I’m in the process of building an ecommerce website for our business. We hooked up with a web designer and are using Open-Cart. The back end for us seems simple and we’ve managed to upload over 5,000 products. We will have over 40,000 products when finished. We will need to be compliant for credit card security and integrated with QuickBooks. We will be drop shipping from a wholesaler and need to track our orders and back orders. One other thing that is very important to us is options… what we really need is options within options; ie ( you select a product. Within that product you have the option to choose a size. If you choose large your next option is to the colors red or white. But if you choose small the next option would be brown or yellow). Make sense?

Our website designer understood but can’t seem to deliver. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is a great list but there are more shopping carts now available within this ever growing ecommerce & now fcommerce industry. http://www.vendorshopsocial.com offers a free Facebook shopping cart with great features such as promotion tools, digital coupons, state taxing plus many more. They also offer a subscription package & are always willing to help businesses succeed on Facebook.

Vendorshop is definitely worth looking into if your serious about succeeding in the world of Facebook commerce.

Great list- thanks

I highly recommend PrestaShop. I’ve tried Joomla, OpenCart, Miva, VirtueMart, Magento and a few others over the years. And PrestaShop is unbelievably good! Free source code with basic mods included; and many other commercial mods are available to buy as it’s an active and healthy community. Easy to use, very light footprint so sites load fast- wish I’d found PrestaShop earlier. It’s a dream after the nightmare complexity and/or poor documenatation of some of the others!

Miva Merchant is also excellent and I’ve used it happily for years. Also highly recommended.

Great list, but don’t forget about hosted eCommerce Solutions from Webanomics. A new company offering eCommerce Solutions to SMEs in the UK.

Personally I like Ubercart because of the flexibility it provides combined with flexibility of Drupal. But I think Ubercart isn’t for administrators who are willing to have a very User Friendly backend with only basic front-end shopping cart.

I’m a big fan of zencart but there are some limitations, magento is decent as a hosted platform but for some of my smaller clients the price is too high.

I found a new one, solidshops, does someone have some experiences with that platform? The price seems to be right but what does it offer?

thanks

I am hopefull for http://www.marvikshop.com I loved Oscommerce and Joomla. It’s so easy to make a webshop with the benefits of both platforms. I hope 2.0 come soon.
