| I'm actually doing a zen cart install for one client at the moment and I'm kinda loving it.
What I like about it I have to admit is that everything seems to be in there. I don't have to go hacking too much stuff or so it would seem.
osCommerce became a complete nightmare before  I was looking at CRELoaded ... but didn't feel like something that would contain adverts? (free version) |
Thanks Forb, saved me actually doing some research.
Thats Magento off the cards now.

Yep, noticed that when i was looking at the code believe it or not. One is based on the other, however the interface and features arealmost completely different.

ZenCart .. seems to be semi stable as well OSCommerce seems to be in a constant alpha stage of development.
I've used both now ... and ZenCart is a dream in comparison. (I'd used Zen Cart in the past and have to admit I wasn't that impressed ... I installed it yesterday and was semi blown away ... by what its offering) |
Yah. Zen Cart is nifty enough.... well i'm going with that then well so...
thanks for the replies!
