anyone here use X-Cart?

I just started using X-Cart -- this is going from an ALL HTML web site to X-Cart.

My experience with it -- I have a PR5 web site with about 200 web sites I cross-linked with. Emmedietly, on the first day I went live with X-Cart, the search engines picked me up and about 80% of my pages got cashed. Of course, I implemented a site map and the site utilizes breadcrumbs so things were easy to find.

WHat are some of your thoughts?

PS: this shopping cart has TONS of mods you can buy.. its awesome!

I vote for X-Cart. I will look at CubeCart as well. X-cart is real good. I like it and 3 of my clients are using it and they are all very happy. 2 of them have over 100,000 in sales from Xcart powered websites and all is going well so far with a few customizations though!! Pretty stable for me.

I've been an active X-Cart user for the past 3 years. Actually our hosting company was one of the first hosting companies on their referral list. Currently hosting more than 200 X-Cart Gold stores.

X-Cart is a great product. Be sure to use the Catalog featuers, and edit your robots.txt file so that your search engines are pulling static pages rather than your php pages etc. Also, make use of that MetaTags etc in X-Cart.

Overall, a great tool. Never had a problem that couldn't be fixed, and the source is viewable (not encoded) so if there's something you want extra in the cart, and have the knowledge, a few php codes, a little bit of tweaking on the Smarty Templates and you're all set.

A little expensive these days at $185 (compared to so many other free carts), but the features are great, and it's stable! Well worth the money.

Conor

still using x-cart

I personally have no experience with x-cart, and have been asked to look at a site (for SEO) that uses this cart.

I am wondering if you still use this cart and if i should apply any mods (seems to be many) that will help.

TIA Ben

X-Cart SEO Software Mods

At WebsiteCM.com we've created an x-cart seo mod called Custom Dynamic Search Engine Optimization (CDSEO) for X-Cart.

With CDSEO Pro you have custom control over:

* X-Cart Urls
* X-Cart Page Titles
* X-Cart Link Anchors
* X-Cart Meta Keywords
* X-Cart Meta Descriptions
* X-Cart Index Page Title

The mod provides an integrated administration control panel including export/import of SEO data.

A good free solution for you to use for X-Cart search engine optimization (SEO), is XCSEO Basic.

You can see a rundown of SEO modules for X-Cart at x-cart-seo.net

I have recently been helping a customer with X-Cart - to integrate some non-X-cart modules into her pages. It has been pretty difficult. Interface somewhat clumsy IMHO. It seems to have functional bases covered ok though.

I am not an expert in it - but my initial impression of X-Cart has been that it is OK - but could certainly use some polish.

I used Cubecart for a short time and it was ok but I dropped it due to the limited layout options.

I then tried Squirrel cart. This cart has a nice admin side but again the layout options are a down fall as you can not have the items that are on the side bars moved to the content area "you can only move them from sidebar to sidebar" the click to view larger images opens in a new window and not a pop-up window. Also you can not change the folder name Squirrelcart meaning that it appears in every URL of the products. once you buy it "no demo" you only have 14 days to return it if it does not work out.
The upside is if you return it they do not have a issue refunding your money.

I then went to X-cart... It rocks but you must make sure your host supports it as not all do. I had to change host due to X-cart needed ionCube and it was not installed on the server.

I still run X-cart and love it..

Jon.....we seldom like it when people do self promoting however in this case I'm glad you did. My client was really struggling with his developer and support. I sent him to you and your team got him up and running on the SEO module in less than 48 hours and the price was fantastic. Thanks for the great modules, suggestion and job well done!

@europa, in that case, you may enjoy XCSEO Advanced or XCSEO Pro. They both have a better price to feature ratio than competing products (at $79.99 and $119.99 respectively), and I have several customers that left both CDSEO Pro & DSEFU Pro to use XCSEO Pro, and they all say they're happy for the migration.

Additionally, while I have customers that have switched from the competing products, I have yet to lose a customer to the competing products

Contact me anytime you'd like, I'll give you a demo of either product. It's best to use the Contact Us form available at PHPSiteSolutions.com

Cheers!
