"As a newby to carts, I had no idea how to choose one, but I got lucky! CS-cart is very helpful. When I needed a way to bulk upload images, they created a special module for me. That's awsome and it's working great. www.dangelointernational.com"

"This cart is fantastic and backed by a great team of professionals. They listen to comments and most sensible feature suggestions end up in the software within months. Easily the best cart software I have used in years, and the price is amazing too! Support is second to none and there is an active community (check the forum for reviewers usernames if you question the validity of the reviews!). They also offer a reasonably priced customization service that I have used on many occasions. Would recommend to anyone interested in E-Commerce. Hats of to CS. Thanks, Simon"

"I am so glad I found this cart software after using another one for years. I was always busy trying to make options work and installing modification after modification. I always wondered why I couldn't just have a cart with options that worked and that provided systems that I thought should be included but weren't. Then I discovered CS Cart and my prayers were answered. This is a great cart and the forums are very helpful. I have been able to modify my store just by doing a search in the forums.
I am in the process of switching over to CS Cart."

"I've used many carts, X-Cart, OSCommerce, Zen Cart, and others. Nothing comes close to CS-Cart. They LISTEN to their customers unlike X-Cart, and include features they way customers want them. Their cart comes with the easiest admin interface of any of the others and their choice of templates are included free. They dont nickel and dime you like the other ones. CS-Cart is the only cart for me and my clients. Try it, you won't be dissappointed."

"I never review anything, but I had to for this great software. This is the best kept secret in PHP/MySQL eCommerce. I've used nearly every cart out there and could never find any that worked to my liking. After looking long and hard I found CS-Cart, and I so gland I did. This software is beautiful, the store administration is the best I have seen, its UI is so nice it's actual a pleasure to use. Well designed, well thought out and very professional. At its price it's a steal."

"This cart is worth every penny. I have used other carts and have tried other "ecommerce" sites but NONE come even close to CS-CART. It is very easy to modify and putting in your products is a piece of cake. You can be up and running in no time. The help desk it wonderful. and the people in the forums are great too. This is the way to go if you want to have a quality store."

"This cart is, without doubt, the best shopping cart script you can buy. The support is superb, the forum community is brilliant and, best of all, my customers (and Google/Froogle) loves the site.
Having tried other carts, they all fade into the background compared to this classy piece of user-friendly coding."

"After trying almost every cart on the internet such as cube, os commerce, x-cart etc I stumbled across the best !
CS-Cart has more features as standard, a clean ajax interface and support thats second to none.
There really is no reason to even consider any other shopping cart. If you want something, its almost definatly a standard feature in CS-Cart.

"CS-Cart is the only shopping software I will use. I played around with other carts during the research phase of launching our ecommerce business but decided on them mainly due to ease of use for such a feature rich piece of software.
7 months later and I KNOW that I've made the smart choice. A+"

"We've had the cart for almost 10 days and are up and running without submitting a single support ticket. While not the simplest cart to set up, it is feature rich and solid. The previous cart we were using was a disaster. I was told that I had a record 31% of all support tickets submitted. Well, when a product doesn't work that's what happens. So it is no small thing when I say that our online store is up and running without one support ticket. CS-Cart does rock. Highly recommend it! http://www.onlyoga.com"

"I bought and used various shopping carts before purchasing CS-Cart. I found it easy to use and customize with no prior PHP knowledge at all. Support is great with a friendly user forum and helpdesk not that you’ll need it. Compared to the amounts I have spent in the past I find CS-Cart excellent value for money, so if you're going to buy cart software this year I suggest spending wisely and spent it on CS-Cart, I look forward to seeing you in the CS-Cart community soon."

"CS-Cart is by far the most robust and flexible shopping cart solution out there. It is out-of-box loaded with features and extras that are typically add-ons with other carts.
The ability to customize the templates and design is very straight forward once you understand the simplicity of the program.
Besides the software being the absolute best, support personelle are absolutely fantastic, from simply questions, to complicated customized features, answers are always within one day, and they are kind and super friendly. I will continue to work with CS-cart for all my e-commerce needs and you should too."

"This cart virtually makes every other cart on the market obsolete. 8 years ago, when i started my store there were very few options and most were $1000 or more. I chose to go with miva because of developer support and module extendability. I used tons of mods and was happy to have them. I also had to write a script to build static pages -it was good because of search engines but necessary because of speed. at the time, i knew of no carts that could do this. 5 yrs Later a developer made a mod for this made things little easier. but wow everything was slow - it got to the point that the store administrators were incapacitated because of limitations mostly do to the ineffecient code (time-outs) and incredible time requirements to make any updates. later i decided to go to miva 5 this was the worst decision of my life i had a highly customized store with tons of mods all which i purchased for 5 and a few more to try to get my current store functionality into ,plus i hired 2 developers to write code that wouldnt work in M5 because the never published the new DB function library. ultimate waste of $600 Anyhow i went in search of a new cart and was amazed at the crap that is still out ther 8 years after i originally started. nothing that was search engine friendly and certainly nothing that had all the functionality that i had added to my store with miva mods. I really needed static pages with that just because i have been spoiled on the performance and believe it always helped my conversions. this in itself was almost impossible mind all the other things i required.there were less than 8 out of 1000s that were even search engine friendly. Anyhow when i found cs-cart I knew it was what i needed i demo'd it and was astounded by its features. out the box was most like my store, and it wasnt hard to get some special customizations i wanted took 15 min for what i wasted 2 weeks $600 in M5. all this and search friendly, best function,best admin, best support, best price."

"These guys at CScart are very professional. I was hesitant at first because they are based in Russia and I am based in the United States. I thought there would be a language barrier. I was proved wrong. The entire cscart team has shown excellent communication skills, timely response to support questions and professionalism in every aspect. The CScart was a great find after hours and days of searching for the best shopping cart software - snackstop.net

"Many features as standard but the support is terrible. Ive found them to be rude on most occassions and when you have a problem they want to charge you extra to fix it, even within the 30 day warranty.
They also have an upgrade program which is buggy to say the least, it brought my whole site down including subdomains running other software and they refuse to provide manual upgrade instructions. Read their forums for more on this.
Avoid!"

"I agree with the rest here. My experiences with CS-Cart has been nothing but awesome. I'm not going back to the others. Just about all mods/features can be done thru admin panel with different levels of management. Page includes of coding make it easy to find segments of code if you do want to change anything instead of one super long page of code."

"TO CS-CART:
I would like to tell everyone thank you for the wonderful support so far, and I never been so happier with the ecommerce software. This is the best one I ever came across with. Easy to use, great support, and affordable. Im going to be getting 5 more licenses in the next month or two for sure. What makes this software so great is the different templates for the front end, and the wonderful and easy to manage back end, let alone the amazing support, and help forums. I never been so confindent and happy with this kind of type software. I tried Zen Cart, OS-Commerce, and many more, but for the time crunches I been put in CS-cart makes it easy to get up and running ASAP. I hope to play around with the customization more and making site more unique.
Thank You to everyone at CS-Cart.com

"As Internet Marketeer I've tested many e-comm solutions and every time there was something missing: SEO, multi-language, technical support, XHTML/CSS, templates etc...
Then I found CS Cart...
Not only the package has all the features I and my customers needed, but if something extra has to be done as customized projects they can do it on a very professional basis.
At first I was reluctant because working with other countries can be a hassle but not with CS-Cart.
I have no advantages in writing this review, but the truth is the truth: software and developers are just great!"

A comprehensive package that has great potential. A very friendly community is a good asset for those looking to customise. The skinning system is also very powerful. One to keep an eye on! |
