Avactis is the perfect choice for most online shopping websites

I have been extremely happy with the Avactis software which we are using on our website. Not only is it an extensive shopping cart and cms system, its also backed by a great support team which assists with custom add-ons and bug fixes effortlessly and promptly. For a faction of the cost of many similar systems, Avactis is the perfect choice for most online shopping websites.

The cart is quite flexible and easy to customize for those who want something that is more or less plug and play

by: Don

I've been a user of the Avactis Shopping Cart since the very early days. I think it was version 1.8.1 that was the version that first went live for me. What attracted me in those early days was the flexibility of integrating the cart into my own design aesthetic. I was not forced into color or layouts that every other user of the cart used. The store/s that I created could be unique and designed to be best for the target customer. As the cart has evolved, I've sometimes struggled to keep pace. I'm 61 after all! But, every question that I've had has always been answered quickly and with the respect and clarity that is so often missing in today's tech support responses from other companies. On the few times that I've had an issue that have caused a usability issue with a few customers, I get a solution back very quickly. It probably helps that I'm very detailed in what happens and the steps to take to reproduce the issue. I've had a couple of things that the cart couldn't do 'out of the box'. But Avactis came up with a solution and proposal for custom programming. They installed and tested the custom programming and it has worked flawlessly since. In short, the cart is quite flexible and easy to customize for those who want something that's more or less 'plug and play'. Where it really shines is when you don't mind getting a little more involved and want to bend the cart design to you rather than the other way around.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Avactis to anybody wishing for an easy to customise feature rich ecommerce solution.

by: Ted Thompson (GoblinRidge.co.uk)

After reviewing many ecommerce systems on the market we decided to go with Avactis as the main ecommerce shopping cart offered by our company. The ease of integration into an existing design is what really sold us to Avactis and so far we haven’t been disappointed. The Avactis tag system is very intuitive and easy to understand, after a short learning curve it is a breeze to integrate Avactis into pretty much any design you want. The simple integration also enables a quicker time to market which always goes down well with our clients!

Not only is Avactis easy to implement but it is also brimming with features and functionality that far surpass other products on the market that are demanding a much higher price tag. The online store has all the latest bells and whistles and the odd feature that may be not present will most likely be in development as Avactis are constantly striving to enhance and better their product.

The admin backend is simple, easy to use and cleverly laid out, making light work of every day store management tasks. Beginners and IT professionals alike will find managing Avactis a piece of cake.

Overall, the design flexibility, comprehensive feature set and a sensible price made Avactis the obvious choice as the mainstay of our ecommerce operations. We would have no hesitation in recommending Avactis to anybody wishing for an easy to customise feature rich ecommerce solution.
 

Would highly recommend Avactis to anyone serious about making their e-commerce project a success.

by: Hunter Frazier (Myruca.com)

After testing a number of different e-commerce software solutions, I must say that Avactis is the best out there. Avactis software is easy to use, highly customizable and has all of the advanced features that website's need to be competitive in today's e-commerce market - such as SEO-friendly URLs, easily configurable page titles, and CMS-driven content.

Their customer support and community forums are a really helpful as well. My questions and concerns are always addressed promptly and thoroughly. I look forward to using Avactis for all of my upcoming e-commerce projects.

Simply put - I would highly recommend Avactis to anyone serious about making their e-commerce project a success.
 

I would recommend this cart not only from the designers point of view, but also from the final user once the cart is done.

by: Patricia Molina (Dotlines.com)

After trying other shopping cart solutions I found Avactis and decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed is that I could actually modify the template the way I wanted. Once you understand the tag system, you can design and then implement it without modifying core files.

The other thing was the support. I had a cart that needed some custom features and used a particular payment module that was not integrated. My experience with the other carts support was just through forums, or by trying to find a programmer that was familiar with it. That works sometimes, but it's not very reliable. And if you are pressed in time, it's not the best solution. I contacted Avactis support and they developed the custom features and the module, very quickly, I later had some problems with the payment integration because of a server configuration, but I had them check on it to make sure that it was not the script. They were alway answering within the day, and I had the peace of mind that I had someone working on my side to resolve the problem. They were very helpful and made and extra effort to help me determine what was wrong.

For me as a designer with limited php knowledge it is great that I can offer modifications to my clients and have Avactis programmers do it in a way that I know it's going to work without problems. They really know their product and the solutions are well integrated.

I would recommend this cart not only from the designers point of view, but also from the final user once the cart is done. My clients have told me how happy they are with the administration. It is very powerful but easy to use.
 

Best tech support amazing product

by: Sean R. Forrest

This is a great shopping cart. What makes it a spectacular shopping cart is the outstanding tech service they provide. Everything I needed was handled very fast and they are super polite. I would recommend this product and the people who support it to anyone interested in a shopping cart.
 

