Doesn't get any easier than that, however, should you need to fully customise your integration, Snipcart won't let you know. It's still easy to add custom products, bundles and to define your own logic to add stuff to cart. Simple, flexible, yet powerful.Being headless, means you can easily integrate multiple websites/landing pages and still get all your e-commerce data in a single location, which is a big selling point. > > **Cons**: I'm not a big fan of the pricing mode. They charge 2% of sales, which may be OK for small stores, but definitely not going to fly with bigger customers. Keep in mind we're talking about 2% of gross sales, on top of whatever you're paying to your payment processor. > > Enabling small companies to run a headless e-commerce, connecting multiple websites and landing pages to a central location that keeps and handles all e-commerce data. For a developer, it's an easy, flexible and robust platform, that could only be better if it had a different pricing model, specifically for larger stores, when the 2% of gross sales will become prohibitive. ----- ### "Easily deploy a small shop on top of your existing website" — 5.0/5 > **Lucas** | *27 April 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super simple integration HTML-based product specifications make it easy to create products Supports recurring/subscription payments Very easy to build out an MVP shop Scales from few to many products with little extra work > > **Cons**: Styling the injected UI is a bit convoluted and requires a little bit of developer-style know-how. It's not impossible, and their documentation thoroughly covers the styling. Definitely more code-based than point-and-click type of customization. > > I had a couple clients who wanted to sell just a handful of items. They couldn't justify a full e-commerce-as-a-service monthly payment of $30+, or to rely on the kind-of-shaky (and complicated to setup) stack of WooCommerce on WordPress. Snipcart allowed them to sell just a few items with only a 2% sales fee. The $10 minimum monthly cost was way better than the $30 for Shopify, and they weren't doing enough sales to go over $30 in additional fees. Plus, using their existing CMS allowed us to roll out the sales at a much lower development cost than it would have been to build out an entire Shopify store and match the branding of the existing site. ----- ### "A must try and purchase for your business." — 3.0/5 > **Rezonia** | *3 November 2021* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: How users friendly the product for my business. > > **Cons**: The pricing was less desirable for my business. ----- ### "Fast, easy shopping cart" — 5.0/5 > **Charles** | *13 May 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can add a shopping cart to any page easily. It loads a lot faster than basic Shopify plans which equals higher conversions. It's also more affordable than Shopify as you are only paying for sales. Can customize it how I want it to be Is headless Lots of apps connected via Pipedream > > **Cons**: I wanted to integrate Voucherify with it, so I could have more custom promo code options, as I can only set up a max of 3 rules for a promo product and can't do custom promo codes. Unfortunately, at this time the promo features can't be disabled from the main shopping cart but I hope that changes in the future. > > Easy to setup and get to work. Customization takes a bit of time (depending on the developers), but customer support is very helpful. ----- ### "A good option depending on your needs" — 4.0/5 > **Josh** | *6 October 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's one of the best pre-packaged, ready to go solutions for JAMstack/statically generated websites with built-in price validation. It is the best used when integrating using their webhooks which make it a powerful tool. > > **Cons**: It's feature list is fairly basic (though partly by design) and not for everyone. Most elements can be manually expanded through extra development but if you are after complex functionality it may not be worth it. It is not the best option if you need to facilitate orders/payments separately from the website (in store, over the phone, email etc). While 2% fees on transactions isn't the most expensive option, it isn't necessarily cheap either. I think slightly more competitive pricing considering the feature gap between larger solutions could be more enticing. > > Their free-use for development mode is extremely useful, I spent a long time building the project including hassling their support a lot before finally launching and paying them. For the most part, their support were helpful sending me in the right direction. It's possible it wasn't the best option in retrospect given the nature of my particular site, but it does work well and could be perfect for certain use cases. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/178340/snipcart?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/178340/snipcart) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
