Snipcart
Introduction
After testing all available options for Kirby CMS e-commerce integration, we chose Snipcart as the best among them, by far.
The main reasons are:
Many payment gateways + custom payment gateway integration if needed
Advanced tax support
Advanced shipping support with the most popular providers of automation support
Advanced invoicing support
Advanced regional and currency settings
Multilanguage and multicurrency support
Advanced email support with abandoned carts recovery campaigns
Digital products support
Subscriptions support, although for now in beta, and only available for Stripe payment gateway
It is free to start, with no expensive subscription
Also, a very important thing is that Snipcart developing team is very active, not just in the development part, but also in the support. In many ways, they share a similar philosophy as Kirby.
