osCommerce Online Merchant

Oscommerce Is A Highly Customizable Shopping Cart Solution

Kommentare: Using Oscommerce enables online purchasing with flexible technology that can be customized with any feature that you can think of for your business. I have used it for many years, as long as you have a good php developer at your disposal when you need one, you can use this software with confidence.

Vorteile:

Oscommerce is very flexible and easy to customize. It's easy to add features and functionality that your unique business might need. There are thousands of plug ins that you can add to Oscommerce, many of which are free. Oscommerce itself is free to download and is "open source".

Nachteile:

The support for Oscommerce is not very great and the documentation is not as strong as other shopping carts. If you have a technical challenge you probably need an experienced Oscommerce expert who is familiar with the code. The code is not as modern but it is lightweight and loads fast.

The Grandfather of eCommerce

Kommentare: We launched Ireland's first CD/DVD store and we came across osCommerce shortly after its launch. We had the store setup up in less than 2 months and training the team was pretty easy. It had some amazing features for something that came out 20 years ago.

Vorteile:

It was a straightforward and easy platform to get used to. It was simple to set up and install on your server for the beginners in ecommerce.

Nachteile:

It took a bit of work to customise back in 2000 although it was a brand new software and therefore had a good few bugs that took a bit workaround.

Somehow oudated ecommerce solution

Kommentare: We worked with this more than 12 years ago and back then, it felt already as outdated so we started working with VirtueMart for Joomla and Prestashop, which we felt at that time were better options and easier to work with. Nowadays we work with WooCommerce for WordPress which is an incredible solution and if worked properly, can scale a lot.

Vorteile:

It's opensource, so that's always a plus

Nachteile:

It's limited in different ways although it is opensource, because to code on top of it requires a steep learning curve and community is not that big so there are not there many addons compared to other opensource solutions that evolved a lot more

The right ecommerce platform.

Vorteile:

The right ecommerce platform. It is one of the oldest ecommerce platforms. The balance between complexity and ease of use seems appropriate to me.

Nachteile:

The customization of the design is more rigid than on other platforms.

Very Good

Vorteile:

It is easy and practical to use. As well, the experience is unique.

Nachteile:

When I have a lot of errors and I have to look for a lot of information!
