MTS Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/18/2016 "Helped me build a e-commerce site for the people in my natives" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Spree Commerce? I'm still a student in college so for me flexibility and ease of use are top priority. The top features of most e-stores (product pages, payments, etc) were in-built as packages. This made implementation very easy. Sometimes I needed extra features and this was made possible through installation of plugins. Open source feature of Spree made customization possible and the code being very well defined was a plus point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spree Commerce? Documentation is sparse. Thankfully, the code is clearly defined. The software seems to be out-of-date as far as the packages are concerned. The features of the store I built went out-of-fashion at some point and we decided to do away with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spree Commerce: I would suggest to use other products like Shopify. Spree is certainly good but there are many products that are better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spree Commerce solving and how is that benefiting you? My natives is a tiny little village. The people are good at handicrafts and hand made products. This store I built for them helped sell their products to people all over the state (I could get the rights only to sell in that state) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ML Michael L. President Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/7/2015 "Spree is best for advanced Ruby on Rails development teams" 2/5 What do you like best about Spree Commerce? As a Ruby on Rails developer, Spree is probably the best RoR based solution available in the e-commerce space and offer a fairly easy to setup and configure approach for those familiar with Rails development cycle. It can also be extended through a number of engines and plugins but be forewarned that unless those extensions are extremely popular, you may have to fork and upgrade to work with latest Spree yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spree Commerce? Spree isn't the most intuitive e-commerce solution to use and if you're training non-technical staff to use, expect a fair amount of hand-holding as you teach your team about taxonomies and product variants and how to correctly set things up to offer correct pricing and desired options at checkout. Spree is flexible enough to handle nearly any scenario, but that power and flexibility also means complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spree Commerce: Unless you're looking for a lot of flexibility and self-hosting your e-commerce site, I would highly recommend implementing Shopify before Spree. If you have a database of thousands of products and you need to automate store-front population, then Spree is a good choice in this scenario. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spree Commerce solving and how is that benefiting you? Spree provided a quick way to get a full shopping cart experience set up and working in a self-hosted environment and integrated with Paypal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Full-Stack Developer Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/4/2015 "Spree, regrettably one of the best e-commerce storefronts out there" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Spree Commerce? Spree is highly customisable and has a long history of users and is widely used in production in several highly successful stores. It comes with all the things you would expect from a modern store, and is neatly packaged as engines separated into different gems, which each handle separate parts of the business logic. Spree is also easily extendable through plugins, which can be found for most normal demands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spree Commerce? Deface. Extending/Overriding methods through class\_eval. Having used Spree since 2.0-stable, the upgrade path has been nothing but trouble for our team. Because of client demands, we have to make changes to the layout, controllers and models through a combination of deface and class\_eval, but this essentially makes Spree impossible to keep up to date. Spree also accepts pull requests way too easily, and upgrading to a new minor version regularly demands rewriting of entire components. This got to the point where we decided to throw out our entire application running 2.1-stable, and replace it with a fresh install of 2.4-stable and then redo all the custom work, because it was actually saving us time. Still, we're now back where we started – stuck with a Spree installation that we can not feasibly keep up to date without major work. Spree also does a lot of N+1 queries out of the box, and up until recently didn't have any decent fragment caching built in. Now, with Solidus (http://solidus.io/) being released (a fork of Spree) I'm eager to make the switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spree Commerce: Look at Shopify or Solidus instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spree Commerce solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Spree as the e-commerce backend for highly popular web stores. We have had to customise big parts of the application to meet our needs (for example writing components in JavaScript and Backbone.js that integrate with the Spree API) and are considering doing the whole frontend in Ember and only communicate with Spree through the Spree API.

When it comes to an eCommerce opensource, According to me as a ROR developer Spree will be on the top. It has all basic features and easy to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spree Commerce? Support for the gems and addons which is been lacking a lot in past months. Few dependent gems are getting outdated. Spree group should consider this.
