    The Multi-Store eCommerce platform is by far the strongest feature. Anyone who has a direct to consumer business and a business-to-business side should use cart.com. Also, if you plan to grow to a 7 figure business, it is best to start and stay with cart.com because Shopify will get ridiculously expensive as you grow.

    I think WebSphere Commerce is well suited for customers looking to sell products online that need robustness and scalability as a priority. It provides a complete order cycle out of the box, or you can integrate with your existing order fulfillment. Online shopping models like digital subscriptions or a marketplace are not well suited as it requires a lot of customization

    • Websphere commerce provides efficient contract based pricing. Contract based pricing greatly helps in handling prices for different business

    • Extended site model is one other strength of WCS as it greatly helps in having multiple e-commerce sites for different demographics, for branding etc

    Cons
    Cart.com
    • The integrations are good, but not great. Shopify is really good at integrations.
    • Tech support is fairly slow and it can take several days to a week to get a simple question answered.
    • Stronger reporting. It hasn't changed in the last 4 years.

    • The e-Marketing spots contain content associated with marketing activities to target customer segment - needs some improvement. The algorithm to set up the priority of each of the Web Activity with in eMarketing spot is little bit confusing.
    • The catalog load can be simplified.
    • WebSphere Commerce is a huge application - someone needs to spend at least 5-6 years to learn about the whole application.

    IBM Digital Commerce was a lot more customizable and had a good engine for us to make enhancements. We were not locked down to certain integrations and we were able to utilize a lot of the features outside of the box vs using a prescribed set of features and functionality that other tools would force us to use

    • For our clients in the apparel industry, the flexibility that WCS provides to scale up really helped their online business to grow tremendously.
    • Our client in the restaurant industry can't quite leverage what WCS has to offer though as it doesn't really fit their shopping model.
    • Another positive impact is that it allows our clients to streamline their commerce system in interacting with their backend.
