Hello everyone...

I will be doing a review for the top e-commerce providers for a business project soon. I can only pick the top 3 or 4 from this list to review so if you all could help me out and vote for who you think is best I would appreciate it very much.

These are the deciding factors, in order of importance:

1) Most respected in the industry
2) Reliable service, great products
3) Great customer service
4) Good value

Thanks for the help!

It depends what you are selling.

My vote for Zencart

:-) it is the BEST free software on the market with tons of people on the forums who help with any questions

But ZenCart is not an "overall e-commerce solution" -- it only handles a single small part -- the shopping cart.

osCommerce is nice, but so is Miva Merchant...

Again, not an "e-commerce solution", just a shopping cart. Most of the sites listed in the poll (which is not mine) are more than just carts -- hosted solutions, database integration, payment processing... Perhaps you want to create a "best shopping cart" thread?

Whatever you say on this forum, everyone just says "oscommerce, oscommerce, oscommerce!".

Personally I think it's a badly written piece of software. I'd rather have a professional solution which covers all bases.

But on this forum, don't expect anything other than oscommerce.

Yeah, it'd be interesting to see what happens if you do throw OSCommerce up in the list.

The poll's been going for a month as it is, with negligible results (sorry bout that)...why not have some fun with it now? :)


...and, Mitsurugi pm me the dev/web forum that DOESN'T scream OSCommerce...

I agree, I think you've left out a few that should have been included! Like osCommerce!

Which, again, is not an ecommerce solution, but a shopping cart. There IS a difference.

osCommerce not an eCommerce solution? It includes shopping cart, catalogue, payment, stock, all that sort of stuff - smells like an eCommerce solution to me! What specifically were you looking for that's not in eCommerce? I guess it's definition-dependent, but still interested in your answer, it may help some of us!

Seems like you missing a few carts on that list. SunShop is one of them.

Definition of E-commerce: Stands for Electronic Commerce. An E-commerce site is any site that involves the buying and selling of goods and services. Typically requires a shopping cart system and a payment processing system.

Dan,

Can you please expound on this please ?

If I had to choose an application which is the most commonly used "ecommerce solution" it would most likely be OSC.
