Honestly, I have used alot of software. OSCommerce is the best for online shops. It's definitely the most advanced, and not to hard to customize.
CubeCart is also a good one, also free. This one is a lot more simpler though and does not support downloadable products.Ralix, LLC

If you know PHP or ASP, customization can be the key.

Open Source - Zen Cart is definately the best one Ive seen/used
Commercial - monstercommerce.com is good for the price (though lacks any decent options for Canadian Gateways so we don't end up using it too much)
Hope this helps...www.cartika.com

well, you see i need a really smooth system, for admin, ordering, member section, support system and sophisticated system to handle quite a big amount of products, credit facities etc.
php would be a good option because its easy to maintain and update.
im not really experince with ecommerce websites but i do need a good and realible system for sure.Ash.

How are people getting around the limitation of osCommerce requiring register_globals enabled?
Most security conscious web hosts disable register_globals.

There are numerous commercial solutions. If you are interested in getting your online store into search engines, you are going to want to make sure the cart is search engine friendly. Dynamic websites are not liked by the engines. If the cart is not search friendly, you will need to either design a way to create individual static pages or do heavy modification the cart. But do keep in mind, not all shopping carts are created equal.

OSCommerce
pagekeeper,
OSCommerce is widely regarded. It not only is pre-integrated to Authorize.Net, the company I worked at for many years, but also it is now integrated to the Plug'n Pay gateway so you have multiple payment gateway options.
Hope that info helps.<<Please see rules for signature setup>>

osCommerce also has gateway plug-in modules for pretty much every other major gateway out there.
However, I'd definitely agree that Authorize.Net is the best fit as there seems to be more community support for Authorize.Net-specific gateway modules than any other system and you may find some of them to have support for features that you need.CDGcommerce.com - Trusted Merchant Account Solutions since 1998
