SimpleReview · for CS-Cart · Chrome Extension

Q: Which CS-Cart versions are supported?

CS-Cart 4.x — full support across single-vendor, Multi-Vendor, and B2B editions. Free Edition has limited features but works the same way. Tested on the Responsive theme and popular vendor themes that follow the standard override pattern.

Q: Can SimpleReview hide the 'Powered by CS-Cart' line?

Technically — yes; it lives in design/themes/[theme]/templates/blocks/static_templates/copyright.tpl. Legally — it depends on your CS-Cart license. Free Edition requires the credit; some Plus / Ultimate license tiers have specific clauses about copyright removal. Read your license before merging the PR.

CS-Cart ships 100% open source under a commercial license. SimpleReview reads design/themes/[theme]/templates/, app/addons/[my_addon]/, and design/themes/[theme]/templates/overrides/ — knows the addon/override system — and opens a Pull Request you can review and merge.

How SimpleReview works on CS-Cart

Install the Chrome Extension

Add SimpleReview to Chrome. Auto-detects CS-Cart via <meta name="generator" content="CS-Cart"> and the storefront HTML signatures (Multi-Vendor and B2B editions are recognised automatically).

Auto-detect via the generator tag

SimpleReview reads the platform, edition (Free / Plus / Ultimate / Multi-Vendor / B2B), version, and active theme straight from the page. No copy-pasting your install path.

Connect Git or SFTP

GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket, or direct SFTP. SimpleReview indexes design/themes/, app/addons/, and the active overrides folder on first connection.

Click → describe → get a PR

Hover any block, button, or footer credit. Type "remove this duplicate newsletter" or "rename this checkout label". The agent edits the right .tpl (or addon schema) and opens a PR — with cache:clean and reindex notes in the description if the change touches schemas or layouts.

SimpleReview vs Hiring a CS-Cart Freelancer

Feature	Freelancer ($40-100/hr)	SimpleReview
Time to start (per task)	1–3 hours (sandbox + theme clone + onboarding)	30 seconds (one-time setup, then cached)
Discovers which file owns the bug	20–90 min (theme vs override vs addon)	Instant — already indexed
Knows CS-Cart hooks (`dispatch_before_*`, `controller_init`)	If you hire a senior	Built-in
Addon vs theme vs override decision	Manual	Picks the right layer automatically
Multi-Vendor / B2B edition aware	Manual	Detected from generator tag
Opens a PR you can review	Sometimes (if they use Git)	Always — with cache:clean / reindex notes
Cost for a one-line change	$40–200 (1-hour minimum)	Free with your own AI key — pennies of API usage otherwise

FAQ

Can I edit my CS-Cart store without a developer?

For most cosmetic and structural edits — yes. Theme templates (design/themes/[theme]/templates/), CSS, language strings, addon overrides. SimpleReview opens a PR for those in seconds. For payment gateway integration, vendor RBAC, and ERP work — pair with Vibers human review.

How does SimpleReview install on CS-Cart and is it on the CS-Cart Marketplace?

Today: install the Chrome Extension and connect your Git repo or give SFTP credentials. The native CS-Cart addon simplereview is in approval at marketplace.cs-cart.com. Once approved: Add-ons → Manage add-ons → upload archive → Install → Settings → SimpleReview → connect Git/SFTP.

Which CS-Cart versions are supported?

CS-Cart 4.x — full support across single-vendor, Multi-Vendor, and B2B editions. Free Edition has limited features but works the same way. Tested on the Responsive theme and popular vendor themes that follow the standard override pattern.

Does it work with CS-Cart Multi-Vendor and B2B?

Yes. Multi-Vendor and Multi-Vendor Plus run on the same theme/addon engine; SimpleReview detects the edition from the storefront generator tag and adapts file paths accordingly. B2B-specific features (corporate pricing, request-a-quote) live in addons under app/addons/ and edit identically.

Can SimpleReview hide the "Powered by CS-Cart" line?

Technically — yes; it lives in design/themes/[theme]/templates/blocks/static_templates/copyright.tpl. Legally — it depends on your CS-Cart license. Free Edition requires the credit; some Plus / Ultimate license tiers have specific clauses about copyright removal. Read your license before merging the PR.

How is this cheaper than a CS-Cart freelancer at $80/hr?

Speed and recurring cost. A freelancer takes 1-3 hours just to spin up a CS-Cart sandbox, find the right addon/override, and validate. The actual edit is often a 3-line template patch. SimpleReview already knows the layout (design/themes/[theme]/templates/, app/addons/[my_addon]/, design/themes/[theme]/templates/overrides/) and opens the PR in seconds. For complex work — custom payment gateway, vendor RBAC, ERP integration — pair with Vibers.

Stop paying $80/hr for one-file CS-Cart edits

SimpleReview's CS-Cart-aware AI agent already knows the addon + theme override system. Click the element, type the change, get a Pull Request — with cache:clean and reindex notes when needed.
