The two biggest hosted shopping carts (or e-commerce platforms if you want to impress girls) offer incredible feature’s, years of development and award winning customer service. This review will have to look at how each feature is implemented to split the difference.
Price
Both offer free trials. 14 days for Volusion and 15 days for BigCommerce.
Both start at $24.95 a month – Volusion hide the link in the footer which always concerns me. Neither charge transaction fee’s – take that Shopify
Setup Cost:
Big Commerce is $49.95 to Volusion‘s $49.00 – not worth mentioning except that some Volusion fan boy will cling to it and mess up my comments.
So what price difference’s are there ?
The basic (cheapest plan) at Volusion allows 25 products and 1 Gb or data – BigCommerce give you 100 products and 2 Gb data
On price BigCommerce trumps Volusion.
Look and Feel – Front End
If you have a designer on board that is going to customize your shop or integrate it into your existing design – skip this section now. I am going to say some truly awful things about the templates in Volusion and if you aren’t going to use them you might as well save yourself the blushing.
