Frequently asked questions
What is CS‑Cart best suited to?
Traditional online stores and multi-vendor marketplaces. It offers strong out-of-the-box functionality, a no-code layout manager and open access to the source code, so it can be customised heavily.
Our CS‑Cart version is out of date. Can you help?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons clients contact us. CS‑Cart releases around four major updates a year, and staying current matters for PCI compliance if you take payments online.
Can you work with our designer?
Yes. We do not rely on pre-existing templates or themes – CS‑Cart sites are coded from the ground up, so designers keep full creative freedom.
Can CS‑Cart handle multiple languages?
Yes. We have developed multilingual CS‑Cart stores and use native speakers for translation so content reads correctly in each market.
Do you offer ongoing CS‑Cart support?
We offer support plans and ad-hoc support, covering version updates, theme compatibility, optimisation and day-to-day fixes.
