Fortune3 Ecommerce

This site ripped me off. They kept my money even after agreeing to give it back. I paid this fraudulant company thinking that they were a real company and because at the time i seen 5 star reviews more good reviews than bad one. So i decided to try them out. Well they of course stole my money and didnt provide me with anything. I do not recommended this company

This is an awesome e-commerce platform. Much better than anyone and has much more additional features and is very easy to use.

Weve been with fortune3 since 2010. Overall: These folks run a solid business with a great product. They have went above and beyond on nearly every aspect of helping our transition to the fortune3 platform, and then maintaining it for the past 7 years. As with most all in one carts, there are features that shine; with f3 it is customer support. Sure they dont have a thousand employees but in our case this has been a huge positive. To a merchant with very little programming experience, a shopping cart is only as good as your guidance on how to use it. The product is evolving and this leaves some features better than others, as can be expected. Key to success is getting accustomed to the ins and outs of the software, and not being afraid to ask for help. The chat support feature has always been a quick and easy way to address any issues (even at 11pm). Over the years they are glad to step in and work with you on getting things in line. – Elliot

January 2017, we began trial of Fortune3's online shopping cart system. Upon exploring, their rep insisted the features we needed required a paid subscription. We signed up – just to try features requiring a subscription, to see if Fortune3 product would work for us. It didn't work out – we wrote them on 3 separate occasions requesting pricing for customization, without response. Contacted Fortune3 and attempted to submit cancel request, according to their own help files, and their software didn't work. Attempted to email them, they refused to cancel and insisted I call them – even though their online support FAQ indicated different procedure. Terrible company, antiquated system, misleadingly friendly and helpful pre-sales. System malfunctions often and does not work properly. Finally filed credit card charge dispute so they'll be blocked from charging again. Another #scam company – awful customer service, condescending attitude.

Hello All,

I am a customer of fotune3 and part of my website has been down for 7 days. I get many orders a day and have been a customer for many years. I try emailing them, calling them, updating tickets in there system, and not response. I even get no response when using their chat support. We are now looking for alternative since the support seems to be slow no matter what the issue.

-Lucas

BEWARE! I tried these guys out for a couple of weeks before canceling due to the lack of tech support. THEY LEAVE YOUR ACCOUNT UP ON THEIR WEBSITE EVEN AFTER YOU CANCEL! Somehow my customer made a purchase through Fortune3. I was not notified and didn't receive any money from this sale. Just an angry customer. Fortune3 requires your domain name at setup, but doesn't tell you it immediately goes out on the Internet for Google and the public to view. While you're just trying it out! And, these people are SO RUDE!

I am an existing customer of Fortune3 from past 6 years and it is very beneficial for me and it also helped me a lot to grow in my business. Every people from the Fortune3 help-desk are very helping and good guy. They are ready to help for 24×7 for any queries. I really love this so much and will recommend every people to start using this software for the e-commerce. It's new online administrator tools are really awesome. (Lal Saheb)

Fortune3 has disappointed me a lot. First the service is really bad. They take forever to get back to you and they always blame someone else for there problems. I called them as well but again they've been very rude and treated me with disdain. I think there support stuff must be badly paid or have bad managers because they are not at all friendly on the phone. What else can I say? Well my store has been down many times a month they always say that there having some trouble with their serversl. They don't know why and they've told me time and time again that they're looking into this issue, only for it to a-ppen again. The most frustrating thing is my store being donw but also the hidden fees. Each month it's like a new cost crops up. I should have read the small print I suppose but I cannot stand a site which is not transparent about it's chargers and cheats customers like this. I'm going to switch to a new shopping cart and I suggest anyone whose looking to join fortune3 to take a closer look at the company and policy fine print.

I'm totally disappointed with fortune3, they are lagging way behind in features,designs, layout, etc etc compared to competitors, the site is slow as well, their stupid system of pc based s/w which will annoy you big time if you are working from multiple Pc's, finally they promised to rectify it in the latest version and it was supposed to be released early summer, but now their people are telling it will be released soon(???)
there is no definite date, and if you ask more you will be harassed by the helpdesk technicians,which is unacceptable, my company is considering a change in the platform,as we had suffered a major data loss because of the pc based s/w, kindly go through their newsletter below and you can see the shift in their language, pushing the release without any definite date

