Painfully Outdated, Just Waiting To Die

Painfully Outdated, Just Waiting To Die I've been working with this software for years, and with every year that passes, it only gets sadder. The code is written in massive, disorganized blocks. The logic and structure are predictably sloppy. The interfaces, both the front-end and administrative back-end, are clunky. And if you need any more proof this software is stuck in the past, the "updates" they sell you, you copy-paste them onto your site. You can literally get better for free. (See OpenCart or Magento for starters.) And this technical debt takes its toll. Should you wish to customize your site, you will discover: (a) There are precious few extensions in existence. (And don't expect them to be free.) (b) There are very few developers to hire. (c) Because of (b), there will be limited reference material, making development even harder . (d) Because of (c), development will more costly. Especially because developers have little incentive to turn any work on this platform into extensions. Don't jump on this sinking ship. It might actually cost you more than if you had nothing at all when you realize you need to get off.

14 years of using Ecommerce Templates

Having read a very negative review, I felt I had to give a counter opinion. We started using Ecommerce Templates software back in 2005. In 2019, we are approaching 25,000 products in our catalogue. We have a turnover close to £2m. I'm not here to pretend its easy - it requires a lot of time and effort, but thanks to the shopping "cart" software we chose, we've been able to build a deep understanding of the code and maintain it all in-house. That is the main attraction of Ecommerce Templates for our company - despite the feature list growing considerably since we first started out, the core logic in the code remains consistent and is accessible. Ecommerce Templates might not have all the bells and whistles of some of its competitors, but much of that is "eye candy" and in reality, does little to increase sales. What it does do, it does well. We've toyed with alternatives over the past 14 years but prefer the logical code which has not been turned into a monster through over development, the approachable, down-to-earth ECT team and the fact that we own the software. Here's to another 14 years and then I might be able to retire!

The best!

I have used Ecommerce Templates for almost 15 years and would never consider using any other shopping cart. Vince and Andy always respond quickly with any issues or questions you might have. The cart features and service offered is exactly what my clients and I need. New features are adding all the time. Thank you!

This is the 3rd redesign of my site and have used Ecommerce Templates for the previous 2, designing 1 myself with very little knowledge, the 2nd being developed and designed specifically for me by a professional developer. These 2 have worked really well and have developed in design and functionality to meet the growth of my business. Finally I needed to develop a responsive webpage that would meet the needs of modern computers, ipads, iphones and mobile phones. I decided to use the Responsive Design Upgrade Service offered by Andy at Ecommerce Templates and I must say he delivered a proffesional and effective website for the measly price of £378. This included the premium software and the labour required to complete the task. Having approached many companies to gather a number of quotes this service was by far the best option and having had many years of satisfactory support it was ano brainer. Thank you Ecommerce Templates (especially Andy).

Great value - good product

I have been a customer for the last 13 years. It was a low cost solution at the time when ecommerce was just blowing up. At the time I think Magento was the biggest hosted solution but they charge $50. I refused to pay that. I found ecommerce template, paid them a one time fee to purchase the template and I was free from having to pay anything for a long time. Like many others, I was able to find my own hosting company, upload the template there and start comfiguring. I stuck to their original template for a few years but decided to pay a developer a few hundred dollers to do an over haul on the site which made it more modern. This was the second time I had to pay. Recently in 2021, paid Ecommerce template folks for updating my sites to the latest reposnive css template. They were easy to work with, and accepted most of my requirements, It was enjoyable working with them. Yes there are other software out there that probably have more integrations and more features but at the end of the day you end up paying $600-1000 a year for that. With these guys, you pau $150 up front and you are set for a few years. All you have to do it upload some photos, write some production description and you are good to go. I recommend these guys and hope they stay in business.

