What our customers say

"CS-Cart Multi-Vendor platform is an easy to use software if you wish to start a marketplace of any kind. Buying Multi-Vendor is a million times better than building one from the ground up. After a thorough research for more than 3 months we were confident that CS-Cart Multi-Vendor had the most features for the price compared to any of its competitors. The Customer service team was extremely helpful and you also get 90 days of premium support after your purchase of the Multi-Vendor Plus which is what we got."
Pritish A.
E-Commerce Specialist
"We picked CS-Cart out of 8 different other software (including Magento) and I have to say it's the best decision we ever made. CS-Cart was so easy to install and configure, and great value for money without compromising on any of the key functionality, quality and reliability we needed. There are plenty of themes and add-ons to choose from as well as great built-in features out of the box - including SEO features which is critical for a high trafficked site like ours. The product is easy to customise and gave us endless possibilities with integrating with other parts of our site, such as community and CRM."
Phil K.
Founder and CEO
"I'm opening a very data-intense shopping site that provides a lot of product info. I love that I can move a lot of data around pretty fast and with ease of use. The platform takes minimal time to learn how to use. I really like that I can use this platform without much coding knowledge--I only use coding for tweeks to my individual pages."

"I really like scalability of CS-Cart. It was not overwhelming for me to use when I started few years ago, and now as we grow, we are still able to utilise its advanced features. Some solutions out there become restrictive after a few years, however, this is not the case for CS-Cart. It just helps business to grow and matures with it. Another important aspect of it is that it just works. It is very agile, robust, secure and intuitive for new members. CS-Cart team keeps on top of all the latest developments and therefore this solutions is very powerful, even just out of the box."
Masha S.
Manager
"Writing that something is the best always arouses suspicion, especially among people who have excellent knowledge and experience in this field. We have more than 13 years of experience with the CS-Cart eCommerce platform in the Serbian marketplace. The CS-Cart multi-vendor option is a powerful and user-friendly cart software solution in which all good experiences from individual CS-Cart software editions are implemented. There are detailed manuals and video instructions, not only for beginners, a large forum and active community, developers, marketplace, and a good help desk. User-friendly administrators mode allows easy and fast training of vendors for independent work."
