Starting a E-Commerce site

bluenoser · 11-21-2005, 10:50 AM

I am going to be starting a Ecommerce site shortly and was wondering what the members here think of ZenCart

Hi bluenoser,

I am not actually used that cart ( hopefully someone here can help you more ) but I had a quick look through their support forum, something I always do when looking at a new piece of software

Generally there do not seem to be many problems, most caused by people that are unsure of what they are doing. The only thing to check is your server matches their recommended spec.

Other than that, it is free so download a copy and have a play around ... if you don't get on with it you can always delete it and try another.

All the best

Richard

I recommend osCommerce. Two nice distributions of osC are osCMax (oscdox.com) or CRELoaded (creloaded.com)

creloaded is bloated with stuff on it.... I'd pick osCMax over it any dya.

Me too, I really like osCMax, just recommending a few options.

I have decided to stay away from osCommerce, however I am still looking for people's thoughts on ZenCart

The best is custom cart.
ZenCart is ok.

ZenCart is easy and simple to operate once you get to know it a bit.

I started with it, messed around for a day or two and thanks to the user supported forums (Quite good) i found my way around adding hacks etc.

With time and patience, ZenCart is a worthy choice - Though i have never tried osCMax etc.

Hope Ive Helped,

Ta-ra.
