Reviews of VP-ASP Shopping Cart
Their excellence has kept me for years
Comments: I researched shopping carts for months before choosing VP Cart. They have calmly answered our "stupid questions" and provided great support from the beginning. From time to time, I have looked at other options just to see what new features might be out there. I always come right back to VP - often because I discover that VP does "that" too!
Pros:
VP Cart does everything I need. I can use it "out of the box" or customize to my heart's content. We managed it ourselves on 2 different web hosts before moving to their hosting plan. That's the best choice we ever made. The "most" liked feature is the ability to run two sites from one database. That makes running our sister stores much easier!
Cons:
Some days the control panel times out randomly; many days, we don't time out at all! Sometimes we lose a little work and that's frustrating.
Alternatives Considered:
VPASP shopping cart software
Comments: Had been using the software for a long time and each upgrade adds more great features.
Pros:
Easy to customize, price, customer service and support is excellent.
Cons:
The import export feature sometimes is not working properly. Selecting one by one orders to be processed without a button to select all at once.
VPASP - Powerful and Flexible Shopping Cart Software
Comments: Once setup, the VPASP Shopping Cart runs flawlessly with virtually endless options and products/categories. The one page checkout is appreciated by many of my customers.
Pros:
My company has been using VPASP Shopping Cart Software for more than 10 years. It has grown from a very good, powerful shopping cart to one which is extremely flexible and provides all functions an online store owner could ever want. Setup and implementation is quite straight forward, using the step by step online installation/upgrade program. It's a matter of answering a bunch of questions. Any setup problems are highlighted with solutions so you can easily make the adjustments necessary for proper installation. Implementing, featured products, menus, right and left columns is a matter of turning the section on and providing links to the product/items to be displayed. It is template driven for formatting or products. These templates are easily modified so you can get the look you want. All-in-all, an excellent shopping cart for those who do not have any programming experience. VPASP Customer Support is second to none.
Cons:
The latest Version 9, which is in Beta currently, has many added features compared to the previous Version 8. My one complaint is the new product entry page is not organized nearly as well as that which was in the previous version. I find it a little frustrating seeing as new product entry is one of the most used functions once the website is up and running.
Versatile and easy to setup
Pros:
Very quick setup, only took about 30 minutes to get the basic system up and running on a web server. The availability of the source code makes the system very customisable.
Cons:
I would like to see all personal information encrypted in the database.
