Hello I am new to forums, but I am looking for a bit of help. I want to move away from the current out of the box ecommerce solution that I use to something that just gives me a bit more. I have been impressed with Volusion and i am thinking of moving to them. Does anyone have experience of the system. Is it easy to use? Is the support good even in the UK? Is it good on SEO? IS it stable? Also does Volusion allow you to easily get at data. At the moment I have to print off spreadsheets from my software and manually enter how much stock has been sold each month in to Quick books. I would really like a piece of software that integrates with an accounts package of some kind. I am not a techie, but have successfully built my store in out of the box package before, so would like a similar thing. I look forward to hearing your views and thanks for your help. Thanks Sarah
Hi Sarah, Welcome to DP. I used Volusion about 18-24 months ago. For the money, I was not overly impressed. I then moved to a private web design company, and once again I was not overly impressed for the money. I then switched to CubeCart which is free....$89 license fee if you want to remove their copyright at the very bottom. They have a support forum which I have found most helpful and there are plenty of free and low-cost mods that will help you do just about anything you want if the feature does not come with CubeCart.

Thanks Jim Just taken a quick look at Cubecart. It looks quite complicated, i have very few web programming skills. Would i need a developer? Can i ask why you were disatisfied with Volusion? Personal e-mail if you prefer, if that is possible. Thanks Sarah
Hi Sarah, If you have no programming skills, you might need some help with CC. I do have some programming skills. I found CC no harder to program than Volusion and I could save the $79 a month Volusion was charging. Jim
Have you seen ecommercetemplates.com?? It is a very good shopping cart... I am knowing a developer who had setup a site for me. Please take a look and let me know if you like it..
I don't know if you have made your decision or not, but I'm a current Volusion customer, and you can ask your questions about Volusion to me. I'll be happy to help. I have also written a detailed review about Volusion All-in-one Ecommerce Solution. IMHO, it's one of the best solutions out there for the price. Let me know if you have any questions.
You may try Avactis Shopping Cart. It has very easy to use admin area and they provide free versions. I like it because Avactis allows easy storefront design integration.
