To sum it all up, when you choose a shopping cart for creating a marketplace, you need to consider the following points:
- Who will own your business?
On purchasing a
CS-Cart Multi-Vendor license, it will be all yours with no time limits. Meanwhile,
Mirakl will have your business, and you will lose it once you stop paying the fees.
- How many features the software has out-of-the-box?
As we have seen,
CS-Cart Multi-Vendor has more than 500 features out-of-the-box. It is difficult to talk about
Mirakl as there are no any lists of features available for customers.
- How much will it cost to run and manage a successful online business?
CS-Cart Multi-Vendor costs $1,450 USD for lifetime.
Mirakl needs about $495,00 every year to be paid for running a business.
CS-Cart Multi-Vendor allows you to make any modification at your e shopping mall, integrate any application, or payment gateways, or any other system you need, to play with a design and so on.
Mirakl does not.
Objectively, Mirakl software is intended only for a certain circle of persons who have the largest budget for their business. CS-Cart Multi-Vendor covers all types of business, regardless of who you are - a startuper, an entrepreneur or a large retail company.
CS-Cart Multi-Vendor has both - local markets for family business, for example,
Yumbles, and a huge shopping mall at the type of Indian market
Shopclues.
