Automotive Brands Trust X-Cart to Power Their Online Stores
Why Look Beyond Web Shop Manager?
Web Shop Manager is a solid eCommerce platform for the automotive industry. However, its software-as-a-service model can be restrictive. When your business needs to expand with custom features or specific integrations, you can run into complications, extra costs, and a lot of workarounds.
Fragmented Technical Support
With Web Shop Manager, you often have to contact multiple companies to get an answer. This can cause long delays and lost sales.
X-Cart’s Solution
Our in-house team of engineers provides 24/7 expert support. We are the people who built the platform, so we know it inside and out. You get one point of contact for faster solutions and less downtime.
Underperforming Online Store
If your site is slow, crashes often, or has compatibility issues with different apps, you’re losing customers. Patchwork add-ons that don’t work well together can slow down your site and frustrate buyers.
X-Cart’s Solution
X-Cart is stable, fast, and easy to manage, even with a large number of products. Your customers get a smooth, reliable experience every time they visit your site.
Your Website Feels Ancient
An outdated design or a confusing layout often drives customers away. If your store isn’t responsive or easy to navigate, buyers will have a hard time finding what they need.
X-Cart’s Solution
X-Cart has mobile-friendly, automotive-first themes and the tools to build a custom website that looks professional and is intuitive for car owners to use.
Outdated Admin Panel and Lack of Content Tools
If your admin panel is outdated and lacks the tools you need to make simple changes, it can be frustrating and limit your ability to grow.
X-Cart’s Solution
The admin panel of X-Cart gives you all the tools you need to manage your business. You can update content, change banners, and make other adjustments to keep your brand fresh and engaging. No developer is needed for every change.
