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.

From the initial design and integration, throughout the entire evolution of our stores, we have found x-cart to be extremely capable, efficient and cost effective. In over fifty projects that we have completed so far with their customisation teams, I have never had cause for complaint. I am very grateful for all their work and would highly recommend their services to anyone.
