    Considered Both Products
    Volusion LLC
    Chose Volusion
    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.

    Chose Volusion
    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 …

    Chose Volusion
    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 …

    Chose Volusion
    I've recently reviewed other platforms and Volusion is one of the few that does not charge a transaction fee. Plus, it is competitive in price.

    Chose Volusion
    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 …

    Volusion offered a better price point for nearly identical features.

    Chose Volusion
    I liked Volusion better because it has less options which makes learning easier. I think Magento is better for large stores.
    Incentivized
    Chose Volusion
    I would say overall Volusion offers very similar solutions to these other platforms. One of the main reasons I went with it over others was my experience working on Volusion stores for years before we opened our own stores and took on new clients. I'm comfortable with the …

    Chose Volusion
    All the other products looked like they would need a webmaster. I wanted something that a novice could use.

    Chose Volusion
    We use Shopify and while the monthly fee is slightly higher than Volusion, working within Shopify and the visual results you get...it's not even close. Volusion seems very outdated and overcomplicated, but looking for positives with Volusion, again, I'm paying an additional $40 …
    Chose Volusion
    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 …
    Chose Volusion
    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.
    Chose Volusion
    I've used Magento and Zen Cart. I think that Volusion is better for the nontechnical people and it comes with a lot that Magento would make you buy or code an extension for.
    Chose Volusion
    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 …
    Chose Volusion
    While k-eCommerce was very glamorous to us because it integrates with our main workflow, it just didn't have some of the marketing features that are so integral to the way we do business online. The set-up costs were also way too high. Volusion is so affordable and feature …
    Chose Volusion
    Sorry, I have not used another site similar to Volusion.
    Chose Volusion
    The choice is usually made by the time I get involved. They all have their advantages and disadvantages depending on the need of the business.
