I need an ecommerce script

    Hi DP members, my first post here. I need an ecommerce script for a client. And I have a few questions/requirements:

    1 - Will the free scripts that come with cpanel/fantastico do the job? What are their shortcomings? Any security holes there?

    2 - I need to add a couple of gateway payments because it is for a specific country that has its own payment system and also the client wants users to be able to pay on their address when they receive the product.

    3 - Ideally it needs to be seo optimized.

    Do you have any recommended script? (free or paid) Cheers guys.

    commercial carts = X-cart or Cre loaded

    Open source = Zen Cart

    CMS = Virtual Mart for Joomla

    I'm using Cre Loaded and Virtual Mart

    Zencart seems to be quite popular. You might also simply use PayPal or PayDot.com which offer some sort of solutions.

    Zen Cart has a strong community, there are plenty of help in their forum if needed...

    I see that in Fantastico as a free script. Is this a free version with limited capabilities compared to the one selling for $89 ?

    I'm looking at both zen and cubecart. But I'll definitely gonna need some modifications to accept other payment methods.

    Thanks guys.

    The free version has full capabilities. The $89 payment is optional if you want to remove their copyright at the bottom, which reads....

    I have used Zen, OSCommerce and CubeCart. I have found CubeCart the easiest to customize.

    Thanks. Cubecart it is I guess. I just need to get a programmer. I posted in the cubecart forum but no one replied. Anyone can recommend a good freelance site? I heard rentacoder is better than scriptlance. I would like to post here in DP but I don't have permissions yet ..

    Try finding a programmer at www.cubecart.ORG if you can't get one at .COM.

    I'd reccomend cubecart too, If you can it may be worth waiting for their next release which should be within a couple of months. as it has a great deal of new features.

    They release a new version every few months. Upgrading is usually not that difficult unless you have a lot of modifications. You also don't need to upgrade if you are happy with the present version. In fact, I would not wait for a new version with a great deal of new features, since "new features" usually means time to work the bugs out.
