Quick expert primer for : this thread does not contain a first-hand production report, so treat the platform as unvalidated until a short proof-of-concept is completed. The main decision factors are technical fit, available extensions, operational cost, and ongoing maintenance.

Local validation checklist (quick, actionable):

  • Local proof-of-concept: build and run the official source to verify admin workflows, themes, and checkout flows. See the project repository for install steps: Official repository.
  • Maintenance signal: review recent commits, open issues, and release cadence to judge active support.
  • Integration coverage: confirm availability and quality of payment, tax, and shipping connectors required by the business; test real transactions (sandbox/test keys).
  • Extensibility and versioning: inspect the plugin marketplace and verify that needed plugins are maintained for the target version.
  • Performance and hosting: benchmark cold/warm caches, static asset delivery, and front-end metrics; measure Core Web Vitals as a baseline (Core Web Vitals).
  • Security posture: scan dependencies and open security issues; follow OWASP guidance for ecommerce apps (OWASP Top Ten).

Context and trade-offs: as implied, coding skills reduce friction when customizing. As suggested, ecosystem strength matters for extensions and support. As noted, an in-house build can give control but raises long-term TCO and maintenance risk. A two-week PoC that documents blockers, integration gaps, and deployment steps will quickly show whether the platform is a fit or if a managed/vendor option is preferable.

I can not say I am. I have used cre loaded, xcart, and custom coded carts. However if you know programming any cart is good.

If you can't find any reliable review or information about that platform. You better start looking for another one there are lots of ecommerce platform out there that are really reliable. For my experience Magento is a really good one.

I would suggest a custom platform and custom coded ecommerce site.
