Solid Commerce vs Shopping Cart Elite

Supported Marketplaces

Solid Commerce is an ecommerce platform that supports multiple marketplaces. Although you can list, sync and manage your products on several sales channels, unfortunately, you are forced to work with each marketplace separately. That means every process you do with say Amazon you must also redo the same process with eBay, Sears, Rakuten, Newegg, Overstock, Etsy, Best Buy, Jet, and so on. If you need to make 1 price change, and you are working with 5 sales channels, you would have to upload that information 5 times. Of course over time this will inevitably become a laborious and inefficient process.

With Shopping Cart Elite (SCE) you can manage dozens of marketplaces at the same time through a single integrated Omni Channel Hub. With SCE you can not only work with prices, listings and labels, but also individually manage the orders and bring supply chain management to a whole new level.

Shopping Cart Elite went beyond the basics and released unique dedicated features for each supported marketplace:

Top Notch Marketplace Management Tools

A big issue with Solid Commerce is that the UI makes it difficult to do bulk edits. And you have to use excel sheet each time you make a listing, even if its just for one item, you have to repeat the excel sheet process all over again. That means there is no simple way to duplicate products/listings. And since Solid Commerce has no real automation integrated you will spend most of your day doing tedious work.

Shopping Cart Elite offers automation and customized templates for listings. Creating or editing products and listings can be done quickly and easily through a simple UI and bulk tools. For SCE usability is important so they have a database of helpful tutorials and video tutorials that make self-learning a cinch. They fully sync your entire business operations from inventory to documents, dropbox, external data, and more. The status of your multiple warehouses can be seen at a glance within the dashboard and all changes are reflected in real time.

It only takes seconds to perform operations that would otherwise take hours with Solid Commerce. For example, a few clicks and your Shopping Cart Elite business is synced to Quickbooks. Unfortunately, accounting integration with Solid Commerce does not work, neither does Quickbooks.

Better Than Google Analytics

Shopping Cart Elite offers TEA (Threat and Engagement Analytics), an analytics software that rivals Google Analytics in features. TEA enables sellers to define which channels give the best traffic and which paid ads are not performing. TEA achieves this by tracking the behavior of visitors to a website through mouse movements and keyboard and mouse clicks and then analyzing their behavior weeding out the good traffic from the bad. Unlike Google Analytics which treats all traffic the same, TEAs results are more targeted and impactful.

All-in-on Solution

Shopping Cart Elite takes a unique approach to ecommerce with their platform being an all-in-one solution. What that means is features like a CRM, ERP, email marketing, fulfillment, reports, shipping, accounting, SEO, social, analytics and so on come standard with SCE. Solid Commerce offers the bare minimum and achieving more requires expensive 3rd party plugins, apps, and integrations. With SCE sellers control all aspects of their business through one unifying system.

The Final Say

Solid Commerce has its place in the ecommerce industry but it is far from the best choice for sellers looking to effectively and efficiently sell online and through multiple marketplaces. Shopping Cart Elite is committed to quality over quantity and because of this you will find their approach completely different from that of Solid Commerces. SCEs team interacts with each customer individually and supports them through all phases from development to release and beyond with permanent dedicated support. Shopping Cart Elite`s eCommerce solutions are rapidly conquering the market and when compared to Solid Commerce is the better platform.
