3DCart offers a variety of support options including training videos, PDF tutorials, a knowledge base, an online ticketing system, forums and phone support. It has been my experience that 3DCart has very good, helpful and prompt technical support. This is one area that 3DCart is above the rest.
The 3DCart forum is an active community that you’ll be able to find answers to your questions and problems from other merchants. This is also a great resource to look at when evaluating their software.
If you’re looking for shopping cart software that is easy to use and that has very good support look no further than 3DCart. They are definitely recommended for small businesses. At this point, it may be a stretch to use them for mid to large sized businesses. I invite you to write your own 3DCart review in the comments section below.
I spent 2 years working on researching my business idea and just reading, reading, and reading more about how to do things. I then decided to use 3dcart as my service provider and to this point I can easily say that I’m 100% glad of my decision. It took me a while to get the hang of their system but now that I completely understand it I see how simple it really is – but I chalk that up to my newbie status in web design, etc.
The best part of things has been their Live Help option. My schedule is pretty wacky so many times I log in to work on my side business at weird hours. Whenever I’ve had to do a bunch of technical issues for which I’m nowhere close to qualified to perform – and that’s pretty often – I was able to just go to their Live Chat and instant message back and forth until I figured things out. I’d say over the last 365 days that I spent 150 of those days in a chat conversation with someone at 3dcart. I might be one of their pain-in-the-ass customers because I need lots of help, but it’s been invaluable to me and at a good cost.
