Choose the edition that fits your business
A single store or a marketplace with many vendors? Compare Store Builder (formerly CS-Cart) and Multi-Vendor. Every license is lifetime: you pay once, with no transaction fees and no product limits.
In plain words: your own shop or a shopping mall
Store Builder is your own shop: you decide on goods, prices and the storefront. Multi-Vendor is a shopping mall: you run the building, and inside it many tenants run their shops while you collect commissions.
You sell your own products. The Ultimate edition lets you run several storefronts, for example for different brands or countries.
Vendors have their own panels and products, and you earn on commissions and plan fees.
