All Store Builder editions are the same CS-Cart software. They differ in the set of features unlocked by the license and in the update period. A higher edition includes everything from the lower one.

Through the API you can read and modify products, change order statuses or create new administrators. In the Plus edition the admin panel API is available to the root administrator, while in the Ultimate and UNLIM editions you can grant access to every administrator.

Our Independent permissions to methods REST API add-on lets you control access to individual API methods for each administrator.