I am a fairly new client of Fortune3's, but in the few month that I have taken my online store to them my business has skyrocketed. My website is so much simpler and my hosting is so reliable that when paired with Fortune3's marketing and SEO tools, we have quadrupled our sales in just 5 months, with very little investment. A highly recommended shopping cart!

a less than average cart with very few or no feature upgrades,they say it is easily customizable but it is not, and if you need fortune3 to do any customization, then get ready to pay through your nose, for eg, a normal Geotrust ssl(quick ssl premium)
certificate which cost$149, fortune will charge you $349, a whopping $200 margin.
like this you will be paying a premium for every small modifications/changes

half of the live sites shown by fortune3 as sample are dummy sites, i checked many sites "about us" section and even tried to buy from these sites

and above all like a cherry on top the most abusive support staff I've ever seen, they will insult you without any reason

If i have to rate them I will give a generous 1/5

if you are planning to subscribe, do it at your own risk

Fortune3 provides magnificent software and services either you need a full serviced ecommerce website solution to sell online, or you want to do it yourself. This online shopping cart offers all the ranges options in between as well. But the most important thing is that it works smoothly.
I love this software.

The fortune3 ecommerce software works seamlessly.
For little money fortune3 takes good care of everything. The software is excellent and user-friendly.
By far fortune3 offers easy and powerful software to create an online store, and to manage the ecommerce website, sales and customers. I have tried both hosted shopping carts and open source shopping carts, but when a little problem occurred either with the software or the server my online store went down: that happened to me so many times. When I was running the website on my own server I didn't have a peace of mind, even sleeping was difficult. Off course, I was both the server and the software administrator, and believe me: that job isn't easy.
I have been with fortune3 over a year and for little money they take good care of everything. The software is excellent and very user-friendly. The new fortune application for the iphone is awesome. Customer support is outstanding. If you have a real online business and you want to keep it up and running all the time, I recommend fortune3.

I am very pleased with the Fortune3 ecommerce software and also with their website hosting services and customer support.
The Fortune3 shopping cart offers an efficient ecommerce website solution to sell online anything from products to services: From real products that can be customized by the customer while shopping online to photos, downloadable products, and gift certificates as well.
The PC base interface to build the online storefront is fast and easy. The product import feature through Excel is organized and so fast that creating and modifying the online store takes just a few minutes.
From the data entry to managing the online store, the Fortune3 shopping cart software is an incredible tool to run and online business seamlessly.
I think that this program can achieve results comparable to the large online shopping carts. Among hosted shopping carts Fortune3 is an excellent choice.

This product is killing my business. Fortune3 has been down for days. The site is up but when customers try to check out they get an error page when Fortune3 tries to pass them to Paypal who I use as a processor. Please someone share with me a better alternative where I can quickly migrate my site, inventory, and customer database. I need to be able to do both wholesale and retail with separate logins for each pricing group. For a while I ran this myself using Cubecart but I couldn't keep up with all the mods required to make it do what I wanted. I wanted so much for Fortune3 to work out and loved their features but I'm rapidly losing patience and customers.

Fortune3 cart is Terrible! I liked this service at first, but after signing up I found out that there were hidden fees. A huge percentage of my sales went to fortune3 which is not really advertised on their site. I spent days, weeks, lot of time adding products so I ended up staying with them. For a year now my husband and I have had a lot of trouble getting the cart to work right, the website is down just about every day and I am not kidding! Because the shopping cart is hosted on Fortune3.com servers (not optional) you have no choice but to deal with it. Their Support is terrible. When I've tried to let them know about problems on the cart or when the web store is down they are very blunt and just darn RUDE!

As a small company my husband and I have complained numerous times and they just don't care, they tell us that we just have to be patient and deal with it. I believe that their administrators (David Farache) and owner(s) of the company are not very mature and are not willing to service their product. This situation has been extremely frustrating!

Fortunately I see a light at the end because we have recently moved our webstore to a new Cart and it looks like it is a 120% better than fortune3 shopping cart. My website is always up, there are no extra sales fees and they have best support ever. Very nice people. I hope this helps someone, because I was not very happy using Fortune3 cart.

The website has a very good web design. I also tried their shopping cart software and it works fine. I recommend it to build an omnline store,

we've been using it for a couple of years now. database is easy to load information into but their customer service guys all sound like they are from south america so that makes for misunderstandings and frustrations. also, having an outside company do design work is a little tricky because they are not able to work around their strict infrastructure. if you want a quick and easy up and running store then fortune3 is for you. want something more detailed i'd look at volusion.com which is what we're doing right now.