All in all the system is excellent and does more than what it says on the tin

by: ThemusiciansZone.com

I purchased Avactis to create an online ecommerce system for my new website www.themusicianszone.com. I read all the details regarding the shopping cart and thought it sounded like a good cart to try and maybe buy. Little did I know that upon installing it there were a ton of other features that I didn't know about. One of the main features I use on a daily basis is the reports section that allows me to see who is on the site, what they're looking at, any carts abandoned and the top referrers without leaving the site. It also allows you to fully customise search urls which was another big bonus. All in all the system is excellent and does more than what it says on the tin. Well worth the money.
 

Very impressed, not only with the cart functionality but also the service I received from the Avactis team with setup and configuration

by: AppletreeCreative

I was looking for a new ecommerce cart provider so I decided to try Avactis. Very impressed, not only with the cart functionality but also the service I received from the Avactis team with setup and configuration. If you are looking for a cart that you can customise to make your own I heavily recommend Avactis. If you are a html developer it is so easy to create a template and make use of the Avactis tags. Also the backend information is great for seeing when customers are online looking at your store and getting a feel for popular items in your store. Fantastic, very impressed.
 

I've found the system unique compared to other cart systems

by: Chris Rycroft

I've found the system unique compared to other cart systems out there. Being a established designer, I've found tag system they use is brilliant way of incorporating a full cart system into each of my custom designed sites everytime. I would have no regret in recommending Avactis to anybody who is wanting a great shopping cart experience.
 

Great job!

by: Edwin

After finding out how your system works I need to say it is a lot easier to integrate my own design. Before was also easy but more time consuming. Great job!
 

I am very impressed with Avactis's ability to integrate a shopping cart into my own designs

by: Lydia Lyn

After using many shopping cart systems I am very impressed with Avactis's ability to integrate a shopping cart into my own designs. It has all the features that you'd expect. It's definitely the best Shopping cart system I've used so far. Two thumbs up!
 

Knowledgeable support and reputable ecommerce solution

by: Mindy Lepp

I have used Avactis for building my client's ecommerce websites and it has worked wonderfully. I searched around for multiple shopping cart software packages and one of the most important facets to me was the customer service. Whenever I ask them a question, they are actually knowledgeable about their product, which is refreshing! I have experienced too many support teams that didn't know their product well enough to help me or I knew more about it than they did! As far as security, as long as you get an SSL certificate along with your reputable ecommerce solution, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Oh, and may the Lord bless you!
 

Avactis Tag system easy to understand and customize

by: Jeff Wolsky

This being my first e-commerce site, I found Avactis Tag system easy to
understand and customize. Avactis is allowing me to help my clients
compete on the web in real time without having to pay thousands of
dollars for just the development work.
 

SEO friendly shopping cart, we are very happy with Avactis

by: David Fox & Family

Our cart is now more user friendly than our last system, and more SEO friendly.
We recently went live, and we've noticed a jump in our search engine stats,
and have received orders from new customers coming in from those searches.
We are very happy with Avactis.
 

We achieved a lot with Avactis

by: Majek Adega

The problem is that we do not like Magento. We used Avactis before and
achieved a lot with it. We have sort of given up on our dream because
the Magento is extremely slow.
We have decided to return to Avactis!
 

Excellent product and support, awesome

by: Mindy Lepp

Avactis has been an excellent choice for shopping cart software. I am a web developer and had been looking for something to offer my clients in the way of shopping carts. I had tested 2 other carts out before and was very disappointed with them. My faith in shopping carts was pretty low after my most recent bad experience, but Avactis far exceeded my expectations! It was very, very simple for me to integrate it into my client's website design. I also highly appreciated the online help available. They have user manuals and help links all over the place. What I am most impressed with, though, has been their customer service. I have emailed them on a number of occasions asking to correct little things or just how to customize the cart even more. Each time they were prompt, knowledgeable, and helped me until the job was finished. Being a web developer I have come across too many support teams that either didn't know what they were talking about or told me that it wasn't their problem to deal with. This is not the case with Avactis' support team. They have been a breath of fresh air! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great shopping cart to implement into their site.

I am so pleased with the way Avactis works ...

by: Jenny

Hi there, this is Jenny from www.alderwoodhampers.co.uk in the UK and I'd just like to give you a bit of feedback from our site - built with Avactis!

I added a couple of products to my catalog about a week ago, and used some quite specific keywords in the SEO part of the catalog. Today we had so many hits on our site that related to those keywords (that were not used anywhere else on our site), I couldn't believe that my site had been located so quickly via search engines! So I can only attribute this surge in traffic to Avactis! I am so pleased with the way Avactis works, so thankyou guys for the great software - and way to go!!!

Best regards
Jenny

PS - also many thanks for the tech support you guys have recently provided!!!
 

