CS-Cart offers Shopping Cart solutions CS-Cart offers solutions for those that want to run a single storefront to those wanting a multi-vendor solution to run a marketplace, like Amazon or Ebay. CS-Cart isn't an online service like Shopify or BigCommerce. Instead it is a self-hosted downloadable software that you run on your own hosting. Right out of the box, CS-Cart is packed full of 100's of features to suit even the most demanding store requirements. Most features can be individually enabled/disabled as well as configured to your liking. One of the best features we like, is the manual automatic updates system that keeps your site up-to-date with the latest CS-Cart updates and bug fixes without the need to upload files via FTP. A handful of preinstalled themes are available by default, however you’ll find over 200 third-party themes in the CS-Cart Marketplace to fit your desired look and feel. Hundreds of third-party-add-ons are also available. Making customizing easier, CS-Cart has a built-in layout editor allowing you to arrange your store using drag and drop elements. CS-Cart supports an expansive list of payment and shipping options to make it easy to integrate with what works for your business. CS-Cart has alot to offer, so much in fact since I have been using it for the past 2+ years, that it's hard to mention all it can do. My Verdict After using CS-Cart for 2 years, I have reached the conclusion that CS-Cart is overall a good storefront solution, although it can be a bit daunting for a beginner to configure initially. The software does have many great features and selling points. If I could point to a downside, some may not be so keen with continued payments for support and version upgrades, but they are not too expensive. I recommend that you go ahead and try a demo and play with the platform yourself.

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.

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.

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.

My choice is CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Marketplace in the Ultimate version Modern CMS for providing services to sellers of goods. One of the main advantages is convenient product management for sellers. Also, in more expensive versions, it is possible to manage the balances of goods in warehouses and display the goods of sellers on a separate storefront. For the store owner, I think the main advantage is the ability to set up flexible tariff plans for sellers and control their payment. The marketplace is built on the basis of CMS CS-Cart and therefore has similar functionality and the ability to install add-ons from third-party developers of which more than 1000. Multilingual and multi currency support, many delivery services and payment systems allow for sales outside one country. My choice is CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Marketplace in the Ultimate version. For the basic marketplace, I have not seen the best offer on the software market in the price segment.
