Thread: shopping cart question

oscommerce, zencart, spring to mind, gui licence, so maybe not in the true spirit of things, but it is basically what you are looking for. There are others out there you just need to take it by the horns and play with them, after all they are free so dont expect too much from scratch.

As Brian said ... oscommerce has various commercial flavours out there. Think you still have to give credit to the original oscommerce however.

Also getting oscommerce to a "nice" stage would take a bit of work.

Zen Cart is nicer still ...

Magento is coming along leaps and bounds ... but its still a bit away in my mind for being ideal for everyone.

Yeah I'd have to give ZenCart the thumbs up.

From an administration and modding point of view, it's nicer than osCommerce.

Thanks all for the feedback

OS Commerce and ZenCart don’t have support though. Another of the criteria is the product must have excellent technical support.

Anyone know of another cart that meets these criteria?

There's a huge community of support for both packages.
If this isn't good enough, open source/free applications are out the window.

The only other option left for you is something like www.actinic.com - this integrates with QuickBooks too. Having worked with it in the past, it's not the nicest system available.

It's a trade off, if you want support where you lift the phone and solve a problem, then you pay your money and bite the bullet.

Why would someone go to all the trouble of making something that fantastic for free, just for you to resell it and make money for doing nothing ?

If it's free, there's a reason. Why don't you do the right thing and develop your own or hire someone, then it's your IP and you can resell it all you want.

Hi Link8r,

I did not state anywhere that the application should be free. The shopping cart should be as easy as possible to customize regardless of price. (within $2k)

maybe that opens up the field a bit? any others to note?

Has anybody out there tried volusion software linked to the Sage Pay Realtime? Interested in any feedback you might have
