Getting Ready to Launch New Site: Thoughts on These eCommerce Solutions?

Discussion in 'eCommerce' started by AJWoods, Mar 29, 2012.

    Hi All. Soon I'll be launching a new website that sells skateboard decks, trucks, wheels, etc. and I wanted to get some opinions on which shopping cart is the best choice before I commit to one.


    Some features that are important to me:
    • Useful reporting tools
    • SEO friendly
    • Strong support
    • User friendly
    • Easy to manage promotions
    • Multiple shipping options
    • Multiple payment gateways

    After doing some research I've narrowed down my list to these platforms:
    • Volusion
    • Lead Commerce
    • 3DCart
    • Magento

    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Thanks for the replies.

    @orangegirl: CS-Cart seems pretty full-featured and it looks like the payment/shipping provider integration is seamless. What have your customers said about CS-Cart? How is the speed?

    @cutesathya: good points. Agreed that customer usability is HUGE.

    @rashida: I just demoed some ecommerce software at leadcommerce.com and 3dcart.com and really liked what I saw but I'll give AJ Shopping Cart a shot. How easy is it to customize and skin?

    Thanks Nigel. I don't know too much about opencart, but from what I've read about magento, I'm a little concerned about the loading speed & customization/skinning. Have these not been an issue for you?

    Yes, magento is not a ton of fun to deal with if you are not well versed in it for the above reasons. Opencart has a much lower learning curve but comes pretty close to Magento in terms of a free but enterprise level solution.

    Magento needs a tuned server, and specific adjustments to run smooth. It also needs a lot of tinkering to work properly and every release has a swarm of bugs. Aside from all that it works and works well if you put your due time into it.

    Magento is rather good, I agree, but CS-Cart is easier to install, has a better code structure and lot of modules included into standard price (which is one time fee!). That is why I chose it, not Magento.