Long Standing User Still Happy

We have been using Ecommerce Templates now for well over 10 years and have found them to be the best (and we have tried a couple of others). The templates and admin area are easy to use and the support forum is excellent. I've recently had my website updated so that it is mobile friendly and Andy has done a brilliant job with it. I was a little reluctant to get it done as our site is not your normal run of the mill type site, but fair play to Andy, he was super quick in getting things done, helpful with suggestions in how to make it better and the transition over was so smooth! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending ECT to anyone and we shall certainly be continuing to use them.

Great E Commerce Platform and Great Company

I have used ECT for a long time 110-20 years for multiple websites including both business to business as well as to the consumer. The software is clear and not difficult to work with. When I started I had no experience and their documentation made it pretty easy to learn. When I ran into things I did not understand the staff and the forum was a great asset. I have used developers and they have greatly improved my sites. Recently I had the staff at ECT help me with some issues I was having with my sites - PCI compliance, T-Hub interface with QB and more. None of he problems were caused by ECT, but rather T-Hub not providing any support and changing PCI compliance rules. I paid a little money but the service provided was great and the prices were less than if I hired a developer. MUCH LESS! So I will stay with ECT and continue to be a happy client.

Best Ecommerce Software by Far

I m a web developer andI have been with ECT for almost 10 years. The support team is quick to help and goes above and beyond always. The shopping cart is one I always recommend for its reliability, flexibility and support. Now that ECT also supports Wordpress, I don't know how any other software platform for Ecommerce can compete!

I used Ecommerce Templates for my online organic foods store.

I used Ecommerce Templates for my online organic food business for 5 years. Although we had to close it down, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Andy was great and always so helpful. For me it was nice not to have monthly payments and "own" the platform that my site was based on. Upgrades were always worth it and the changes were always helpful. I also found that the site was faster than woo commerce plugins through wordpress.

ECT is the key to my business success - over 10 years!

I am a web developer, and have been using ECT since 2006. That's over ten years of using ECT for every single one of my clients' eCommerce solutions. I have one client in particular, a dog training service, and with the help of the amazing ECT support staff, developed a custom database and hooked it in to the ECT code and database - and it's been running smoothly for over a decade. Not a single upgrade has failed. And the best thing about ECT, unlike some other "free" shopping carts out there, is that they stand behind their work - the forum gets questions answered usually within a day. And if you're in the United States and have any reservations about purchasing this software because they're in the UK - please don't. They are more accessible and available to answer questions than my next door neighbor. I don't know how they manage this without a staff of thousands, but they do.

Excellent Shopping Cart Software with Excellent Support

I have used Ecommerce Templates shopping cart software since 2007 when I first built my online store. I am not a professional website designer but the software and excellent support allowed me to get up and running very quickly. Over the years the shopping cart software has been regularly improved and updated to take advantage of the latest web developments and to remain compliant with all the latest SEO and security requirements etc.. Building my own online store with Ecommerce Templates has allowed me to constantly develop and improve my site with support when I need it and minimal initial and ongoing costs.

Absolutely awful!!!

Absolutely awful!! I cannot figure out how this joke of a "platform" even exists anymore, let alone how they have the audacity to CHARGE for updates to their crap code (*when they finally get around to updating it...)? I'm genuinely unsure which is worse, the inefficient, archaic codebase, the terrible UI/UX, or the stupid product name itself, which makes it next to impossible to get decent Google results for "Migrate Ecommerce Templates to WooCommerce" or Shopify, or ANY other modern platform!! Perhaps I'll just give up entirely and sell on Amazon!

Worse piece of software I've ever used …

Worse piece of software I've ever used to develop a website. Limited in everything EcommerceTemplates.com is still lost back in the 90s. Switched over to WooCommerce since I can get a handful of developers to reply to custom jobs in a mater of 12 hours. EcommerceTemplates, Good Luck trying to find one..no one wants to touch this software is what our experience comes down to. It lacks everything you need to run a modern website. From what we see that there's a release every 30 seconds because there's a problem here, then there's a problem there. In the middle of updating 3 more websites that we've told our clients to ditch this worthless outdated software, oh and not to mention you have pay $60 plus dollars for support, where WooCommerce they have load of people that have become experts (semi) just by using it. Hands down we've known we made the right decision to trash our copy of EcommerceTemplates and switch to woocommerce.

