I have used VPASP for several years and under a variety of "shopping cart" conditions and overall it is basically easy to use 'out of the box'. It is not too difficult to make custom modifications if you have a little knowledge of coding. The manuals are fairly complete and provide answers to most situations.
Now the down sides -
1. Tech support is provided by a paid subscription and they do answer questions somewhat quickly and completely. But you are going to pay for it.
2. Updating the software is mandatory. And again after the initial period, 1 year, you have to pay for another year to keep updated. They have allowed older versions to become inconsistent with common browser updates. This means YOU ARE GOING TO PAY for an updated version or it won't work. This is a problem I am facing now.
>> My older (V6.5 Deluxe) worked well for years, then with updates in browser technology this version became inconsistent and not working. Contacted VPASP and they told me that the cart will still work with older browsers but for it to work with current browsers I would have to upgrade to V7.0 Deluxe at $795.00 (less a small discount for the upgrade). Previously it was a good value at $400 for the Deluxe but at almost $800's I think there may be better shopping carts out there for the price.
Yep, I'm looking for a new shopping cart.
In summary, I would not recommend VP-ASP Shopping Cart to a friend.
