Big Cartel vs. MyCommerce

It's well suited for simple e-commerce and basic inventory management needs.

Incentivized

DR doesn't work well with PayPal subscriptions, renewal rate is very low. So, if company is using a subscription model it should have another payment system as a backup

• It's very easy to use and does not require a lot of configuration or setup.
• It has been extremely reliable. Clients never have issues with purchasing from it and it has always has been up for us.
• It's very fast. It loads quick both on the consumer/front end and also admin/backend.
• Pricing model is flat, not percentage of transactions.

Incentivized

• Almost fully customized templates
• Very simple subscription flow
• Allows to generate license on the fly using callback to back-end server
• Very good technical support

• For our needs I really can't think of anything!

Incentivized

• Definitely need Web-based API to manage subscription including changes in renewal date
• Add more languages (especially Arabic)
• Redirect user to PayPal directly without entering to shopping cart

DR is good enough and it also depends what's the company goals. DR solves a lot of problems for company and it saves money in some cases.

We are using Stripe as alternative solution for some categories of users and as a backup. Stripe has much more flexible API but less flexible template customization.

• The basic plan at $10/month easily saves us that in time from having to manage our own e-commerce system on our own site.

Incentivized

• Works well with credit card renewals
• Strong fraud detection system (very important)
• Doesn't work well with PayPal renewals
• High enough fee
• Overall DR is good in this area