None better

We've been with Ecommerce Templates for 10+ years and their templates and support could not be better. Their templates are updated frequently to stay current with security and SEO needs, plus adding tons of additional features. I have never had an after-sale problem that was not handled quickly and by a support person that really cares. This is SO rare these days and I treasure my relationship with ECT and would never even consider going with another company for my webstore needs.

Ecommerce Templates - a stellar software

Ecommerce Templates goes above and beyond with their customer service and support. They are constantly updating their software to keep up with technology and internet search changes. I highly recommend this software and the company has been around a long time and stands by their product. As web developers, this software is up to our high standards, and yet it is also good for individuals looking to add a cart to their website.

Go Someplace Else Not EcommerceTemplates

Ecommerce Templates Will hold your site hostage for the smallest of questions. Their MOTO is basically pay us to get a yes or no answer. Developers will not answer questions and leave it blank for months at a time and Ecommerce Templaes knows about it and does nothing. First if you want a simple question answered, they refuse to answer it. They say oh you have to pay us $70 just to get a response in the forum. You say something, they have their jackles gang up on you and purposely contradict everything you say. There's no way of getting any type of support unless you folk over $70. Then when you do, they give you a BS answer, saying oh that's complicated, oh we're doing it in a next revision (which takes them years), or hire a developer. Then when you ask one of their 2 developers a question, it gets unanswered for months on end, leaving you stranded and held hostage by them. You go to complain what they do, they delete your account and all your posts because they don't want to be found out on what they do. They remove modules from every single update because they are too lazy to put the fixes into it. You cant take credit card orders that you want to process manual anymore because they refuse to pay for PCI. So what they do, they hand if off to one their developers that if you want that simple module, you have to folk over just as much money as you paid for this worthless program. If you paid thousands for a version for customization, and you upgrade kiss that money good buy and you have to start over. Their moron response is that if you want the code back go through every single file every single line of code and do a cut and paste, with no guarantee that it would work. Are you a programmer? no your a seller. So once again another idiotic solution offered by these people that their only direction is to suck as much money out of you for their worthless outdated software. In all honesty, stay away from this nickle and dime company. Go with WooCommerce, they are 1000x bigger than these fools and have hundreds of developers to help you immediately vs only 2 Ecommerce Templates have and both are not in the United States. The biggest mistake we made was putting up with ETC. REPLY TO ECOMMERCE TEMPLATES : Oh boy what lies upon lies. First they admit that YEAH YOU DO HAVE TO PAY for their crappy support. 2nd your developers are non existant. 3rd you refuse to reply and answer questions from PAID customers who have your software. You hold everyone hostage. When you pay because you have no choice they give you one word answers. The fact that we've been held hostage for years because of you and have not been able to do anything with our website because of you and your developers is the reason why we're leaving permently. Your vultures gang up on other sellers and importantly, you purposely delete all evidence when someone posts a negative review about you cons! REPLY TO THE REPLY. Lets add liars to the review of Ecommerce Templates. Oh its a complete lie, because they deleted every single post from their support forum regarding everything we said. So lets add deceptive business practices to the list. The fact that you refuse to answer questions unless people pay for for it is a joke! You purposely deleted every single forum post to cover up your lies! In addition, not only are we saying it, others have said the same thing. You go on and on and spread lies because you just want people to buy your low grade software, lead them into a false sense of security, then become trapped! If non of this was true then we'd have no reason to leave this negative review. The fact that we had enough of being held hostage from your company, refusing to answer yes and no response, the fact that you purposely deleted posts to cover up any accusations (and you know you did!) it just proof of how shady of a company you are. You'll do anything to have the truth removed from a site.
