April 23, 201115 yr Hi From what I have seen there are no negatives on the Magento forum about Magento.go.... mmmm.... either its 'out-of-this-world' or we have a vetting system in place ie. 'read only'... the charges are, lets say... interesting and quite pricey I think. There seems to be no comments on this forum about Magento.go either! A bit odd! Anyone like to enlighten us with their thoughts?! I thought it would probably best to go through the learning curve with the free version rather than shell out in the long run for 'go'... although it does look a 'convenient' option.
April 24, 201115 yr It's just a turnkey hosted version of Magento shopping cart, same software, but with developer support thrown in (if you have the Enterprise version you'd already have support). The only exception I can see is that you can't use Extensions yet.
April 24, 201115 yr we took one look at the pricing and shrugged.. like everything Varian / magento offers it sooo expensive.
October 9, 201114 yr Not just over-priced. They are the evil. I spent over $100 at Magento Go and basically got nothing, cancelled my store 4 days after signing up. My full story: http://www.kavoir.com/2011/09/magento-go-test-drive-review.html 1. They DELETE your support tickets without responding in any way. 2. They respond to your tickts every 1 or 2 days (IF they respond AT ALL) - simply unacceptable for mission critical sites such as ecommerce stores. 3. There is NO WAY you could delete / scramble your credit card information there, EVEN after you have cancelled your plan. This makes me very very uncomfortable. After submitting 2 tickets requesting my CC to be deleted, it's been over 2 days and they DIDN'T RESPOND in any way. Oh, and they charge your credit card even after you have cancelled your store: http://www.shoppingcartsforwebsites.com/general/magento-go-review/#comment-469 Horrible story. Do yourself a favor and AVOID them at all costs.... Edited October 9, 201114 yr by yangyang
October 9, 201114 yr Author Thanks for the advice yangyang! What an eye-opener... a real shocker...sorry to hear about your experience (and the experience of others). I also read the reviews on the link you included and I am left thankful I did not try out .go for myself! Yuk! This all makes me wonder what is going to happen with X-Commerce. I hope its going to be all singing-and-dancing as they are hyping it, but I certainly will not plumb for a X-Commerce.go version! I like your blog by the way! Interesting stuff!

Couldn't be any worse. They probably only care about the top paying clients. Thanks and very glad you like my blog!
