More Business Opportunities at Lower Costs<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Having an X-Cart<\/span> store is far more efficient compared to Shopify when it comes to the total cost of ownership. Though Shopify may be affordable at the start, the platform gets increasingly expensive with every app you buy \u2014 not to mention the recurring fees that can add up over time.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Note: Top Shopify features cost approximately $3600 per year, while the comparable features of X-Cart<\/span> Business Edition will only cost you $495 total.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t

Customize Your Store All the Way Through<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Did you know that you can scale up and tailor your online shop to your unique business needs with X-Cart?<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

With Shopify, it\u2019s next to impossible to fully redesign the product to your liking as the options for customization are very rigid or limited in scope.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Shopify just doesn\u2019t let you innovate. Aiming to make your experience as easy as possible, your customization options become limited \u2014 and without creativity and innovation, you can’t stand out in the selling crowd. Not much of an opportunity, huh?<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\t

Pros of a customizable eCommerce platform<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

With a customizable platform on board, it\u2019s you who chooses how to accept payments and ship products to customers \u2014 not your platform provider.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your choice will rarely be limited to the number of apps available in the App Store. Looking to set up custom pricing or try a new marketing trick? Go on, do it.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

While your out-of-the-box<\/span> platform may suit your needs at the start, you\u2019ll inevitably outgrow it. Flexible platforms like X-Cart<\/span> will evolve as long as your business evolves.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Integrating an open-source<\/span> shopping cart with other complex systems (e.g., accounting and reporting tools) is a piece of cake. Forward-looking<\/span> SaaS platforms like Shopify also offer ready integrations with such systems, but your choice is still limited.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

No specific restrictions on the traffic volumes, number of products, images and video content. Customizable eCommerce platforms, such as X-Cart,<\/span> are easily adjusted to your unique business requirements.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

X-Cart has everything you need to build a truly personalized shopping experience with a unique look and feel. You simply can\u2019t do that with Shopify, which is why the majority of their online stores look incredibly similar.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\t

Enhance Your Store With Ready-Made<\/span> Apps \u2014 or Code Your Own<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s an arsenal of apps in the X-Cart<\/span> marketplace to choose from. If you can\u2019t find exactly what you need, just code your own \u2014 we\u2019ll show you how. There\u2019s a massive community behind X-Cart<\/span><\/a> ready to help you develop your ideas into PHP code.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

While the Shopify App Store does offer a robust selection of integrations, many of the apps available on the platform are developed by side developers and are lacking in quality. And, of course, no customization is ever possible.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Shopify doesn’t have much native functionality, and you must pay for third-party apps for somewhat normal features. Naturally, third-party apps aren’t always perfectly integrated into websites.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t
