EliteCart starts at $29.99 a month for 200 orders, with a reward bar in the cart and AI translations and custom sections on Professional, but beyond the included orders only gives examples. For a small store on a budget, look at Assortion; for a multilingual store that wants more control over the cart drawer, EliteCart."
