Great cart, but not very beginner friendly.
Reviewed on 2018/03/10
Pros
The cart is open source, so it is perfect for those on a budget. Once you get it set up, adding categories and products are fairly easy, just a bit time consuming.
Cons
I run my own social network, and I couldn't set up ZenCart myself. I had to pay a friend to do it. There's just so much work involved with settings and criteria that needs to be done that it was overwhelming for a first timer. A clearer, more concise back end would be a wonderful thing.

Excellent ECommerce Solution
Reviewed on 2019/10/31
It has been an excellent ecommerce solution for our campground and I am very happy.
It has been an excellent ecommerce solution for our campground and I am very happy.
Pros
I have used this software for over 5 years with a client and it has served us well. Each year, I load in the new events for the summer camping season and add links to the separate website. It is quick, provides a quick and easy way for our customers to pre-register. I am so glad I decided to go with this 3rd party software than trying to set up my own system.
Cons
I have not found any cons. I have had to troubleshoot customer orders or different features but there is a rich and diverse support system from other having similar issues.

Free and Highly Customizable, but Needs Advanced Setup
Reviewed on 2021/12/02
Pros
The software is completely free, and also not too difficult to install.
It is also completely open source, so the customization options are endless.
The developers do update it regularly.
It includes everything necessary to start your online store/ecommerce business.
There are many modules you can add to it, to apply any feature your business might need.
Once set up, it is easy to use by anyone
Cons
Broken code requires time intensive debug, and once in a while things may not work perfectly together.
Some of the features that can be added with modules could just be part of the default experience, in my opinion.
Setup requires some technical skill, but again, it is free.

Great Open Source Shopping Cart!
Reviewed on 2017/06/15
Pros
Once you have it downloaded & set up. Functionality is fantastic. You can see behind the scenes. If a potential customer calls and wants to know if their order went through online (because in reality it did not), you can actually see where the breakdown happened & what they had in their cart even if they were shopping as a guest. The program definitely requires a learning period but it is worth it.
Cons
Requires a good amount of tech knowledge. If you are not tech savvy or don't have someone that is, then this is not the way to go. You will only get support through the forums & "tickets". There is no phone support.

Just what I needed for small, straightforward sales.
Reviewed on 2017/06/08
Pros
Open source! I will always choose an open source option first if it is functional. Zen cart does everything I need .
Cons
While it's not really a drawback, you need to make sure you know what your doing and can install Zen cart properly on your site.

This is a great software when building new eCommerce web site.
Reviewed on 2017/11/17
Pros
I'm a web developer and most of my clients uses Zen Cart. I recommend this to them compare to Magento is because its easy to manage the code and databases. It has also a feature where you can run the query directly to the software and not going to the host web site to run it there. What I love most is that, you can create your own html files with out touching the original files. Zen Cart will automatically detect the new created files and use it to run. It really easy to customize the software base on the customer needs.
Cons
At first, it is really difficult to understand the layout of the software and where to locate them. But as soon as you get used to it, it will be easily.

New technologies are coming and this is past
Reviewed on 2018/10/01
Pros
By the first time, seems easy to install on your application, but bug solving can be a problem.
Cons
When I faced bugs with this platform or needed to migrate to another platform, it wasn´t easy to get data from it.
