One of the top reasons we like CoreCommerce is because of all the options they offer. They don't offer just one coverall package that is meant to meet the needs of everyone, but instead have 5 ecommerce plans for you to choose from.

Whether you sell home-made chocolate bon-bons, manage a thriving online auction seller site, or produce a plethora of great products, you have the tools you need to make a quality, attractive, and reliable online store through CoreCommerce. Take advantage of all their shopping cart service features for a very reasonable price, and be assured they will be there to help when you need it.

A much better product than the previous one I tried. They have been fantastic. Great support team (especially Terry) who has helped me every step of the way. With my previous provider I had downtime issues, with CoreCommerce no downtime issues plus they are hosted at Rackspace.

The software is solid. Has all the bells and whistles you need to run a store. Bottom line is I can thank CoreCommerce for increasing my store revenues. Take a look if you need a good estore solution.

CoreCommerce is made by SumEffect, who in 2001 came out with their first cart, digiShop. They're located south of Nashville, in Franklin, which makes them local to me (not that that really matters – it's just cool.) I find their prices not too hard to deal with after all their benefits:

• The best thing: it took me 2 seconds to figure out how to skin the cart. You only see the template files, so you never have to dig through a bunch of junk
• Free trial for 15 days. I like the fact they let you see if you are going to like the software or not before you spend a chunk of money on it.
• They host the cart for you on RackSpace.
• No installation of anything or even FTP uploads, it's already set up for you.
• Awesome free phone, email and IM support. They fix bugs quickly and even offer emergency 24 hour support. The guys there are very awesome and helpful.
• Social media integration.
• Very zippy between pages.
• Nice layout, new versions are in very clean, semantic HTML code.
• All the files are hosted on their servers, so when thy upgrade, it upgrades your cart automatically.
• You can suggest new features that they sometimes integrate in new versions.

Of course, nothing is perfect and neither are they. There are a few minor things that bug me such as:

• It's not free, prices depend on what package you select (yeah so I'm cheap)
• Since all files are hosted on their server, you can only change template files, therefor no heavy php modification to the actual workings of the cart.
• Some of their old templates are still in tables – but I'm told they're busy converting them.
• Their backend admin can be a bit overwhelming at first look for non-tech savvy clients.

If you're wanting to do heavy modification to a cart, and/or don't want to pay a monthly fee or have it hosted for you, SumEffect still offers their first cart called digiShop, starting at $350.

I haven't tried Volusion or osCommerce, but I've heard some nasty things about them. I've yet to hear anyone really complain about CoreCommerce and I've done several sites with them already. I tell the agencies I work with to check them out, as the price is definitely worth avoiding the headache.

CoreCommerce stands out from the crowd and has some distinct advantages over BigCommerce. It seems to be one of the best ecommerce solutions around, especially now that they offer unlimited bandwidth on some of their packages, and do not charge me any transaction fees.

CoreCommerce is a great starter ecommerce shop. It has a nice store setup wizard, simple templates, and includes hosting. My only main issue with CoreCommerce is the fact that they don't have an abundance of templates to choose from. This stinks because I don't love the color pallet of the templates provided.

Here are my likes: No monthly transaction fees, multiple package levels, one page checkout, easy to customize, fully packed with SEO and marketing features like Facebook integration, search engine friendly code, and that stuff.

Here are my dislikes: Can't host it myself, can't integrate a blog (to my knowledge), I guess that's about it.

All in all, this ecommerce software has a high rating for a reason.

Truly amazing customer service, a great product, and I'm selling more with this ecommerce platform than I did using my previous open source software!!! It's worth the monthly fee because I sell enough to more than cover my costs!

I use CoreCommerce and it is great. Got rid of the bandwidth fees of volusion and moved to a system that has the features and support. I just wish I found them years ago ;-)
