Pros & Cons

Compared to WooCommerce, and other platforms, Cart66 has minimal features but more affordable and easier to use. The former provides a massive collection of add-ons such as Suggestions/Related Products, Product Comparison, and Email Integrations (Constant Contact, Campaign Monitor, GetResponse, etc.).

Other add-ons include QuickBooks, Wishlists, and Points/Rewards System. These give your web store in-depth functionality.

While simplicity is a key feature, Cart66 is not as flexible as other options which offer add-ons and are supported by a large community of developers.

Conclusion

When it comes to security and practicability, Cart66 creates a win-win situation for online vendors and shoppers. If you want a plugin that is secure, easy-to-use and packed with e-commerce essentials, Cart66 is a practical choice.
