    This question gets asked a lot.

    Personally, after using a handful of carts (Zen, osCommerce, CubeCart, Volusion, Quantum), I now use Pinnacle Cart and will stick with it. It has been the best for me.

    I have seen both good and harsh feedback about any ecommerce software I have ever taken a look at. A lot depends on what your needs are. You will probably never find a cart that has absolutely everything you need or want. You should sit down and list all of your needs. Some general considerations should include the following, but within each category, there are going to be many variables for you.

    Price
    Own or "rent"
    What are you selling? How are you selling it?
    Categories & Products setup
    Users & Orders setup
    Manage Emails setup
    Manage Admins
    Cart Settings
    Shipping setup
    Payment setup
    Reports
    Marketing

    Try Googling "what to consider when purchasing ecommerce software"

    Be careful when someone tells you "the best". They usually mean very well, but usually the cart they advise is the one that is best for them.

    You should pick your cart only after you do your own homework.

    OsCommerce is the best script that there is out there. You can find plenty of mods and skins for osCommerce.

    The problems with OSCommerce center on not staying current with MySql (e.g. 5.x). We switched to Magento and rose in the search rankings almost immediately. We also have many options that were very difficult in OSCommerce. I would strongly suggest checking out Magento. If you need a coder *plug* check out NeoNexus Corp. They have been very good to me and several others that I know.

    Actinic Catalog all the way! It is not cheap but once you get a grip, you start saving so much time and energy that you forget about the price.

    You can download a trial version to see if it is something you like. http://www.actinic.com/contact/Register.php4

    Don't forget that you can build non-commerce sites with Actinic too. I've built many shops for myself and clients using Actinic!

    If you want something basic and free with few products and few features, get a copy of Wordpress and test the eShop plugin.

    Regretfully, the Magento work by NeoNexus Corp. that was to be done for us was never completed as originally agreed to in writing. We chose to close down the project a go a different route after months of frustration. The funny part is that NeoNexus Corp. continues to state online how they have never lost a web client. We are certainly one they lost!
