Testimonials
The StoresOnline Website is full of testimonials that make it appear easy for anyone to make money on the internet. But the fine print says "Testimonial results are not typical and your individual results will vary". The links below reflect what typical results really are. Testimonials are broken up in the following:
- Not Satisfied: 605
- Neutral: 89
- Satisfied: 95

Getting A Refund
If you're having second thoughts about having just signed up for a very expensive internet storefront, you may be entitled to a refund, and you most certainly are if it's been less than 3 days since you signed a contract or gave them money. Click on the appropriate link below to get more information.
Additionally, there are a variety of actions against the company, some of these have provisions for getting a refund even long after the 3 days.
Current Customers
Based on their annual report, I estimate that StoresOnline has sold about 200,000 website licenses in the past 2 years at their seminars. However, there appears to be only about 20,000 StoresOnline-powered websites now, and about 1/3 of those don't work.
Legal Issues
StoresOnline does its business by offering high-pressure seminars with well-presented stories about how easy it is to make money on the internet. Their sales people then convince people to spend thousands of dollars on their software package. Many states would describe this activity as a Business Opportunity, which has different disclosure requirements than simple software sales.
North Carolina, Florida, Utah, Illinois, Indiana, California and others have lawsuits against iMergent right now. North Carolina residents can get their money back by requesting it through the AG's office. The company has been forced to refund money in several places, even after the 3-day "cooling off" period.
