For someone oscommerce is best choice while others choose paid platforms. Really, running e-commerce store is quite a challange. And sometimes you would need to switch e-commerce platforms. Now it’s easier. You may use cart2cae-rt online service. It automates data transfer. Hope it helps somebody http://www.shopping-cart-migration.com

I agree oscommerce is a great tool and there are so many resources for it online and contributions. If you can make it not look like the oscommerce template then you are doing well because that is where it lets itself down IMHO. Devon Cottages´s last blog post..Treetops, Torquay

I love oscommerce, its a great system thats free and easy to amend to your template. Its PHP and MySQL but you dont need to be a developer, if you know a bit of HTML and have good common sense its easy to work around.

If you are looking for a free and open source shopping cart that has all the bells and whistles, I recommend Zen Cart!

Make sure to work with a good consultant or a good hosting company that is familiar with Zen Cart.

There is a new ‘kid’ in this space and it is Magento. It is a bit early to say but it seems pretty promising. Here is a short comparison article I wrote about the two: http://www.activoinc.com/blog/2008/09/22/zencart-and-magento-for-ecommerce/

Drupal & Ubercart, Zen & Presta are great solutions. SearchFit is a great choice if you want an application that works right out of the box with no complicated setup. Also, there are many great features that more than make up for the monthly cost (automated Google Base Feed, Compare Products, Product Reviews, etc). I’d be happy to answer any questions… ed@searchfit.us.com

Good article! As a Zen-cart expert I can attest to the fact that Zen-Cart is the way to go-but DO NOT purchase templates to go with the shopping cart. Although the companies that sell these templates assure customers that they work with Zen-Cart there are more often than not coding issues that will not work with Zen and many of the modules that work with it. Zen out of the box is not a pretty cart and I do encourage customers to “make it their own through the stylesheet that comes with it. You can view samples of sites I have done at http://www.ilovephotogifts.com and http://www.modern9photodesign.com. It is a powerful cart with so many add-ons to make your customers experience a top-notch one! Good luck with your decision but I say Zen all the way!
