Over the years, the platform has experienced a steady decline in active stores, with a 0.1% drop quarter-over-quarter and a <a href=\"https:\/\/storeleads.app\/reports\/volusion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>17% decrease year-over-year<\/strong><\/a> as of late 2024.<\/p>\n<p>This is a G2 review of a life-long Volusion user about the disadvantage of the platform:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They seem unable to keep up with technology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, what\u2019s behind this decline? Volusion filed for bankruptcy in 2020, raising concerns about its long-term stability. While the platform continues to operate, some users have reported limited support for older versions, making upgrades and maintenance more challenging. These factors may contribute to why businesses are looking elsewhere for more future-proof solutions.<\/p>\n<p>To keep up with the game, Volusion has updated its platform with features like premium checkout, an upgraded site designer, a new Volusion help center, and an enhanced login experience. These efforts aim to keep the platform competitive, as you\u2019ll see in this Volusion review.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Volusion Pros & Cons<\/h2>\n<p>Before going further into our Volusion review, let's explore the platform's strengths and weaknesses.

This is great for businesses with high sales volumes since you keep more of your earnings.<\/p>\n<p>However, each plan comes with an annual sales limit. If your total sales over the past 12 months go over that limit, Volusion will automatically upgrade you to the next plan. While this gives you access to more features, it also means higher costs as your business grows. For example, if your sales exceed the limit, you might see an increase of $300\u2013$1,500 per year, depending on the plan. Keep this in mind when choosing a plan, especially if you expect your sales to increase quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Volusion claims to offer a low total cost of ownership (TCO), so we took a closer look to see if that holds true. After factoring in subscription fees, SSL certificates, fraud protection, and automatic plan upgrades due to sales limits, we found that the TCO ranges from $593 to over $6,617 annually.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82268\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82268\" style=\"width: 1891px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82268\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-total-cost-of-ownership.webp\" alt=\"Volusion claims to provide low total cost of ownership\" width=\"1891\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-total-cost-of-ownership.webp 1891w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-total-cost-of-ownership-300x90.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-total-cost-of-ownership-1024x306.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-total-cost-of-ownership-768x230.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-total-cost-of-ownership-1536x460.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1891px) 100vw, 1891px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82268\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion claims to provide low total cost of ownership<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Based on our analysis for this Volusion review, Volusion\u2019s TCO is generally higher than Shopify and Wix for smaller businesses. For example, a small business might pay around $1,200\u2013$1,500 per year with Volusion, compared to $900\u2013$1,200 on Shopify. However, for businesses that make a lot of sales and want to avoid transaction fees, Volusion can still be a smart choice because the savings on fees can add up quickly.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Ease of Use<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table3\">\n<p><strong>Our scoring: 4.3\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>When setting up your store, Volusion guides you step by step with a wizard-like interface.

In comparison, Volusion doesn\u2019t really offer anything that stands out or feels unique compared to these competitors. For beginners, it gets the job done, but it might not be the most exciting option.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Themes & Design<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table3\">\n<p><strong>Our scoring: 3.2\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>To continue, this Volusion review will look into the design flexibility. Volusion provides around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volusion.com\/features\/themes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">24 free pre-built themes<\/a> that you can quickly apply using its Site Designer. For more variety, the platform also offers a collection of around <a href=\"https:\/\/ecommerce-templates.volusion.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">40 eCommerce themes<\/a>, including 11 free themes and 34 premium themes priced at $180 each.<\/p>\n<p>While the selection is enough to get started, it\u2019s still smaller than what platforms like Wix or Squarespace provide. If you want your site to stand out, you\u2019ll likely need to spend extra time customizing the design to fit your brand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82262\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82262\" style=\"width: 1701px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82262\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-templates.webp\" alt=\"Volusion themes store\" width=\"1701\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-templates.webp 1701w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-templates-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-templates-1024x411.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-templates-768x308.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-templates-1536x617.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1701px) 100vw, 1701px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82262\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion themes store<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s where things get tricky.

