X-Cart is an eCommerce and shopping cart platform built through PHP code.
If you're the type of person/business that allows systems and processes to run things while you help your business scale, then Feedvisor is the perfect solution for you. It isn't cheap, but it's easy-to-use and extremely effective. The best part is, they devote their resources and expertise to tailor themselves to your business as effectively as possible.
X-cart uses Smarty Templates in a PHP environment which means there are many developers who could probably pick it up relatively quickly to provide new features. The smarty template engine is very robust and well documented, and the cost of x-cart is very low which makes it easy for anyone to get started with their e-commerce business. It is a really great e-commerce software and suitable for every business. I actually cannot find any serious objection to what it does. They regularly update it, add new features, fix flaws, offer support. The software itself offers many integrations for shipping and payments, everything you need for sales. Although it covers many things, there will always be something missing, because many things happen in between customer visit and final delivery. Therefore, if you plan to expand your business, also plan to expand your X-Cart - but do not worry, it won't be hard.
The interface on the dashboards and reports are very user-friendly. It makes everything clear and easy to use, which helps us do our part to grow our sales.
We love the customized reporting that we get and the special attention from Feedvisor's staff to help us grow our business.
We get a lot of attention from Feedvisor to help us grow our business.
For everyone. From small to huge business you get everything out of box. Just setup company details, payment and shipping methods and you are ready to go.
Upgradable. There are many plugins one can integrate with X-Cart. Over time, many of them became part of the software, and you are one click away to enable them.
Well organized code. It uses Smarty template engine, which I find great, specially for debugging (famous Webmaster mode).
There's always room for improvement even in a great company... It would be great if we can have our system fully integrated with Feedvisor. For example, repricing Refurbished & Used conditions in addition to New.
Dashboards that tailor a bit more to your needs.
We would love to have the ability to 'Reprice' multiple products in 1 shot (without needing to import a file).
We would also love to be able to somehow have the actual shipping cost on the product based on previous shipments (pulled from Amazon's API) to tell us what the average shipping rate is for the product.
Suggestions that Seller Central give us to be given to us by Feedvisor - so that we're doing everything in 1 place.
Creating new plugins the way X-Cart wants is maybe not complicated, but hard to implement because there are no hooks. One has to manually change each file. This is similar to patching the core and therefore one has to know basics of web development.
Even if you get everything styled correctly with base skin, there is a bunch of unused styles you have to cope with. Start skin should be much cleaner. You may find thousands excess lines of code.
Flexibility in presentation as well as functionality
Full open source software allows for unlimited possibilities with the store function, though some developers who create modules do encode their modules which have errors in their code which therefore can't be fixed
A fully functional professional level application at a fraction of the cost of similar applications such as magento.
