I am a senior web design consultant and have over 10 years of experience in the industry. The STIVA Shopping Cart is a great. Stivasoft support team is perfect! And the ability to make changes to the scripts to fit a particular project. I have seen many companies come and go but Stivasoft provide an excellent value to the market. I plan to be a long term customer and appreciate the fact that my inquiries are answered in a timely and professional manner. It makes a big difference to those of us that are working with clients and trying to get projects completed on a daily basis. Keep up the good work, it is nice to see a company that values its clients and treats them as individuals and not just a number on a spreadsheet. I give Stivasoft 5 stars and would recommend.

Pros
Great service and a terrific product by Stivasoft! As a newcomer to web development and with very little understanding of php, I purchased shopping cart script from Stivasoft. Any time I asked a question or asked for help the service team at Stivasoft were there. I asked for some alterations to the script to suit the purposes of my client and they were done at a very reasonable price.My client was very satisfied. I'm very happy with the original product and the modifications.
Cons
Perfect attitude.

Pros
Good clean php, easy to set up, admin interface is OK not great, getting products in the cart is easy, direct interface with PayPal and Google Check and a couple of other options. Styling of the cart is clunky.
Cons
No provision for sales tax by state, shipping feed interface. Order notification by email does not tell you the payment method if you have options. No promo code function. If you use credit card payment option, card info is not secure.
Summary
OK with custom modifications for which you will pay 3-4-5 times what you paid for the cart. Custom mods are slow. Support is usually quick to respond but slow to act and not particularly friendly or accommodation. If you offer constructive criticism, they go off the deep end. Also, it is obvious that they do little if any beta testing and the talented coders to not understand how this product will be used in the real world = you become the guinea pig. Otherwise, it's like my new hair do, totally fab.
