have been very happy using it. Pros It has many features to do just about anything needed in the e-commerce business, it has a big community for help if needed. Cons It lacks some much-needed features that are available in other similar applications that will make this software much better Review Source ES Elaine S. Web Developer and User Interface Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Don't expect much support." July 18, 2017 2.0 Pros It is affordable for small business owners to get up and running. It does offer a lot of bells and whistles other carts don't have, like loyalty programs and email marketing. Cons The platform is very poorly coded and won't perform well on affordable shared hosting, so be prepared to spend a lot more on web hosting than you would with other comparable platforms. SEO is pretty bad so make sure you have other marketing options. Support is from across the globe so it takes a very long time to hear back - you lose a day every time you send a message, and things are never resolved in one message, so it's back and forth a day at a time. Documentation is poor and it's not very clear how to make theme adjustments other than just choosing from among the provided themes. Review Source MC Matthew C. Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CS-Cart is the complete package!" January 21, 2019 5.0 If I didn't think CS-Cart was the product for me i would be using something else. Pros CS-Cart has all the features that I need at a very reasonable price. I've looked at Woo Commerce and by the time I add plugins to get the built in capabilities that are part of CS-Cart, I''m pay more and still getting less. The customer support responds very quickly and is always helpful. CS-Cart is consistently being updated to add new features or enhance existing features. Cons If there are any cons, they are so small that I can't think of them right now. CS-Cart has all the features I need and more. Review Source KH Khanh H. Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A very good complete shopping cart software solution for my business. " January 21, 2019 5.0 Pros With very little knowledge about programming, I was able to set up my own online store. It looked professional. Easy to configure and it does comes with lot of features. Support is fast and great. You can also ask questions in their forum and the community are willing to help you out. Many custom plugins are available as well. Cons A few things that annoying me is setting for the product features, product filters. It does not update newly added product or category automatically. You have to manually added it. At least for the version 4.5.2 that I am using. Review Source FA Francesco A. project manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly customizable and intuitive ecommerce cart" January 24, 2019 5.0 Pros At this moment i think cs cart represent the best choice for an alli-n-one software ecommerce platform, for middle or little online business, it doesn't need big code knowledge, installing and configuring it are very intuitive and simple, and the best think in my opinion, it's that you don't need any additional module or extension, you can easily setup a fully functional ecommerce with a lot of options, about managing the products, marketing and website, products variants, SEO and marketing, exporting/importing all type of data, blog feature, GDPR module, and may other, it's all inclusive, and the price is very good too. If you are lloking for a complete ecommerce solution i recommend CS-Cart as one of the best one. Another important thing is that the development team is constantly working on updates, to fix problems, and to add new features and better functionality. Cons After one year from purchasing, you need to pay for an upgrade subscription plan, to continue receiving upgrades, however it's not so expensive. Review Source VT Vic T. admin Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's worthit" January 21, 2019 5.0 Pros very easy to use for non-professional (we have 3 webshops on this platform and we want to add more) a lot of free addons big community with a lot of free advise very intuitive and easy customization for front page new features added on almost every upgrade Cons help support must be a little big flexible with "rookies" ;) Sometimes we ask " stupid question just because we are not familiarized with terms and if for you are easy to find information in KB for us is much more difficult Review Source GK Grzegorz K. CEO Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Help Desk and SEO" February 26, 2019 5.0 I stay with CS-Cart for 8 years without significant problems. Pros What I do appreciate the best in CS-Cart is Help Desk. I used to use it quite often and every time problems were solved fast and communication was run without any delay. I have found it more reliable and faster than my local distributor (and local language) help. SEO is what is most important for me and CS-Cart make available the perfect tools for that. Cons Sorry to say too many addons are payable. Review Source IV Ivan V. Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very complete platform for ecommerce" January 22, 2019 5.0 Pros CS Cart is a very complete platform that offers most functionality inside of the same platform without having to rely on third party plugins. It's interface is also very user friendly and intuitive to use, specially in the products section where you have all kinds of options from different shipping rates, hidden products, sales, discounts, etc. The latest versions have become more and more mobile friendly which is also important now that most users are shopping on their mobile phones. It integrates with most merchant solutions out there (paypal, stripe, etc.) and support is always there to help you along the way. Cons Because there aren't as many plugins out there it's difficult to find specific functionalities, like upselling, cross selling, abandon cart, etc. Review Source AM Andrii M. Shop owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product" January 21, 2019 5.0 I use for several online shops for many years. In my opinion, one of the best applications for business. Pros Simplicity, convenience, excellent support, continuous product development, affordable price. Ability to connect various modules, customization from both the developer and third-party developers. Cons Requires a good hosting, in the case of a large number of goods. However, ongoing work is underway to improve the speed of the stores. Review Source AD Alexis D.
