Upgrade Policy

CS-Cart is constantly developed and elaborated. And we regularly release software updates that offer a range of improvements addressing everything from security and performance through to search engine optimization enhancements. Updates are thoroughly tested and quality controlled providing you with stable, tested performance enhancements that continually decrease your long-term total cost of ownership. Moreover, with updates you get new features delivered to your store.

Owning a CS-Cart Store Builder license grants you the right to run the software on a server for an unlimited amount of time. But you will be getting updates for free for one year only after the purchase. Then, you can prolong access to the updates by purchasing a one-year upgrade subscription plan on the Licenses page in your personal CS-Cart Help Desk account.

CS-Cart Multi-Vendor On-Premises annual license grants you the right to run the software on a server for one year. Updates are included into the annual license. A Multi-Vendor license is automatically prolonged annually by withdrawing the cost from your assigned credit card.

CS-Cart Multi-Vendor No-Code monthly subscription grants you the right to use the platform for one month. Updates are included into the subscription. A Multi-Vendor No-Code subscription is automatically prolonged monthly by withdrawing the cost from your assigned credit card.
