Hi, kethywright

I would recommend zen-cart for I have used it on almost all of my own sites. It is stable, security, powerful and flexible for any size e-commerce site. There are so many add-ons to be used and even better with a nice support forum. :)

I think its might be Os-commerce, Zen-cart and Magneto.

I think you should try out magento or zencart both are quite popular and easy to install and customize.

What eCommerce store are you planning to run and what features will you need in your business?

For something powerful and heavy, go with Magento Commerce. :agree:
For something simple and light, go with PrestaShop. :agree:

I would recommend ZenCart if you're just starting out.

is zenCart affordable to other language ?

Use Magento Ecommerce. Its more versatile and flexible for your online business.

In terms of the "free" carts I would recommend ZenCart. Magento is good but I find it very hard to use.

If you don't mind paying for your software CS-Cart is excellent but as a developer Avactis is my true love. Its so easy to customize and allows for some trully unique designs with its advanced templating system.

We've found that Magento requires some pretty strong systems and heavy caching to be able to get it to a state where pages load within an acceptable timeframe. Also that you know how to best configure your MySQL Database and HTTP daemon(found Nginx to be best performer since we didn't have an SQL guru around at the time).

Zen-Cart & CRE-Loaded are commonly used forks of osCommerce that we've seen and have various features preloaded. Though both osCommerce and Zen-Cart don't appear to have been updated in years.

I think that Zen cart is very nice widely used and popular oscommerce used worldwide.

A lot more features than zencart. What's the general mood about them? http://www.creloaded.com We develop for most of the oscommerce branches, but I'm curious what everyone thinks of CRE Loaded?

Magento, hands down. The community is awesome and it is well documented. If you grow to be huge they will even take care of everything for you.

i think zen card i s best for best application.

Zencart first choice,there are huge numbers site using zencart and ern money
Magento second choice
Osc {it's too old}
prestashop (nice but not so good)
opencart www.opencart.com very new and nice ,but lack payment module and other extensions

Magento is robust.

i think zen cart is best.

I would recommend Magento. It's powerful, great back end & support.

1) Magento is very resources extensive
2) osCommerce is the most popular (but it means not the best) because of their age
3) ZenCart is an outsourced osCommerce (and at the moment better as osC)
4) Jommla - forget it ("all in one solution"). You can't compare it with a stand-alone shopping cart solution.

I think its depends on what are you using for and what functionality you are seeking, personally i regard Joomla as a Content Mangagement system CMS and osCommerce and ZenCart as shopping chart solutions.
