I was fascinated at the depth of options available with this software. It was easy to use and reliable as well. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I don’t use SmartStore.NET regularly but there was a client of mine that insisted I use it for her project because she was already used to the backend operations and needed continuity. That’s how I realized how much of a good software it actually was. It has a very responsive shop system and supports many languages including English, Germany. It is built on open source software. It was very easy to use and readily scalable. The interface is as good as any other e-commerce shop software and the transition is very smooth. It’s Inventory Management, Catalog Management, Channel Management, Customer Accounts creation capability, Data Security, Email Marketing support, Returns Management, Reviews Management, SEO Management, Shopping Cart management etc. were as good as most popular e-commerce service providers. The WYSIWYG editor makes it easy for a newbie to create any shop thus nullifying the absence of HTML and CSS knowledge. #### Cons It is not a very popular software. It is difficult to migrate to from other e-commerce platforms. The payment system does not support the local currencies of many countries. Information and help about the software on the internet are sparse even though it is open source. I feel it is expensive. --- ### Endless customization - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andre M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Luxury Goods & Jewelry - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. More user friendly, better design, better adaptability and a good ending. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The Smartstore platform has an incredibly good aspect and design, was easy to change colors and logos. Having a .NET bacground was one of the reasons we chose, because we could add some extra coding to some features we wanted. But its customization of products (attributes, specifications, tags, grouping) is endeless and fitted wel on our products, specially on watch parts. Importation of hundreds of products, following CSV instructions was successful! #### Cons Is is a little bit hard to change all the lists (payments, counties, taxes), very exhaustive. And the migration from local machine to a internet host was also difficult. When not in cache, .NET is sometimes slow. #### Reasons for choosing Smartstore .NET technology, open source to extend features #### Reasons for switching to Smartstore General shops never have adapted to us, and niches do not take advantage of them. --- ### Solid e-commerce platform - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Renick B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have never very big issues with Smartstore. It just worked. But because of the pricing we will not work with it anymore. Also the software stack is quite uncommon for an e-commerce solution. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Smartstore has a lot of features. For the user it is easy to use. We used previous products from Smartstore before, and all of them were reliable. The Smartstore community seems may small, but is strong. #### Cons Smartstore is quite expensive. The pricing model is intransparent for customers evaluating it (hidden prices on homepage). Also for smaller projects and companies the community edition may be too limited. For larger budgets it will be a solid platform to built on. #### Vendor response Hello Renick, your rating of 3 stars is unfortunately not what we are used to. We take very conscientious care of our customers and partners, so I would like to address what you are criticizing. You write "I never had any major problems with Smartstore. It just worked," which makes us very happy. Cost shouldn't be an issue either, as Smartstore is proven to be one of the best performing store systems on the market in terms of value for money. On the other hand, price is a relative thing if it's worth it, because fixed price and agility don't go together. In addition, Smartstore is open source and therefore free of charge. Costs only arise when support or individual developments are added. Your statement "The software stack is also quite unusual for an e-commerce solution" is not comprehensible. Smartstore is a Microsoft ASP.NET Core based system, what is unusual about it? We serve the high-end enterprise segment with our system and these companies are very happy with the "software stack". However, I want to thank you for your review. Not being noticed at all would be much worse. Replied December 2022 --- ### Perfect solution for either B2B and B2C - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Goran V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As a programmer I'm allways astonished how the system was well designed. Enterprise Edition has exactly everything you need for most demanding customers. Even community version very smoothly runs 10.000+ products, all kind of combinations, variations, bundles etc. We usually implement the system for mid companies (100+), integrating their local ERP with Smartstore.net and they are wery satisfied with solution. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros In most projects we had problems with product variations. Smartstore covered 95 percent of our needs. I'm allways surprised when customer asks for some obscure feature and then I realize that there is nothing to code - it's already implemented. #### Cons Integrations to some payment gateways or shipping services weren't implemented at a time we needed, but community growths constantly so, i guess it will be solved in near future. #### Reasons for switching to Smartstore 1. Asp.net 2. Endless list of implemented features 3. Reliability, scalability and robustness --- ### Smartstore - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
