Cart.com
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.

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.

None of them did Multi Store platforms.

I don't want to knock other products but let's say that the more famous shopping carts, although they have great functionality off the peg, are limited in terms of branding ability and further customisation. Invariably you get a site which looks and feels like many others. This will suit many companies as a low cost option which is very competent. However the fully customisable front end that we need, and will continue to develop, is not possible with these turn-key solutions.
