Comment on BigCommerce vs Volusion by chet dzura

Each of the suggested programs offer quite a few features. But – the most important and the least addressed is the Cost of Shipping.
Many products are shipped in one box. But many are shipped in multiple boxs due to size and weight.
NO ecommerce software is able to calculate the cost of shipping 1 item that may come in 2, 3 or 4 boxes due to dimensions and weight that are different. Some say they achieve shipping cost with bundling. Others suggest add cost of shipping to product which does not address the difference from a local to a distant destination.
If and When a ecommerce solves this problem than I could see rated as the best on the internet

Good review. I agree about the inability to access source codes etc, but I think the average user will love Ashop as I have for the last 2 years. Sure, you can’t customize how a line or a dot appears on the checkout, but for the cost saving and the level of flexibility, it will definitely cover the majority of users. This is coming from my experience paying a fortune to a developer a while back! oh well, live and learn

I would recommend Volusion to anyone! We have an online store with around 2000 products through Volusion and we have never had any issues that tech support couldn’t fix in just a few minutes. The support from them is incredible, not to mention in english. If you are thinking of starting an online store, Volusion is the only way to go!

I have recently had the most horrific experience with this Russian Company who produce Cs Cart. I have proof for everything I say. Firstly their major releases are bug ridden, as many people suggest purposely as they want you to buy their expensive support. Everybody who uses CS Cart soon becomes aware of this. In my case over the Xmas period their support staff entered my code via FTP without my permission (they had FTP access for another prior problem), they subsequently damaged my site and left it, they then refused to fix the damage they caused insisting that they rolled back the changes and that my site has been extensively developed and therefore I should get a specialist to fix the problem. They just refuse to fix the damage they have caused. I have a back up of my site taken on the 25th Dec 11 and my site Cat Promotion functions were fine, on the 26th after they accessed my Code my site was damaged. Nobody but CS Cart Support had access to my site. This Company has a custom development dept (they pass you on to them after deducting support tickets each time you have a problem, invariably they tell you that your problem is not covered in Support, that you should consider their custom development and ask if you would ike to be redirected to get a quotation – they also deduct tickets even for the quotations they give you – so what trouble would it be, yet they simply refuse to repair what they have done). So I am left during the SALE period without a developer and my site damaged. This is the sort of Compamy you will be dealing with. I would happily explain to every single person in detail why they should avoid CS Cart. Get involved with CS Cart at your peril. I am still shocked at the treatment I have received from them. I have also of course been kicked out of the forum when I posted my experiences with them. They are faceless so naturally they believe they can do what they like without consequence.Please please stay away from CS Cart.

Their credit card processing went out on Thursday December 22, 2011, which means my Volusion store can NOT process credit cards during the Holiday season!

Right now it is December 24, 2011 and our store still can NOT process credit cards. Their support does not provide any answers or solutions, the problem has NOT been fixed, and Volusion does not any plan in site to fix the problem. They blame it on someone else of course, but I hold the person who sends me my merchant services bill responsible, which is Volusion.

Their support is horrible, and does seem like a bunch of high school kids who try to give you some IT dribble that offers nothing in the form of support or problem solving. They used to be good, I don’t know if they had some personnel cutbacks in the last two years or what, but I would not reccommend Volusion any more.

My New Years resolution is to find a new web hosting company for my e-commerce store.

I have simple needs, an e-commerce provider whose Credit Card servers don’t go down, and allow my customers to buy things. Imagine your store can’t run credit cards, and the people in charge of support do nothing about it.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I know it starts at $29.95 but do you know what the price range looks like? Wondering how high it can get up to?

I’ve had great success with Volusion. I seem to show up well in search engines and have had good performance. Since the recent release of their content distribution network (CDN), my sites have been blazingly fast. What it does is host your images on servers all over the world and then serves those images from the closest server to your visitor making your site really fast.

While your sourcing and acquiring your products you could start working on your site. It takes awhile to get everything set up properly and you’ll be ready when the time comes.

Ron– Hello Ron! I wanted to know how your business is going since opening it up online with VOLUSION. I am seriously thinking about starting an online business and picking VOLUSION as the main core of starting it up. I also wanted to know if you have any tips that may be able to help me in my venture. I currently don’t have any products generated, so i’m not exactly sure if i am supposed to do that first or start on my site first. Any tips you can share with me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
