Interspire is a great shopping cart. I am actually researching for a suitable shopping cart form my client, I have narrowed down to either Interspire or CS-Cart.

Thank you for the review.

Chris-

Any chance of a CS-Cart and OpenCart review? Surprised not to see either in your cart review section. Appears tons of people are talking about both.

Thanks much for your other reviews. Keep’em fresh.

Best,
Jack

Hey chris,

In your review you mention that the order messaging is now included in all the licensed version, however on their product comparison page, it still only shows it as a feature for the ultimate version. Are you sure it is included in all the versions?

P.S. I dont currently own a copy of ISC, but I am thinking of getting the professional version.

Well I been waitin for sevreal months now for interspire to fix some minor updates since 5.0, its now 2010 5.5 has been released with some disappointments! @Wei, I’ve actually checked out Opencart today and I was very impressed! Today I will decide with my developer which cart to go with interspire VS opencart, since he does all the programming I’ll let him choose based on what fits us better for the both of us. I’ll keep you guys updated and let you guys know what shopping cart I went with.. BTW, I want to send a BIG Thank to Chris for the very helpful review! A++

Wonder, another interesting option you might want to have a look is Opencart, very flexible, robust and simple to use.

For a single storefront, I would pick between CS-Cart and Opencart.

I need to find a multi-vendor solution. Anyone out there has any experience?

Well I am almost completed with my review and I can say CS-Cart is miles ahead in every area..

I am tempted to go with CS-Cart unless Chris comes up with something I missed on when we see his X-Cart review.

CS-Cart is very flexible and value for money where as you have to buy lots of add-ons for X-Cart before you can compare apples for apple.!!

Thanks Wei,

Yes, been doing some research and test and already CS-Cart is looking better than Interspire and X-Cart.

Their(CS-Cart) forum is very good and just a bit concerned about the level of support and responsiveness given the Russian element which I seem to have picked up from most articles I’ve read. However, none suggest that this compromises support in anyway regardless their location/origin.

I am hearing some negative vibes about X-Cart already, but will still check it out.

Like to hear what Chris has got in his review..!

Thanks for the review. I totally agree with you with regards to their product variation features. Very very awkward to use.

However, I am considering their multi-vendor solution, as it is the only one of the few out there in the market, and I don’t have much choice.

With regards to single vendor shopping cart, I think CS-Cart could be a very good option. Their product variation is miles ahead of Interspire.

Looking forward to your review of X-Cart. Thanks for the udapte on Interspire.

Any comments or feedback on CS-Cart from your experiences. I am also interested to see some review on CS-Cart but very few thorough reviews around.
