Do you need fast developer support (a must have for a mission critical site)? Tom` 05-23-2007, 12:53 PM Considoring this is for Windows 2000 -- That limit's really what you can use. Although I use WHMCS and apparently that's compatible for Windows.. chiarina 05-23-2007, 05:23 PM I'd recommend oscommerce. Very flexible, intuitive product editor, easily customizeable, and free. If you need a custom feature integrated - you can find it in the hundreds of forums on using oscommerce. So I strongly recommend it. For payments I advise using 2checkout - accept credit cards issued in most countries, recently improved their interface which was definitely inconvenient before.. fionix 05-24-2007, 02:53 AM I would go with OSCommerce as chiarina say, since you have a great support because it is open source and alot of options to extend your shopping card. Mxhub 05-24-2007, 03:21 AM Good shopping carts are creloaded, zencart etc Iggy 05-24-2007, 10:20 PM Good shopping carts are creloaded, zencart etc Both based on osCommerce :D Iggy epcmedia 05-25-2007, 12:29 AM I would like to jump into this with another suggestion - x-cart (x-cart.com (http://x-cart.com)). It is a commercial product written in PHP, but the entire source is available for purchased versions. My version was about $200 and it performs beautifully. It works with over 100 different payment gateways - including paypal (all forms), 2checkout, google checkout, and more. It uses smarty as a template engine, fully uses CSS, and is a dream to modify. I have found that modifying the code in X-cart is far easier than the mess that osCommerce and the other opensource offerings have. For $200, the time saved in code management and programming justifies the price paid. Also included are active forums, commercial support, free updates within minor versions, and excellent end-user, admin, and developer documentation. I am in the process now of switching 20 stores over to xcart this year for one client. For PHP shopping carts, X-cart is my choice. EPCMEDIA anebrosky 05-25-2007, 04:39 AM I've used VPASP premium..it has extensive features and very flexible host-addiction 05-25-2007, 04:49 PM If i was you i would really go and hire someone to make you a shopping cart to suit your needs thus giving you the perfect shopping cart you can also make money from it by selling it ! kyxt 05-26-2007, 01:46 AM osCommerce is a good one. There are some other shopcart based on osCommerce,sunch as zendcart. edu4vision 05-26-2007, 11:10 AM Zen Cart is a good shopping cart. I like it because it is easier to be designed and user friendly. :) surebro 05-30-2007, 08:19 AM If you are looking for commercial product, then you can have a look at CS-Cart (http://cs-cart.com) mxdn 05-31-2007, 04:03 AM Prefer OpenSource than Commerical X-Cart is most Powerful , though you can customize OsCommerce through Contribution to get X-Cart Features, but it take time and you need to have programmer or know PHP. But if you do not have time, and you are managing Big Store then go to the X-Cart side, as there are number of Features help you to manage your website more quickly, plus X-Cart is Smarty (Template System) supported, so you can easily Change the design, and from SEO perspective, It has Built in support for HTML Content Generation, so you do not need to worry about that. X-Cart Offline CSV File Editor is such a Powerful Feature, to manage large store with One Cick. And you will not Miss the Product Class feature "Feature Comparison", to enhance selection and comparison for your products. But Use Only If you have Big Store, otherwise goto Open Source Side |
