"CubeCart3 goes beyond the standards of Ecommerce solutions, by allowing XHTML/CSS2 layouts, full payment gateway options(including orderform option),and more. Feature packed, easy to install and setup, CubeCart is without a doubt a System in a league of its own."

"I had quite a look at quite a few carts before settling on cube cart. It's not the most feature rich or most powerful, in fact out of the box it's fairly basic. What it does have going for it is a lovely simplicity that's easy to use, skinning that puts the rest of the industry to shame, an extensive range of 3rd party add ons that add the functionality the core software doesn't have, and a very busy, friendly user forum. Those things more than make up for the weaknesses.
Unless your needs are very basic, you should budget to spend a bit more money on 3rd party add ons as well (typically $20 - $30 each), but it's still cheap including them."

"This shopping cart is one of the most user friendly if you want to mod your store your self. Unlike oscommerce you can get new skins at a reasonable price and the forums are informative and friendly. The admin area is easy to use and there are no complications, a text editor is included.
The license fee of $69 is a steal but you do not have to pay for it to get a fully functional shopping cart."

"It's an ok basic cart, but a bit buggy. The features out of the box are very simple, it's missing what I would consider basic features (such as discount coupons). There are a lot of "mods" available to add extra functions, but a "mod" means modifying the source code, which isn't for the beginner and creates problems when you want to upgrade to a newer version of cubecart.
If you want something super basic and have got some basic technical skills, it's a good choice, but for anyone other than that, keep looking."

"Ugly. Man, going through the websites using this shopping cart is like traveling the bizarro world. One ugly site after another. People please!!!"

"I moved to CubeCart nearly a year ago from oScommerce and couldnt be happier. As previously mentioned it does currently miss some features like discount coupons but the third party mods are very cheap and very simple to install. The template system is its best feature, using HTML and .CSS which makes for easy customisation.
There have been some security issues but they are addressed immediately with a patch released within hours. The next version (3.1.0) will be feature rich according to their blog and the support has been excellent."

"For installation on Windows using MySQL 5, some type errors happened. According to their staff, it works on Linux system. Do they only serve Linux users? It's a problem."

"Was searching far and wide for a shopping cart, and we luckily stumbled upon cubecart, I agree with version 3 alot of features you would like are not missing and need to buy addons, but version 4 seems to have fixed alot of this, and its so easy to update and change, for the price, you cant really ask for more!"

"I had nothing but problems with this cart. It was one thing after another. The support was good, but you shouldn't need support that often.. I purchased CS-Cart and have had very little problems and a ton more features."

"I saw a lot of complaints here abotu CubeCart, but also good reviews. CubeCart is excellent if you know how to program it. Thats the key, kniowing how to program it. Yes the Mods and Add ons cost money, but what doesnt? By far CaubeCart offers a very powerful solution without being complex. Even if you are not a programmer, CaubeCart cna still work for you, because the add ons can be installed for you for a fee that is listed by the seller. CubeCart by far is the most cusomizeable with some great features and is a great buy for the money."

"I used this cart for about a year and I had my fair share of problems with it. It's buggy and you need a lot of extra work to customize the look and functionality. The features offered are very basic and you need to add a lot of 3rd party mods(which are not free) if you want more than the basic stuff.
I would not recommend this cart, currently I'm looking for a replacement."

"I was impressed with this cart until I found out I could not actually add it to my site unless I knew some coding. This is not for the beginner unless you are willing to let the cart act as your website. I could be wrong on this, but customizing it takes more knowledge then the average Joe knows. I would have given it a four if I could customize it without extensive html knowledge."

Out of the box the features are basic, but it's very extensible, although that will require some technical skills. One great feature is that it's fully XHTML/CSS and uses a powerful templating system. That should make templating a breeze. Why more carts don't work this way is beyond me! |
