Saturday, 5 a.m. While someone is already peacefully sleeping in their cozy beds, the opposite part of the globe is still wide awake and working hard. Our clients have online businesses in 111 countries of the world, and while a New Zealander is closing the doors of his office, the folks in NYC are enjoying their morning coffee. So no matter what time it is at the moment, no matter the distance and miles — there are no more time zones between us.

We’re online 24/7.

Not long ago our team was online for 19 hours a day on weekdays and only 8 hours on Saturday and Sunday to answer your questions and keep your eCommerce business running smoothly. It means that on weekends, say, New Yorkers along with all those people living in EDT time zone could contact us only early in the morning from 3 a.m. to 11 a.m., which was lame.

We do understand why 98% of our customers were waiting for this tasty feature so eagerly. You deemed it necessary for us to launch the round-the-clock support at all our meetups (US & UK). You still keep asking us for it now, believe it or not, a full-time support is one of the key factors in choosing an eCommerce platform. And, yes, we absolutely agree with you all — it is a truly must-have option for any future-proof business.

In fact, we added this feature in December 2016. It was a kind of a test as we wanted to make sure everything worked without a hitch. Since the turn of this year, we are working our fingers to the bone to answer your questions within just a couple of hours, non-stop. Now we are finally ready to turn a sour lemon into a scrumptious strawberry pie and announce the availability of 24/7 for everyone.

Plans & pricing

I’ll start by saying that the basic support is always free for you. If you know a thing or two about coding or you’ve got a tech specialist ready to do your tasks for you, welcome to contact X-Cart experts for instructions. We’ve got loads of user guides and dev docs to help you understand X-Cart technologies better and start developing.

Once you need real help from the platform creators (who do you think knows X-Cart better than we do?), just subscribe to one of our plans — Standard, Premium or Custom. Taking into account that hardly any developer will toil around-the-clock to be on the watch for scammers and unexpected errors, the price for X-Cart 24/7 support is irresistibly attractive. Paid annually, it starts from $179 and includes FREE managed hosting, Comodo SSL, daily off-site backups, free upgrades within 4th digit (from 5.3.1.4 to 5.3.1.5) and 8 hours response time. Higher plans include free upgrades for all X-Cart 5 branches, yearly full SEO audit, phone/chat support and images optimization. But what’s more exciting is that you can be sure you get a reply within 30 minutes. Usually, it’s even faster.

Btw, X-Cart Premium support is included in our Enterprise hosting plan by default. The latter one costs only $100 more, but you get both — a lightning-fast hosting and 24/7 support from our team of eCommerce experts.
