Overall Satisfaction with Spree
Spree is a shopping cart and is used on our website Lovemomiji.com. We are an e-commerce business selling Momiji dolls globally from two hubs at the time of writing - UK & USA.
- Highly customisable. Allowed our developers to generate a unique and flexible front end and cart facility.
- We handle 2 warehouses and plan to add several more.
- We use 13 currencies to cater for our main markets.
- No particular weaknesses reported by our developers. They are using Spree on other sites too.
- Back end is visually ok rather than cutting edge design but functionality is all there.
- Spree is a shopping cart and so is back-office. The key point is that it allowed us to build a fully customised front end which has allowed us to increase sales dramatically as part of an overall marketing strategy.
- It is robust and copes with our peak loading.
- Promotions are flexible but may need initial developer input to customise for a particular business.
I don't want to knock other products but let's say that the more famous shopping carts, although they have great functionality off the peg, are limited in terms of branding ability and further customisation. Invariably you get a site which looks and feels like many others. This will suit many companies as a low cost option which is very competent. However the fully customisable front end that we need, and will continue to develop, is not possible with these turn-key solutions.
