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

Good base but requires simplification CS Cart MVE can probably be a great and satisfying product. It is just not for everyone, which should be mentioned at the very beginning of the sales process. If you know programming/have a developer on board, or you are ready to invest in hiring one, CS Cart becomes an excellent platform, opening tons of possibilities for creating a great marketplace. If you face any problem, there’s an excellent CS Cart support team, responding quickly and clearly. There's also a nice community on a forum, which is really helpful. However, if you don’t have such resources, CS Cart may disappoint you in many areas, and unfortunately it has been our case. Although we are quite tech-savyy business people, with a front-end developer on board, customizing CS Cart, so it looks at least quite modern and user friendly, has been a challenge and a really time-consuming process. Even though you get a free trial before buying, you just can’t test everything and many issues come out later. Most important pros: - great support team; - quite extensive and very helpful community on forum; - if you are ready to invest a lot in custom development, it’s probably one of the most robust platforms on the market. I also heard from professionals that it’s very stable regarding the security, but it’s hard for me to assess this; - many add-ons to choose from. Most important cons: - rather impossible to be configured by non-tech people, since it’s really complicated and non-intuitive. It doesn’t need to be a con, however it’s worth to mention it in the sales process, so there's no disappointment; - requires a LOT of custom development to become aesthetic and user friendly - even the design themes that you can buy additionally are still not very modern; - vendor panel - old-fashioned in design, and very hard to navigate for vendors. It needs add-ons or back-end works to make it at least decent; - updates don’t consider most important needs of the users - I have an impression that they are not based on users’ feedback; - be prepared that for some markets the customization (like payment provider etc.) will cost you much more that the platform itself; My overall rate is average, because it was rather disappointing for us, but I believe it can be just excellent for others.

CS-CART Multi-Vendor platform I am using CS-CART one year until now all technical work went well with the Support Team. 1. reason for purchase to create high quality marketplace 2. CS-CART feature well enough to test your idea 3. If you love drag and drop, CS-CART definitely valuable 4. Value for money: lifetime licenses, or monthly subscription. Life-time licenses required upgrade subscription fees to keep your license update, troubleshooting that is positive features, additional cost tech support after a year is minimal if you keep your license upgraded, Quality of framework CS-CART has rich coding. It a quite a learning curve, documentation is also very useful. They don't give documentation for Seller separately, all in one master guide. I love their technical support responses are weekdays, they solve the issue fantastically, that is another reason I like using CS-CART. I recommend cs-cart multivendor for professional and commercial level. their framework intends to serve a large scale of the customer without switching 3rd party to expand your user base. Support Technically available subscription-based also credit pay as you go. CS-CART is a commercial level framework can load faster, variety of payment system, easy to integrate, but getting a PayPal commerce approved is harder from PayPal not CS-CART, STRIPE is a breeze! CS-CART offers global multi-vendor solutions. Recently they updated 4.12.2 lot of features and more improved platform . Is it value for money? (YES) Cost can be increase but less than what you paying to a competitor for a platform, basic marketplace cost way too much with a subscription plan with other parties, with CS-CART I was able to launch my dream platform without much coding experience and it's scalable!

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.

Cs-Cart Multi Vendor new experience We’ve been using Cs-Cart for our company website since 2014. In 2016 we started to share our large design database with our clients through the multi-store feature and it has been very successful. In a few weeks from now we will launch our multi-vendor site. Setting pages, adding products, managing vendors & payments are easy tasks. Backend management access from a mobile phone is as easy as being on a PC, thanks to a great responsive theme. Cs-Cart team has always been on the spot anytime we had questions or needed technical help. All Cs-Cart versions are being updated on a regular basis. Every update always bring more features and greater user experience. All this to say we’re very satisfied using Cs-Cart and we’ll keep on growing our business using it.