Tasks like reordering or resizing elements don\u2019t work as smoothly as expected, making even basic changes challenging.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Sales Features<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table3\">\n<p><strong>Our scoring: 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Our Volusion review would be incomplete if we didn\u2019t take a look at the tools and features to help your eCommerce business thrive. Here are the sales features you will find on your Volusion store:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Inventory management<\/h3>\n<p>Adding products is quick and simple. You can use Volusion\u2019s admin dashboard to fill in details like descriptions, images, and prices for each item. One standout feature is \u201csuggested products\u201d, which recommends related items to customers in the format of videos. This is a great way to boost sales and gives Volusion an edge over Shopify, which needs third-party apps for this feature.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82259\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82259\" style=\"width: 1640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82259\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-inventory.webp\" alt=\"Volusion inventory dashboard\" width=\"1640\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-inventory.webp 1640w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-inventory-300x140.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-inventory-1024x478.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-inventory-768x359.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-inventory-1536x717.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82259\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion inventory dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But there\u2019s one downside: Volusion does not directly support those businesses selling you digital products. If you\u2019re planning to sell things like ebooks, music, or digital art, this platform won\u2019t work for you.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Payment<\/h3>\n<p>Volusion supports over 30 payment gateways, including popular options like PayPal, Stripe, and Square. No matter which plan you choose, Volusion doesn\u2019t charge transaction fees, which is a huge plus for keeping your costs predictable. Keep in mind, though, that standard credit card processing fees still apply.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82260\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82260\" style=\"width: 1642px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82260\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-paypal.webp\" alt=\"Volusion Paypal payment\" width=\"1642\" height=\"702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-paypal.webp 1642w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-paypal-300x128.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-paypal-1024x438.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-paypal-768x328.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-paypal-1536x657.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1642px) 100vw, 1642px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion Paypal payment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For a more integrated solution, you can check out Volusion's in-house payment gateway \u2013 Volusion Payments, powered by Stripe. It allows you to accept credit card payments directly through your store without relying on third-party processors. With fast payouts, built-in fraud protection, and seamless integration, it provides a convenient way to manage transactions in one place.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82253\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82253\" style=\"width: 1707px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82253\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-payments.webp\" alt=\"Volusion Payments\" width=\"1707\" height=\"721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-payments.webp 1707w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-payments-300x127.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-payments-1024x433.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-payments-768x324.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-payments-1536x649.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82253\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion Payments<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>3. Shipping<\/h3>\n<p>Managing shipping is easy with Volusion\u2019s integration with tools like ShipStation and Shippo. These services automate tasks like creating shipping labels, tracking orders, and updating inventory, saving you time and effort.<\/p>\n<p>You can also personalize invoices and packing slips with your logo and custom text. This personal touch can go a long way in building customer loyalty.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Checkout<\/h3>\n<p>Checkout is the final step in the buying journey, and to enhance your customer experience, Volusion offers the Premium Checkout feature. New customers go through a simple two-step process while returning customers enjoy a one-step checkout for faster transactions. This streamlined design reduces cart abandonment and boosts conversion rates, helping businesses drive more sales.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Premium Checkout comes at an additional cost, it\u2019s a worthwhile investment if you\u2019re considering Volusion. Many merchants have reported an increase in completed orders, making it a valuable upgrade for improving the checkout experience and maximizing sales.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82252\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82252\" style=\"width: 1892px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82252\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-premium-checkout.webp\" alt=\"Volusion premium checkout\" width=\"1892\" height=\"823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-premium-checkout.webp 1892w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-premium-checkout-300x130.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-premium-checkout-1024x445.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-premium-checkout-768x334.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-premium-checkout-1536x668.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1892px) 100vw, 1892px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82252\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion premium checkout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Apps & Integration<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table3\">\n<p><strong>Our scoring: 4.4\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next up, the Volusion review will go through the apps and integration available to grow your store. This platform has an app marketplace with about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volusion.com\/marketplace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">80 apps<\/a>. These apps help with things like dropshipping, customer support, and analytics. While the selection isn\u2019t as big as what you\u2019ll find on Shopify, it covers the basics that most small businesses need.<\/p>\n<p>Among these, Zapier stands out as one of the most powerful and highly recommended integrations. It connects Volusion to over 1,000 apps, making it easy to automate tasks like sending order confirmations or syncing customer data with email marketing tools such as Klaviyo and Mailchimp.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82263\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82263\" style=\"width: 1766px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82263\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-integration.webp\" alt=\"Volusion integration\" width=\"1766\" height=\"819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-integration.webp 1766w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-integration-300x139.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-integration-1024x475.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-integration-768x356.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-integration-1536x712.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1766px) 100vw, 1766px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82263\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion integration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>SEO & Marketing<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table3\">\n<p><strong>Our scoring: 3.8\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>With Volusion, you get basic SEO tools to help your store show up in search results. You can add meta titles, descriptions, and keywords to optimize each page. If you\u2019re familiar with coding, you can go a step further by customizing meta tags using HTML for better search engine performance.<\/p>\n<p>However, advanced SEO editing is limited on Volusion. Unlike some other platforms, it doesn\u2019t offer built-in tools for structured data, automatic sitemaps, or deeper customization options. This can make it harder to fine-tune your SEO strategy, especially if you're looking for more flexibility in optimizing your store for search engines.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82255\" style=\"width: 1823px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82255\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-seo-tools.webp\" alt=\"Volusion SEO features\" width=\"1823\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-seo-tools.webp 1823w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-seo-tools-300x118.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-seo-tools-1024x404.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-seo-tools-768x303.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-seo-tools-1536x606.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1823px) 100vw, 1823px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion SEO features<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For marketing, there are tools for creating discounts, promotions, and email campaigns.