Avactis ecommerce : Easy integration, smart tag system, good backend

by: dvector

Pros: As a web designer I can't highly praise this solution enough.

The beauty of the Avactis ecommerce solution in my opinion is the smart tag setup. Store blocks can be placed anywhere you want, and are easily enough modified for a truely customised solution. If you have an existing website this cart can be moulded to fit seemlessly.

If you are setting up a new website then this is the most flexible cart you could go for. It fully supports CSS layout and comes with a site template which essentially you can base your entire new site on, literally you can be up and running and selling within a few hours.

The Admin backend is spot on. Every new user I have introduced to the admin area have commented on how comfortable they are to add/edit products and manage the day to day activities of running an ecommerce system. Its obvious a lot of thought has gone into this and a variety of video tutorials are included.

An added bonus is the Avactis support team, on the few times I've contacted them the response has been really fast. The online forum is thriving too.

All in all I highly rate Avactis and I see it fast becoming a leading cart solution.
 

Great product, good price, easy to use

by: davlev

Pros: Adding products seems quite easy, payment options is great, the Froogle integration/csv output is just hands down awesome. Tags work perfect.

Cons: Interesting coding (fake PHP within templates as a find/replace type system), but I understand keeping modifications 'in house'. It's not horrible on that aspect, just a head scratcher in a few places. But the team was very helpful and responsive.
 

Great software with outstanding support and easy customization

by: Lavern Gingerich

Pros: There is a great support and development team behind Avactis. They treat you as real people. If you are serious about developing e-commerce sites and need someone to go to with questions on customization and further developments, you should definitely consider Avactis.

Avactis is quite professional in design and programming.

It's also the best I have used in customization. You don't need to know much PHP to insert the tags into your existing design and totally customize the look and feel of your store-front.

I am glad for the day I discovered Avactis. It's a wonderful product that only keeps getting better.
 

Great Flexibility + Great Customer Service

by: creaetiveforces

Pros: I purchased this cart and then had Avactis do so customization to it. We were been very impressed with how quickly they executed everything. They were very professionals and we truly appreciated it.

Cons: Any cons I came across I emailed Avactis and they fixed them literally right away.
 

Avactis shopping cart is by far the easiest cart solution I have worked with

by: Craig Paterson

Pros: Avactis shopping cart is by far the easiest solution I have worked with and I am sure, in time, will become even better. The additions talked about in the forum for future inclusion sound excellent. Very easy to integrate into an already existing website. Customisation of various parts of the cart are relatively straightforward due to be being broken down into small components. The developers are also very proactive at helping with providing a solution to any problems you may encounter. All in all, a very good and reasonably priced solution.

Cons: Small niggly things like CSS code not being in one external file. I read on the forums that this will be addressed soon in an upcoming version though. This will make an already great product even better!
 

Working with Avactis has been a pleasure

by: hudlyn

Pros: I want to thank you for your help. I was following your progress and knew that this was a challenge. Thus far, I have to admit that working with the Avactis team has been a pleasure. Be sure that any future client of mine that require a shopping cart will be using your software.
 

Simply the Best!!

by: cmebd

Pros: Have tried and tested many a shopping cart - have even bought a few (but not using any of them)......

This has to be the best available shopping cart, at the most reasonable price for the functionality and customisable interface.

These developers know exactly what they are doing and nothing seems to be a problem for them. Development is continuing and based on their clients' requirements and requests.

There is nothing that I don't like..... When I click on a country I get "that" countries States - don't have to scroll through 300 US states when I live in Australia.... this is a definite bonus for me.....

So easy to install and implement - being able to put up a store in 1 to 2 days (more if you want to customise it extensively) You can't ask for more.

I highly recommend this product to anyone - beginner, developer even my grandmother would be able to manage this one - don't get me wrong - it is a fully fledged shopping cart with the majority of the bells and whistles and what is not there is in development!!

Cons: It hasn't quite figured out the content I want inserted into the website!!!
 

Easy to implement & great customer service

by: olga-kasimov

Pros: It's was easy to integrate the shopping cart into the existing web site. Effortless incorporation of payment gateway. Also it allows a lot of customization. And they have great customer service!
 

Very easy to use, integrate, setup etc. And very powerful.

by: Chinboy

Pros: When looking for an easy eshop-solution, I spend many hours on the internet, searching for one that fulfilled my needs, and demands for the product - Which was: Easy to integrate to my existing website, Easy to use and understand, Easy to install, and easy to design the way I wanted it to. Also the cost of it, should be affordable, but with everything else - the cheaper it gets, the lower quality. But this is'nt the way round, for this product - And I found that only one product was really reaching my needs/demands. Avactis have made this awesome product, and it ended my search on the web, with a big relief! Soon I had a new eshop up and running. But that's not all.. The team behind Avactis, are very professional about their product, and their customers. If you have questions, or might even need help with doing something special - Contact them, and they'll help you instantly, with much joy for you as customer. It's really nice to see, a team like them, fulfill their product with such a great service for their customers! - Only thing I can say to you, if you search the net for a solution, to your eshop: If you try this product out, you will be much more than amazed! I know for sure, It'll end your search right here. Have fun with it :) - Sincerely a happy user, of Avactis Shopping Cart.

