4 Crucial Reasons Why CS-Cart Clients Get Trapped!

CS-Cart is a box full of incompatible and outdated code, unending costs for basic requirements, and disappointing support.

No In-house services

Every eCommerce business is unique, yours is too! With impeding CS-Cart, you are confronted with a paradoxical situation as there is no in-house customization available. With your dream business idea at stake, you run helter-skelter in their “community” of third-party developers.

An ecosystem of bugs, incompatibility, and complexities

When you get trapped by CS-Cart, you are initiating a dependence on their entire ecosystem of third-party plugins, customization partners, and others. Since these differ in their point of origin, multiple issues of bugs and incompatibility are regularly reported by CS-Cart clients.

A doom-spiral of costs, bills, overheads

After purchasing a CS-Cart license, you will be stuck with inevitability of multiple additional costs of plugins, add-ons, basic integrations, various services, and a lot more. So, the ACTUAL COST of getting started with CS-Cart is much higher than advertised.

Negligible live cases with a fake portfolio

Despite a long duration of advertised online presence, CS-Cart portfolio has a number of eCommerce platforms that don't use CS-Cart. Their numero uno “client” ShopClues has MIGRATED AWAY FROM CS-Cart*. Will you survive CS-Cart shortcomings?

Get Yo!Kart

The inadequate software CS-Cart hides its shortcomings with a lack of transparency approach ― with several hidden costs, dependency on unregulated third-party developers, impediments due to bugs, and just 90-day customer support.

Yo!Kart, on the other hand, is transparent ― with in-house customization support, all advertised features are included in EVERY Yo!Kart copy sold, no hidden costs, robust system, and up to 1 year of technical support.*

Explore our diverse portfolio with global eCommerce platforms across industry verticals which operate with various business models.

*All price packages offer 1 year of free technical support except GoQuick and GoQuick lite―which offer 6 months.

Zero transparency in CS-Cart Live Cases

The real world performance of an eCommerce solution is a critical parameter for its accurate assessment. And to gauge that you will go through the portfolio.

Is CS-Cart portfolio ambiguous?

Let's analyze the first eCommerce platform in its portfolio: Shopclues. The much-hyped portfolio showcase is not even using CS-Cart. Similarly with Nguyenkim and HouseofCB. We leave the judgment of the rest of the portfolio to you!

To our surprise, BuiltWith Technology Lookup reports websites from limited countries. Moreover, since CS-Cart has no dedicated B2B solution, there is a lack of B2B marketplaces.

In stark contrast, Yo!Kart has a diverse portfolio of noteworthy clients covering countries in each continent, from matured economies to upcoming ones, and operating in various niches i.e. B2B, B2C, C2C, digital products, and more.

For instance, Procurenet is a Yo!Kart-powered B2B Pharma eCommerce marketplace. It currently hosts 2 million product inventories.

Pivotal Reasons for not choosing CS-Cart

The limitations of CS-Cart undermining long-term feasibility

The eCommerce industry is a dynamic and fast-paced space. For continued success, you need more than a standalone product, you need technology partners with 360 degrees of eCommerce expertise. Be warned that CS-Cart is an incomplete software with complex & unclear total pricing structure, however, Yo!Kart is a complete solution with transparent pricing structure. With Yo!Kart, you have the confidence of a contemporary product in every price package + the assurance of reliable customization + access to long-term services like digital marketing and eCommerce strategy development.

How can I customize my eCommerce marketplace?

Yo!Kart

The Product: Yo!Kart is a highly extensible eCommerce solution, based on a robust technology stack.

Customization Services: Yo!Kart is backed by the same team that developed the product. This is done in order to ensure that the clients get affordable and assured solutions, from a team that best understands the product.

CS-Cart

The Product: CS-Cart customization is difficult as it is built using outdated technologies.

Customization services: CS-Cart is just software, there is no in-house team available for customization. To customize your copy of the product, you will need to select between their community of developers, which is essentially a third-party source.

How difficult would it be to upgrade my product?

Yo!Kart

What are the upgrades: Yo!Kart rolls out comprehensive upgrades. However, since Yo!kart is built upon a robust core engine, these upgrades do not make the existing versions any less effective.

How are upgrades priced: Since Yo!Kart is offered in an all inclusive price package starting $499/lifetime use. These are future-ready and clients are not pushed for upgrading. However, if a client wishes, they can upgrade with the latest available release. Migration will be seamless and at industry-best rates.

Is upgrade installation seamless: Yes Yo!Kart upgrades are assisted by in-house experts. These have expertise in the migration process

CS-Cart

What are the upgrades: The only fast thing that CS-Cart does is crashing! Due to issues in its code structure, CS-Cart pushes minor updates that leaves clients with no choice but to update.

How are upgrades priced: CS-Cart's business model is offering a base copy and selling multiple add-ons over it. Similarly, upgrades are available only if you subscribe to an upgrade subscription, priced at $385/year. Astonishingly, this subscription only nearly matches Yo!Kart comprehensive single copy prices.

Is upgrade installation seamless: Multiple reviews point out flaws in upgrade installation. They say it is cumbersome and affects the system.

Will I need any technical skills to run an online business?

Yo!Kart

Short Answer: Not Required

The UX/UI of Yo!Kart is designed with user psychoanalysis and complete user empathy, which includes operations for the Admin. The workflows are logic driven and seamless. Everything is well organized in dedicated user panels with availability of help/tips. There is also complete support of documentation. This results in an intuitive and efficient user experience. If you can find your way around in popular software/apps, you will find Yo!Kart equally engaging.

CS-Cart

Short Answer: Probably Required

The UI/UX of CS-Cart is complex. The Admin of the platform has to learn to find everything on the system. The features are inadequate, requiring installation of third party add-ons for essential requirements. This further increases dependence, adds unpredicatability, and amplifies complexities. Unless the Admin has expert technical skills, he will find it overwhelmingly difficult to run the online business.

Both Yo!Kart and CS-Cart are self-hosted―Are they the same?

Yo!Kart

Since self-hosted solutions give complete control over eCommerce business ownership, user data ownership, ease of customization, and affordability with no recurring overheads, Yo!Kart focuses on giving its clients a ready-made solution.

Yo!Kart offers installation as an on-premises solution, or any cloud hosting services of the client's choice.

Pricing for Yo!Kart remains a one-time payment solution.

CS-Cart

CS-Cart comes in 6 plans. Only two are self-hosted. That too with multiple feature restrictions. The self-hosted version gives business ownership and data ownership. However, very surprisingly, the solution still levies recurring costs in various forms.

CS-Cart offers installation as an on-premises solution, or any cloud hosting service including its own.

Pricing for CS-Cart is subscription-based for 4 out of 6 packages.

To Conclude

An eCommerce platform is pivotal to business success. All business functions revolve around it. In CS-Cart lack of default features impact user traction, and operational effectiveness. Recurring costs undermine working capital. No efficient customization capabilities reduce adaptability to evolving market conditions and user preferences.

On the other hand, Yo!Kart offers advertised features by default with no recurring costs. It is reliable, customizable and scalable―securing your long-term goals. So choose wisely from the start—eCommerce migration can lead to business downtime. Also, by the time you consider migrating, your business may have already lost ground instead of competing effectively.
