Elastic search

Elastic Search

ElasticSearch is a document-oriented database specially designed to store and retrieve structural, unstructured, geo, metric, or any other type of data.

By integration, ElasticSearch, Yo!Kart multi-vendor provides following benefits to an eCommerce marketplace:

  • Helps to manage a vast amount of data and fetch the required search query within 10 ms.
  • Can make geo-localized searches.
  • It can collect analytic information that assists while calculating the performance of the products.
  • It can scale up to thousands of servers and accommodate petabytes of data.

Concludingly, Elastic search is well-suited for faceting, evaluate queries, logging & analytics, migration, text search, and enterprise search.

CS-Cart

Elastic search is not included in the base copy (it is an add-on feature). Further, many business owners found its integration with the marketplace hard.

A multitude of essential eCommerce features like Elastic Search for modern marketplaces are offered pre-built in YoKart, but are not included in CS-Cart.

Yo!Kart's Multiple-Channel Support

Yo!Kart provides multi-channel support in the form of online chat, social media, email, text messaging, and phone.

Apart from above,Yo!Kart has its very own project management tool, “Bizixx”, that can single-handedly address all of the client's management-related requirements and issues. A client can directly assign any project-related task to the concerned person here and manage all the aspects of it.

Combining powerful communication features with project tracking capabilities, Bizixx has all essential functions such as budget tracking, account integration, file sharing, and more.

Multi-channel Customer Support, with the support of intuitive Project Management System (Bizixx), YoKart fosters client satisfaction and overall experience, unlike the support offered by CS-Cart.

Multiple support channels

A dedicated business analyst is assigned to the client who then communicates on their preferred support channel. We align all channels in union where clients don't feel like they are treated like a number.

A business owner wins over their rivals by investing in Android and iOS applications, as there is no guesswork that mobile technology presents an opportunity.

  • PWA allows the user to keep on browsing without an internet connection.

  • Cached assets reduce server load that leads to fewer data requirements.
CS-Cart

CS-Cart multi vendor gives only a buyer mobile app at a monthly subscription cost of $90. Seller App & Progressive Web Apps are not available in cs cart.

How Did Yo!Kart Team Decide the Price?

The Yo!Kart team's pricing decision was based on an expansive rather than an incremental approach. We began price-benefit analysis before the development phase and decided which attributes customers are most willing to pay for. We further did perceptual mapping and conjoint analysis to determine how much value each feature offers to customers.

Cost of Self-hosted Multi-vendor Marketplace Solution

Yo!Kart

Yo!Kart provides 4 pricing packages i.e. GoQuick ($1249 $1999 For Lifetime License), GoQuick Boost ($2499 $3247 For Lifetime License), GoCustom ($6249 For Lifetime License) & GoCustom Prime (Quote). All the Yo!Kart packages come with a Whitelabel web solution. The custom plans of Yo!Kart has a flexible payment policy allowing you to pay an upfront amount i.e 40%, and the rest can be paid after 3 months.

This allows an entrepreneur to start an online business with minimal investment effort. Furthermore, Yo!Kart offers a 30-days money-back guarantee.

Check Yo!Kart Packages
CS-Cart

While CS-Cart offers 4 pricing packages i.e. Standard ($1250/Year), Plus ($3150/Year), Ultimate ($6950/Year) and Unlim ($12500), and there is a clear difference in features and functionalities available as the custom design option is not included in any of these packages. Also, the basic plan ($1,250/Year) of CS-Cart is not Whitelabel in nature.

The most expensive package, “ Unlim ($12500) ” is the only one that has all the features. The remaining packages lack some of the features and functionalities.

Important Note: Yo!Kart base copy (GoQuick) has equipped with most of the features that are available in CS-Cart's Multivendor Unlim package.

The support of an in-house team gives businesses an edge with customization possibilities from a reliable and cost-effective single source.

What is the advantage of having in-house customization services available with the Yo!Kart solutions?

Customization services need an in-depth understanding of the software and industry expertise in translating client requirements into robust outcomes

An in-house team brings in experience and expertise in the software, making it best suited to deliver timely, predictable, precise, and value-driven outcomes.

Overall, relying on both software and services from a single source allows aspiring entrepreneurs or enterprises to focus on other critical business activities, and trust experts to work towards the final platform.

Why does Yo!Kart charges for updates while CS-Cart does not?

Because both solutions follow distinct approaches towards pricing their products. Yo!Kart follows a transparent pricing policy ― what you see is what you get. Unlike CS-Cart, Yo!Kart is available for a lifetime of use with a single payment price package(s). So once the payment is made for a Yo!Kart copy, the business owns it for a lifetime of use ― this also means that our clients have the freedom to choose whether they want updates or not. If they find additional value in the updates they can purchase it, otherwise they have already paid for the existing copy.

On the other hand, CS-Cart charges for annual recurring subscriptions, and also charges for update subscriptions, effectively asking you to pay more, even if the update may be of little value to you.
