3DCart Review

Hundreds of clients ask me whether 3DCart is right for their business. The answer is very clear, 3DCart is right for any type of business that is looking for a quick way to start selling online. It’s ease of use and features make this shopping cart one of the best. The shopping cart has adapted well to the changing ecommerce industry. It has also introduced the new 3DCart version 4 which brings additional features and 10 new templates.

3DCart fairs well against it’s major competition, edging out several shopping carts. However, BigCommerce, Volusion, and Shopify still stay on top when it comes to eCommerce

Our 3DCart Review 2013 will go over the basics for this shopping cart and even show you some pros and cons about the software.

Template Selection

You have over 60 free templates to choose from. I was a bit surprised that they would have that many professional looking free templates. Many of the templates do not need any updating other than putting in your information and such. Considering that there is over 60 templates, there will be something that matches every business in some way. If you cannot find any templates that you like, you can purchase premium templates starting at $99.