I found Avactis to be the easiest, most complete ...

by: Davlev

I found Avactis to be the easiest, most complete, 'out of the box' type storefront software out there, at a great price. While there were some interesting coding things (find/replace <? php Somefunctionthatisntreallyafunction() ?>, that had me head scratching looking for the function structure ;p). But other than that, and a _ton_ of directory structures... It wasn't too bad.

What it gives you though is invaluable, a non-programmer easily able to create and change their store. Which saves me time and money smile.gif.

One possible addition, a php script to change the names to 'So in So's Store etc' from the 'Avactis Sample Shop'. Might be a nice 'change over', it'd also allow the Avactis team to keep the references they wish in place (copyrights etc)).

I'm happy with it though, and I'll use it for other clients, perhaps even start a shop myself.

You guys absolutely get 5 stars!

by: Linda

I will admit again ... when I heard about Avactis my attitude was yeah right ... how great can this be?

Goes to show how conditioned I was to work around or simply not working with a cart at all. Forums are the same in my opinion. A time wasting bust for designers.

I have been working with this cart now for over a month.
I have put it thru every design test I can think of SHORT OF really tampering with the original default code.

For those of you wondering why I chose not to do that ... the normal cart user will not be able to or care to do that so I wanted to press what was default to the limit. I did and guess what? Aside from some developmental issues being handled by the team ... I found no problems.

This morning when I dropped the designs into the new cart install I literally held my breath half way expecting to have to redo something. NOT ONE THING had to be fixed!

The install is a breeze for people with little or no understanding of complicated software installs.

For those experienced designers the complicated design manipulation will be left to you.
For those who want a quick fast design change the "store styles" are a 10 min. fix for the customer.

Avactis probably does not want to bother with design since they are up to their ears in development. That leaves design up to those who have fun at it and want to offer it as an option to promoting the cart and their own work.

Any customer who wants to start an ecommerce business literally overnight could do it with this cart.

To be honest I do not believe the average customer with no html, css or php knowledge could integrate this cart into an existing design easily if at all ... they would either have to hit the texts on how to or hire someone to do it for them.

With the store styles simply being dropped into an installed cart that problem is solved ... along with the permission issues from the past.

There is always going to be those who know how and want to hack system code ... the average customer IS NOT that person ... so since a good business objective is serve the many ... in my opinion this is the program that will do exactly that. biggrin.gif

For you business people out there?
No matter what you think ... your time IS NOT free ... it is worth money.
Do yourself a favor and give this cart a try ... in the long run I am willing to bet you will be more than pleased.

I would like to give Avactis 5 stars

by: mohammad

I have been web developing for quite a long while and would like to give Avactis 5 stars. In my many years of web development I have used almost every shopping cart on the market from Agora to ZenCart, and by far Avactis is the best and easiest for clients to use. It saves me quite a bit of valuable time explaining every aspect of the cart to the client, integrating into a custom skin is beyond easy. Overall its is extremely simple to use and work with.
 

Superior Customer Service

by: Chris

I want to brag up how great and knowledgeable the entire Avactis team is regarding this shopping cart. First off, you can give them FTP access and actually trust them to log in and fix a glitch (during beta testing phases) without worry of them trying to go through your system...these days that alone is unheard of! They get in there, get right to the heart of the problem, fix it in a matter of minutes and fix it in a way that it completely solves the problem without messing something else up somewhere in the shopping cart.

THAT IS GREAT!

They offer advice with the mySQL installs and also the PHP installs and tell you exactly what is wrong with that, if the problem lies there. These people are seriously knowledgeable about everything they do. I am used to dealing with ISPs and Microsoft who you can't trust over the phone let alone with access to a server you own. The Avactis Team just blows my mind that old fashioned values and customer service of this magnitude exist.

So GREAT to know there is a company out there in the world like this. I completely trust Avactis and have great faith in this company! Thanks Avactis team...your product outshines every cart on the web and is the only product I will ever use again. You have been such a great help with the entire process of this shopping cart, from install to full production. Never have I seen a company so great as Avactis!
 

Thank You Avactis Team

by: Elaine

I just wanted to say Thank You to the Avactis Team ... I am really loving your quick response time, and how you are so willing to delve into ones files to figure out a problem and to get it corrected so quickly. It is really fantastic customer service, and I can't tell you how much someone like me (a non-programmer!) appreciates it.

Thanks Again, Elaine
