Training
Training that shows you how it really works
We teach how to run and manage a CS-Cart store and a Multi-Vendor marketplace. From the first login to the admin panel, through promotions and customer emails, all the way to writing your own add-ons.
In plain words: like driving lessons
A store is a car. You can read the manual, but you only learn to drive behind the wheel. Our training works the same way: step by step, on a real admin panel, with an instructor next to you.
You get to know the panel, the settings and access rights for your team.
Orders, products, promotions and customer emails in practice.
For developers: software structure, templates, API and your own add-ons.
We work on your data, so you do real tasks from day one.
How we run the sessions
We run demonstrations and workshops at different levels for individuals, companies and institutions that want to make full use of the software.
Online via Google Meet
No travel. The instructor's screen and your panel in one window.
At your location
At your office or any other place you choose, for the whole team.
