    At least in retail, I would only recommend using Weblinc for merchandising and uploading products.

    Cons
    VTEX
    • We were never able to delete categories/subcategories. And because of this inability, it was often difficult navigating the back-end. If we accidentally deleted a category/subcategory, it would create a problem on the front end.
    • Creating discount codes was a nightmare. It was easy enough to create, but the text/description area was so sensitive and often had a mind of its own. This sensitivity created problems on the front end as well, ranging from incomplete text showing up to the products tiling all in one row. Also, there wasn't an easy way to create a "complex" discount code (complex defined as any code that wasn't a % off)
    • In general, it was very buggy. We were constantly opening tickets.

    Return on Investment
    VTEX
    • WebLinc solves ecommerce as a turnkey solution, avoiding the need to hire-up a department to build/manage this aspect of a business.
