    Cons
    Digital River
    • Their flexibility and customizability are lacking. Changes to our cart or store require a lot of lead time discussions and development time.
    • They have many strange UI implementations for things. One search bar is a wildcard match, while another is a string match. One setting might break your product, or be editable once, but you cannot change it after that one time.
