Constant bug issues. Too much down time. Clients could not access the website for days. > > LOUSY. Unable to fix bugs in software. Cannot run a business like that and switched to another company that gave phone support ----- ### "Volusion has given us a great web site" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *23 January 2019* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The stability. There's never been an issue with connectivity. > > **Cons**: There are not very many options for offering my customers discounts. Coupon codes are very restricted. > > We have been using Volusion since 2011. It has never failed us. Never has a customer or a potential customer called with a complaint about any aspect of our web site. We have hundreds of products, and thousands of customers. It is so easy to create new products, new pages, new categories, and arrange them as I wish. Volusion ia also handling our PPC accounts, creating and maintaining ads, with weekly reports. Overall, I would recommend Volusion to anyone looking to create a digital storefront. ----- ### "Volusion works" — 5.0/5 > **Kimberly** | *14 June 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to help customers find what they are looking for > > **Cons**: setting up was so very horrid, total pita > > all of my sales go through it ----- ### "Great ecommerce platform" — 5.0/5 > **josh** | *06 July 2022* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a very easy to use platform that I was able to learn quickly and has helped me immensely > > **Cons**: If you're using multiple items especially in the hundreds plus I would definitely recommend the import export function > > I've had a great experience with a software I continue to use it to this day ----- ### "Very robust software but an outdated dashboard" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *08 June 2018* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about Volusion is that many of the features are automatically included in their packages. Unlike Shopify where you have to add other apps to do things you want it to do. We were on Volusion about three years before switching to Shopify and it wasn't our choice to switch. > > **Cons**: It wasn't easy for my staff to learn and the dashboard isn't very user-friendly or aesthetically pleasing like it's competitors. There aren't many free themes that make your site look amazing so you really need to pay for customization unless you know how to do it yourself. Also, downtime. It didn't happen often but when it did, you just have to wait until it comes back up. > > This site had a lot of features I loved and were automatically included. Multi-level pricing, customer ticketing, ability to receive multiple payments against an invoice. Features that I no longer have on Shopify or have to pay extra for. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/32398/volusion-ecommerce?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/32398/volusion-ecommerce) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
