Recommendations to others considering Volusion:
This is a simple cart with everything you need to get started in e-commerce. It's scale-able and reasonably priced. It still holds a strong place in the market for quick setup, support when you need it with most of the tools you need. No blog is available for Volusion that you can embed but there are workarounds for that using Article pages, it's just a little more work.
If you need more advanced marketing tools like lots of shell game offers for your clients you'll be fighting the limited feature-set. What it does it does well and the pages always load fast, much faster than most Shopify sites I see even which is a huge part of the customer experience.
I have clients I consult for that do 10MM+ on Volusion yearly and it works very well for their businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Volusion solving and how is that benefiting you?
Other carts can be overly complex. Volusion is a great solution for companies that are in a niche market that aren't super competitive and you just need a stable cart. You can hotrod Volusion to be fairly competitive if you know how to do it. It will never be a Shopify or Magento type solution but you won't spend an arm and a leg on developers which is nice. Volusion can handle pretty much everything for you to help get started. Great beginner e-commerce platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
