Volusion offers support via phone, email, chat, ticket system and they are there 24/7. Their customer service isn’t as great as BigCommerce and Shopify, but they are still good.

Website Rendering & Revisions
Volusion isn’t as expensive as BigCommerce except for their business package. They use AngularJS for rendering which SEO hates. Google says that “Angular websites can be made discoverable”. They have SEO tools in their Dashboard, but the page doesn’t render any new meta information. It actually doesn’t render anything at all. They assign you as a Google Tag Manager without your consent or approval. There are also 3rd party trackers that have access to EVERYTHING that you and your visitors do. Also, your personal account information will be embedded into the public source code of the website. Volusion has a very limited theme template store. There are literally 12 themes. They do have 3rd party apps and extensions but there is only 14 of them. They also do not have any software to make content, so they also do not have CMS.
