SimpleCart Review **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vivek M. | Manager of Data Insights, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2018 **What do you like best about simpleCart?** Just like any other e-commerce platform it is easy to install and simplicity in terms of use. Just order and pay kind of system. User or admin doesn't have to worried much about it. Again it is in Javascript so not much coding efforts for intermediate developer As it is simple solution you might not have to spend much amount of APIs and templates to configure and use which is one more plus point of it. **What do you dislike about simpleCart?** It would be great if it was opensource but it is not. That is one of the drawback. Also it is bit difficult to handle backend with API . One more drawback is security as it is developed in Javascript. Definitely it is not for beginners. It is bit hard to get proper documentation of this system and support as well. **Recommendations to others considering simpleCart:** If you are considering for simple place an order and do payment kind of system and no other fancy features and templates then it is worth considering simpleCart to implemet solution. But if you are looking to provide services like product suggestions , SEO , multiple payment gateways etc then it is not on top compare to other options available in market. **What problems is simpleCart solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was analyzing all e-commerce platform and came across simpleCart to implement our solution to sell canvas printed photographs and sell clothing and accessories. As mentioned in the positive sides its simplicity and ease of installation are major benefit of this system. ### 2. Was trying this out to implement in a personal site I used to sell homemade crafts. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tomer S. | CTO, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2016 **What do you like best about simpleCart?** The simplicity and the fact that it was very easy to set up and integrate. **What do you dislike about simpleCart?** The fact that it's written in Javascript makes it not very secure. While I can create a nice and elegant ecommerce platform, someone with a bit of front end know-how and skill could technically checkout with a shopping cart full of items for $0. Unfortunately, this was a dealbreaker for me. **Recommendations to others considering simpleCart:** Definitely take it for at least a test spin, it's a fun product and easy to integrate. But be sure this is the product you actually need. **What problems is simpleCart solving and how is that benefiting you?** Setting up an online store. ### 3. It was quite intuitive as a tool, both as a developer and as a end user. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2016 **What do you like best about simpleCart?** I enjoy the level of decoupling from anything backend, and just the general versatility afforded by the fact that it's in JavaScript. **What do you dislike about simpleCart?** I wish it was open source (if it is, I somehow didn't catch it from the website when I used it, so that might be worth clarifying) **Recommendations to others considering simpleCart:** I think, especially if you have your own backend, it's best to build some kind of API wrapper in JavaScript so instead of having to constantly bridge the gap between simpleCart and the backend, you have a consistent bridge of which the API is all that you'll have to deal with. **What problems is simpleCart solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm essentially solving two problems 1) getting eCommerce going for a business that isn't online-first 2) ensuring that the technology can be passed on to a decent web developer when I leave It's beneficial because of the general low activation energy in setting it up and maintaining. ### 4. E-commerce order system under control **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2016 **What do you like best about simpleCart?** Simplicity.. It's very easy to create a scope of an ordered products, display and manipulate with it. Like many others, I love to have system under control, minimize third party extension income and create best experience for the user. Web/App user doesn't need to know what is under the hood, he just want to use it, make an order and pay it. If SimpleCart is applied in the right way, it can fulfil all the requirements which are now stored in the more heavier and compex e-commerce systems. **What do you dislike about simpleCart?** Awful documentation ;). Sometimes is very hard to understand all the functions and parameters for the beginners. Also, simpleCart does not solve everything alone, but it must be always use with some backend to save, store, e-mail data. There could be a good activity to fill some documentation topics about it. **What problems is simpleCart solving and how is that benefiting you?** When the client desires simple ordering platform to sell goods, I always consider the simpleCart js as a first option. It's very easy to install and integrate. For the experienced javascript developer, it's the opportunity to create order platform in a minutes. And i find this very attractive ;) ### 5.
