    Ashop Commerce brought together a top class product with personalised support. Of all the products I have looked at over the years this was by far the easiest one to use. I loved the range of free templates and the SEO functions - my rankings have just got better along with my sales. All in all Ashop Commerce shopping cart is a solid product and I highly recommend it.

  • Stay away from Magento! Its a nightmare! Its full of bugs and you must update it every week when a new patch comes out. Also when you update (witch isn't an easy task) some features may break. Performance is very poor (unless you have few dedicated servers just for your site). I think CS cart is the best solution. There is a free version that works very good for small and mid businesses. If you need more you can get the pro version (295$) and offers tons of more features from the other "stock" shopping carts. PrestaShop and OpenCart may look "free" but their plugins are very expensive. So better pay for a CScart license and get all of the features at once.

    As a web developer who works for a company that deploys low cost solutions for small and medium sized businesses, CS Cart has been my go to ecommerce platform. Great features and easy to modify from a developer perspective. Great support as well. Keep up the good work CS Cart
