Agora, Interchange, osCommerce, Zen, CRE Loaded, or CubeCart ...

There are a variety of open source shopping cart programs available and I'm in the initial thinking stage of which would be the best to choose from for one of my sites.

What I would appreciate are some reviews and opinions on the options available, based on other owners opinions who have used several of them.

This seems like the most important part of my initial decision making, and any feedback from those who are versed and experienced would be greatly appreciated.

So which would you recommend, and why?


Thanks,
Rob

 

interesting.,... no input


i was leaning towards oscommerce, but i think know what i will go with.

thx for valuable suggestions<---hahhahah

 

anon, there are quiet a few posts already on which shopping is best, however to make an educated decision you really need to tell us a bit more about what your requirements and expectations are?

What products are you selling etc etc What level or web programming do you have.

Each cart has its own set of features. However Oscommerce has by far the most customisation ability.

 

Hello Rob,

We worked with osCommerce shopping cart in 2005 and after 5-6 months we found and realized that it's very difficult to customize and support online store after you run it. Each time our customers changed their web design they asked us to change the design of their online store, because to change online store design it required PHP experience and deep understanding of osCommerce. So, look at the shopping cart software from this point of view (easy design customization and support).

 

I like cubecart, Of course the premium version costs $, but the add ons are endless. OS Commerce also has a good user base, but it seemed "Too much" for what I was using it for. I still use the versoin 3 cubecart freeware but I plan on upgrading to the 4.0 version soon.

 

I like Cre Loaded. I've been using it for a while and have no problems so far.
