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.

Best Multi-Vendor Marketplace System During my research of selecting a Multi-Vendor platform for our new E-Commerce Marketplace I came across CS-Cart Multi-Vendor and after using the trial period to explore the features and doing custom development for the platform our team fell in love with how organized the code of the system is and it is a complete package which we needed. The system has all the features you can imagine for an E-commerce Marketplace. It is really easy to set up and their customer support is amazing. I got two licenses for CS-Cart and I am happy with my investment. You can say it a complete MVP if you are considering to start a marketplace to attract customers and investors then CS-Cart Multi-Vendor is the one you need.

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 The documentation is sometimes outdated and hard to understand.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 The how-to videos are really outdated and need to be refreshed.

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!

CS CART MULTI-VENDOR - EXCEPTIONAL! I looked at all the companies and software in this space and wondered why CS Cart was not as popular in North America as they were in Europe. It made no sense, especially after comparing the support, the software, and the pricing. I ended up purchasing the multi-vendor edition 2 year ago and have nothing but positive reviews to give. The software is comprehensive and really addresses everything marketplace platform should and the tech support has been fantastic. (I took advantage of the free support period during customization and each person I dealt with was thorough and kind). I recommend CS Cart without hesitation.
