CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Marketplace Platform vs Klarna Checkout

Likelihood to Recommend

For quickly setting up a most intuitive online marketplace, CS-Cart Multi-Vendor is the best one. The software is very well suited for those who have some basic knowledge about backend customization, installation, server setup, proper server configuration etc. Though I'm sure the support team will get you up and running. Only few third-party service providers are very professional, provide honest service and will help you to run your business smoothly. I would highly recommend to use CS-Cart Multi-Vendor.

Klarna is great for any retailer who is looking to offer payment options to their customers. It is primarily a resource for retailers, but probably not a good tool for people who work in different kinds of sales departments.

Customer support is terrible, getting an agent who fully comprehends the issue or who has any power to help is near impossible.

Based on 7 answers

The software consists of most of all e-commerce related features. Also, there are plenty of third party addons are available in the market which can improve our business. There are a lot of powerful themes available in the cs cart market which improve the look and feel on the front store.If CS-cart adjusted the price on their software license cost, controlling the third party addon cost and provide more freelancers with cheaper hourly rate for the customization on the cs-cart multi vendor software, the cs-cart company can be a master among other e-commerce software companies in the world.

Alternatives Considered

It's a one-time payment and the entire CMS is in your control, can list unlimited products and vendors. no need to depend on an e-commerce platform to pay huge commissions. promote your own brand globally. change the looks of your listing with multiple themes, there are vast add on and page themes to enhance look and controls.

They take a fee, larger than other systems do, so I do lose some money there.
I make more sales than I would without the payment option through Klarna.