Blogging is an important way to improve SEO and connect with your customers, so not having this option can be challenging if content marketing is part of your strategy or if you want to scale your business.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Security<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table3\">\n<p><strong>Our scoring: 4\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Volusion has had its fair share of security challenges. In 2019, a major data breach exposed customer payment details across thousands of stores due to malicious code injected into its system. This raised serious concerns about whether Volusion could truly protect sensitive data.<\/p>\n<p>So, after these security incidents, does Volusion now live up to its promises?<\/p>\n<p>On paper, the platform offers strong security features to safeguard your store and customer data. It is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, ensuring secure payment processing. It also uses AES-256 encryption for sensitive data and TLS v1.2 for secure transfers.<\/p>\n<p>Every store comes with a 256-bit SSL certificate to protect online transactions, while tools like a web application firewall (WAF) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) work to block cyber threats. Regular penetration testing helps detect and fix vulnerabilities before they become serious risks.<\/p>\n<p>With these measures in place, Volusion seems to have strengthened its security, but past breaches serve as a reminder that no system is completely immune. If security is a top priority for your business, it\u2019s always best to stay informed and take additional precautions, such as enabling multi-layer security measures and monitoring transactions closely.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Help & Support<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table3\">\n<p><strong>Our scoring: 4.2\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Getting help when you need it is easy with Volusion\u2019s support options. The Volusion Help Center is available 24\/7 and is packed with resources like articles, FAQs, and tutorials.

Live chat support is available 24\/7 through the Merchant Center dashboard, providing real-time help when needed. If you prefer email, you can contact the team at support@volusion.com.<\/p>\n<p>Phone support, however, is only available for Business and Prime plans. Users on these tiers can call (800) 646-3517, Monday to Friday, from 8 AM to 7 PM Central Time. If you're on a lower-tier plan, you\u2019ll need to rely on live chat or email for assistance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82256\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82256\" style=\"width: 1664px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82256\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-support-plans.webp\" alt=\"Volusion support based on pricing plans\" width=\"1664\" height=\"716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-support-plans.webp 1664w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-support-plans-300x129.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-support-plans-1024x441.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-support-plans-768x330.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/volusion-support-plans-1536x661.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1664px) 100vw, 1664px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82256\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volusion support based on pricing plans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While Volusion\u2019s support covers the basics, the quality of help can vary. Some representatives lack the technical knowledge needed to resolve complex issues, leading to delays in getting clear answers. Additionally, response times can be inconsistent, with some users experiencing long waits for resolutions.<\/p>\n<p>Another drawback that we found when conducting this Volusion review is that it does not have a user forum or community support system. Unlike other platforms that offer spaces for users to exchange tips and solutions, Volusion lacks this peer-to-peer resource, making it harder to find shared experiences or troubleshooting advice outside of direct support channels.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Volusion Review: FAQs<\/h2>\n<div id=\"rank-math-rich-snippet-wrapper\"><div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is Volusion secure?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, Volusion prioritizes security to protect your store and customer data.
