Terrible package [Posted on 2000-09-12]
Thats what I have to say.I am an ASP Programmer and have been building websites for over 2 years now.I got this package so it could help me provide readymade solutions in shoppingcart,shipment calculations,tax etc. This package has a very high learning curve.Inspite of being in ASP I had a lot of difficulty finding my way through this package for solutions I was looking for.The documentation which comes with this package is very sketchy. Being a programmer and on top of that spending money for a ready made solutions program but still finding it very difficult to move thro....you get a picture I guess of what I mean. I bought the SQL Server option with the pack and then I found that the SQL Option is purely meant as an interface format for the application.No SQL Database comes with the package. I just could not find out thro their documentation how to import the sql database developed by me into the application - kept getting errors. I emailed them and as of today (three weeks) I have yet to receive a reply. The support for this pack is sketchy,vague and not informative enough to help you to a solution.There is a newsgroup where other customers submit their problems , but there are few solutions offered and the range of problems indicates to me that people dont get their solutions on time or never.

Surprisingly I find the negative reviews for this product being taken off periodically, which creates doubts in my mind about the clean image of amazon.com.

A $170.99 HEADACHE [Posted on 2000-10-20]
First off, I did not buy this product myself (thank goodness). I was asked by an associate to help set up this new "e-commerce software", because I'm somewhat computer savvy. Everything I could say about this product has already been said by others. Those that say it's great.....I just don't believe you (do you own shares in this company?). If you do buy it, have lots of patients with both the software and the tech support......you'll need it. We eventually took it back, exchanging it for something that only cost about $50.00. It worked like a dream, there was just no comparison. Expensive is not always best and that's certainly true in this case.

Worst shopping cart and support there is! [Posted on 2001-06-29]
I spent over a month trying to get this program to work with my software. When I would try to preview the cart, nothing would show up. I had entered nearly my entire inventory. When I called tech support, they said there was a problem with how I set it up and to delete everything I had entered. I started over and entered only a couple of items and it still would not work. I tried to get help from tech support, but it was useless. They did not know how to help and their response time was awful. They refused to give me a refund on the program. I had purchased it through Amazon.com and luckily, they refunded my money. If I were thinking of buying a shopping cart program, I would stay away from this one.

Another fake review posted by LaGarde. [Posted on 2003-10-23]
If you believe that real users posted all of the great fake reviews then maybe you should invest in StoreFront. I once clicked on the "5452554543532 (see more about me)" link and it went back to a guy named Bob LaGarde who happens to be the owner of the company. What a jackass! Who does that? Goes in and puts postings of how great his company and his products are and then doesn't cover up his tracks. I think Amazon needs to remove this company's product from their website for unethical use of the rating system. It is people like this Bob LaGarde that give the industry a bad name. By the way, I checked out their demo and if you want the real story, the people who posted how horrible the software and support is are pretty accurate.
