The best [free] shopping script

[unknowngiver]

Hey
I am planning to setup a website for my dad where he can sell his stuff...
i was just wondering whats the best [secure..] free script to use for that?

And when i say BEST i mean secure and reliable.

Thanks

I use Os Commerce, which is also installable if your host uses fantastico :D

as for security, try google, theres bound to be dedicated discussion forums dealing with shopping cart issues

Just use OSCommerce, it's what I have been using for a while. Quite customizable, but I don't see much point to doing that..

well i want to customize is so it looks different from all the other sites that r using it :P

Zen Cart is pretty nice also. It is a branch of OSC actually. Some people feel that OSC stopped being developed (no new milestones in quite a while), so they created Zen Cart. Also, with many hosting packages these days, Miva is offered for free, and that can be pretty user friendly for someone that doesn't know too much about programming. The latest version offers a mysql option as well.

i used to use zen cart and it was pretty good. But you could just make your own script or use paypal for purchases
