PDG Software

If you use quickbooks, then this is the shopping cart to use. - I tried PDG shopping cart to sell online. It was search engine friendly. I was able to get a listing for my site in several searches. Although being a beginner I was unable to build the storefront myself and had to rely on professional help which proved a bit expensive. I also found that it is somewhat limited in its page naming capability. I also use quickbooks POS at my B&M store and that is the main reason for choosing this software. The problem is that QB POS has constant updates which messes up this cart integration sometimes.

This software is overpriced and outdated and thanks for the lack of support (unless you pay 2-400 for support) this software company has now closed its doors.

The most basic features are missing from PDG Software, such as simple USPS shipping fulfillment, ability to force regions into a particular payment gateway. The entire setup process is cumbersome in contrast to woocommerce or any other platform. The coupon system lacks the ability to set expiration dates and most of the time deleted coupons stay in the system.

PDG is incapable of configuring an e-cart with more than one sales tax rate. E.g. Food items vs. nonfood items in NC. Their suggestion was to overcharge some and undercharge others to achieve some average. When I was not willing to steal from my customers they offered me another license and then only after the check cleared did I find out that the shopping cart was not integrated among the two sides. These people are not reputable. For your own good stay away!

I am a small business owner. I have been using pdgsoft to develop a rather large site 10,000+ items. Because i only have 3 staff it has been slow going. I sell tile and other items for the home and have a brcik and mortar store. I have overcome several major setbacks with PDG and devising work around solutions. In figuring out work around solutions, it has been disappointing because it APPEARS pdgsoft addresses these particular issues, BUT they do not! So now the last straw is that pdg soft does not tell you that in fact they can only pull one field out of Quickbooks Point of Sale system for pricing! That is the sell price. If you sell at any other quantity at differnet price levels you are screwed and have to hire a programmer, not to mention there are issues with figuring out how to let your customers choose color, weights and other data fields that DO NOT get transferred with the web connector. In asking pdg support what to do, they are not very helpful and this morning i was told AGAIN, to sit down and figure out another work around solution. SO IF YOU SELL ONE ITEM, ONE COLOR, WITH ONE WEIGHT pdgsoft will work for you. BOTTOM LINE IS THEY ARE SELLING AN OLD PRODUCT WITH LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY AND THEY BLAME INTUIT FOR THIS. THE OTHER THING IS THEY ONLY OFFER SUPPORT FROM 8-5 EASTERN STANDARD TIME. Problematic if you live on the west coast. The support staff becomes hostile and indignant when you tell them you feel like the were misleading and are lacking current day functionality. STAY AWAY!
