CS-Cart Multi-Vendor vs. Yo!Kart

Great for a quick and easy setup of a multi-vendor solution, supporting multiple stores / languages / payment options. Will probably need some tuning if you have 1 million products or so. Great if you have a PHP dev or team, probably not the best option if you don't know the language and need to customise backend logic.

While
searching for the most reliable and promising multi-vendor ecommerce solution,
I came across Yo!Kart from Fatbit Technologies. Before making any
purchase decision I needed a few clarification on their packages and hence I
took contact with one of their sales team member, Ms Kulwinder Kaur. She was
extremely helpful in clarifying most of the doubts I had and she also went
beyond by connecting me with Mr Kapil Grover (VP – Partnership and Alliances)
who made sure all my queries were answered. After a few conversations with
them, I knew my project would be in good hands and hence decided to move
forward with the purchase. My project was handed over to Mr. Abhishek (Project
Manager) and I am so grateful that he was the one assigned for it. Mr. Abhishek
is an extremely dedicated individual and I have developed a very good
professional relationship with him throughout my time working with Fatbit. He ensured all my issues were solved
immediately by maintaining a professional communication throughout. I am
extremely thankfull to him for all determination and extra effort he put in to
ensure my platform was top-notch. He definitely deserves to be promoted for all
the hard work he puts in!

• Providing individual sellers more access to their customer's contact information.
• Update their documentation to reflect recent upgrades.
• better support for Third Party Integrations.

The software consists of most of all e-commerce related features. Also, there are plenty of third party addons are available in the market which can improve our business. There are a lot of powerful themes available in the cs cart market which improve the look and feel on the front store. If CS-cart adjusted the price on their software license cost, controlling the third party addon cost and provide more freelancers with cheaper hourly rate for the customization on the cs-cart multi vendor software, the cs-cart company can be a master among other e-commerce software companies in the world.

I've had very good support over the years. They've helped solve some issues here and there that were difficult to track down. Thumbs up.

Mostly extremely easy to implement, both back-end logic as well as styling. Great addon marketplace helped, particularly around payment options.

For big vision in doing something in online marketplace, I think CS-Cart can help to scale up and run business smoothly. CS-Cart started their business in 2005 and since [then has been] running successfully worldwide. It means they have a large scale of experience in implementing online marketplace based software and we can rely on them.

We chose Yo!Kart over CS-Kart because Yo!Kart is an all-in-one package. We do not have a dedicated software development team that would be needed for customizing CS-Kart. We chose Yo!Kart over Shuup because Shuup does not support a multivendor market that offers both physical and digital download products at the same time.

• From an investment point of view, it is naturally much more profitable to purchase CS-Cart Multi-Vendor than to assemble a team of developers and try to create such a platform from scratch.
• Creating a marketplace is a rather risky business. If you don't know a lot about marketplace building technologies, consider investing in a different business. But if you have already decided on the idea, and all you have to do is find a suitable platform, then CS-Cart Multi-Vendor will probably be a profitable investment. And if your sales go at least half a year after purchasing this platform, then you will quickly enough recoup these several thousand dollars.

• It has allowed our vision for a resource marketplace to become a reality.
• We are below our budget estimate for the project development.
• A negative impact has been the long development process.
