Volusion is a cloud-based ecommerce solution from the company of the same name in Austin, TX. It features an intuitive dashboard, built-in marketing and promos, SEO, templates, and tools to customize look and appearance.
We selected Volusion originally because of the price point, but we had NO IDEA how much we would be spending in excess to actually get the functionality that was sold to us by their salesmen and women. We are switching to BigCommerce this spring.
I've also used Shopify as a base platform, as well as Magento. Both are better. My company has looked into moving there twice since I've been here, and the only thing stopping them is the complications of making such a move. I think Shopify offers similar value for the money …
Again, we work with all of these platforms, not just Volusion. However, we do make recommendations for Volusion based on the size of client and the need for additional customization and tuning. For clients who lack major development resources in house to maintain a platform …
Volusion provided the best overall list of features, performance history, and bang for the buck. By not being the new kid on the block, they have worked out a lot the bugs and kinks that plague many ecommerce platforms. They've also refined a system that is very user-friendly …

We use Yahoo for our wholesale division and I found it to be very difficult to use and their customer support was terrible.
In comparison, we selected Volusion for our retail web store because it was much more intuitive, gave us more design options and the customer support was …

Volusion blew Miva out of the water. Magento allows for more customization without having to use 'partners' which helps keeps the cost down but requires a great deal more technical knowledge to create and maintain.
Volusion makes the creation of a store a simple process even for a beginner. More importantly, for advanced users it allows to work fast, efficiently, and with efficacy due to its bulk import/export functionality. Shopify is aesthetically pleasing and Magento is an open source …
