Great product for a Market place We have been using Multi Vendor Plus for about 7 months now and we are quite happy with the out of box functionalities it has. It has quite an extensive out of the box functionalities which is required to run any market place site. This can definitely improve on the UI /UX of the screens also consider putting hyper local concept of listing products based on the location of the customers.

Great marketplace solution We use CS-Cart MultiVendor Plus for about a year. Platform for itself has a lot of useful functionalities: managing goods, SEO, promos for customers. Huge asset is that its a low-code product - you can easily design interface or manage stores without coding. Onboarding process takes time because of these extended Multivendor possibilities but there is a lot of documentation and user forum where you can ask any question and once you understand the logic behind this product, you can get any answer just by yourself. We use separate checkout module (separate payment for each vendor) - gift certificates and discount coupons are not compatible with this module. Partially this limits vendors possibilities to make promotions for customers. Overall CS-Cart MultiVendor Plus definitely worth more than its price. I highly recommend this product if you plan to make a marketplace!

Best we found after lots of research After careful consideration of all of our different options we found CS Cart to give us the most functionality at a great cost. We also use Multivendor and there is not another off the shelf product that can compare. They have always been quick to respond to any of our questions and the forum helps with lots of pieces too. Worth it if you are thinking of opening your own Ecommerce store. Pros - Easy to set up, responsive and lots of functionality Cons - To make it even better you do need some language skills like HTML or similar

It works for what I need. The software has changed a lot since I got it. It has definitely gotten better and easier to use and more flexible. I have never used any other platform, so I can't compare it to others. It works for what I need. I like the fact that I can install the software on my own server. There are a lot of add-ons and those developers are very helpful and easy to work with. I keep finding new things that I can add to help improve my business. Customer support has always been very fast and friendly. They are doing a better job at explaining how to fix the issue instead of just solving it, which makes it easier to understand if I were to have the same or similar issue again. Since this is my first and only shopping cart, it was not very user-friendly and easy to set up and use. At times it became quite complicated to use. The documentation is sometimes outdated and hard to understand. They need to do a better job of showing instead of just telling. The how-to videos are really outdated and need to be refreshed.

Comprehensive ecommerce software to start a Marketplace I have 2 clients using CS-Cart B2C for many years. I decided to open a marketplace so CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Plus was an obvious choice. Out of the box, it is the right price for features to setup vendor plans/accounting/privileges/shipping/payment methods/promotions to be up and running in no time. Pros: Updates release regularly Comprehensive user/developer guides PHP/TPL hooks to customize source code/templates REST API Mobile app Cons: Store theme is bland. Plan to buy a third-party theme. Overall, the software gets better and better with each update.
