Volusion
Volusion is a legacy hosted eCommerce platform that once served many SMBs in the US. As the platform aged, many merchants moved to modern solutions for better support, features, and long-term viability.
Overview
Volusion provided hosted stores with products, orders, and customers. The platform has been less active in recent years; existing merchants often consider moving to a actively developed platform with a strong app ecosystem and support. Data can be exported or migrated via specialized tools.
Market segment
Historically small to mid-size online stores in the US. Current Volusion stores are often legacy; decisions focus on preserving data and choosing a supported platform for the future.
Specialization
Hosted storefront: No server management. Built-in features: Products, orders, and basic marketing. Compared to modern platforms, it lacks the same depth of apps, POS, and ongoing innovation.
Main features
- Products, variants, and categories
- Orders and customers
- Payment and shipping
- Basic themes and SEO options
What makes it different
Volusion was an early hosted eCommerce option. Today it is less actively developed than Shopify, BigCommerce, or WooCommerce. Merchants on Volusion often evaluate alternatives to secure their data and gain access to modern features and support.
