cleverbridge vs. ShopBase

Cleverbridge is well-suited for big companies that have a client base and want to start online. If you have a wide range of products, and you sell worldwide--where different languages and different settings are needed for each region--then Cleverbridge is good solution. If you just want to start selling with limited stock and with couple of product types only in one region, then it's not good idea to begin with Cleverbridge.

ShopBase is always there to help if I have an issue, and they also offer helpful ideas for building and optimizing my store.

• Excellent partnet
• Terrific at subscription software
• Excellent security and uptime

• Helpful materials
• Supportive team
• Affordable apps

• Because of the many different settings, it becomes hard sometimes to set everything up
• The slow system can take up to 10 seconds to save something

• No free plan
• Need more apps
• Limited themes

Usability is native, but the system is complex. It has a knowledge base, but who reads that, right? So without explanation, sometimes it's hard to understand how to move and set things. But as soon as you get it, it's not a problem anymore. There are 2 major things, which keeps me from giving a higher score: 1 - Delay in time when making changes; can take up to 2 sec when opening a product, and 10 secs when saving a product update. When you do several updates, it is time consuming; 2 - A lot of settings, which also in the end becomes time consuming.

DR Waco e screwed up the company when we worked with them - they didn’t like customers - I know that sounds odd but it was true and their software was dreadful

Shopify apps are diverse but not consistent and costs a lot to build a store.

• We couldn’t have done this on our own
• They provided cost-effective eCommerce for us

• Save lost sales
• Reduce cost
• Take less time to manage
