Compare X-Cart Gold vs Pro
X-Cart GOLD vs X-Cart PRO: which one do you really need?
X-Cart Gold is a solution that allows selling products online. The products sold with the help of X-Cart Gold can be of your own production or made by third parties, however only one seller can access the cart back-end and operate the store. No third-party sellers are allowed.
X-Cart PRO, on the other hand, is a solution which allows multiple companies to sell their products online. So a store owner can let third-party sellers use the store. The store owner will be referred to as the administrator, while the third-party sellers are referred to as providers.

| Shipping | The administrator fully controls the shipping. | The administrator defines available shipping methods and each provider defines his or her own rates for each method. If each provider defines rates specific to a particular location, real-time shipping cost estimation via a carrier company (USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Canada Post, Australia Post) becomes unavailable. If the administrator enables real-time shipping cost estimation, then all the shipping rates are calculated from a single warehouse (the address is defined by store administrator). |
| Taxes | The administrator fully controls the taxing system. | The administrator creates a list of tax types applicable to customer orders. Each provider assigns his or her own rates to the tax types which the store administrator has defined. |
