Summary:

Perhaps the most important attribute of good shopping cart software is the information and help the application provides. The help is quite poor. They offer a help forum, which is designed to answer all your needs. Most of your questions go unanswered or you might get a poor response.

CubeCart’s most flattering feature is the price. There are few shopping cart programs available for less than hundreds of dollars. If you wish to have a professional and credible website there are better shopping carts to invest in. The bottom line is that you can get a lot better software and service for just a little more money.
