I'd like to suggest people planning to start eCommerce that Prestashop is the real easiest among all the known shopping carts available.This is my personal experience. I tried few of 'em & came to the conclusion that Prestashop is the real easy one for any newbie. I hope I'll use this script only for my new site. Plz feel free to add your views & suggestions. Regards.
I like Prestashop too. But two other of my favorites are Open Cart and osCommerce http://demo.opencart.com/ http://demo.oscommerce.com/ Code (markup):
i love prestashop its amazing, very easy to use and easy to SEO too. The best e-commerce platform around and the best thing about it is its FREE!
i think that is one i tried and thought it suck. you see the prices of the mods? http://www.prestastore.com/payment-modules-prestashop/443-payment-authorizenet.html ~$420 for a authorizenet payment mod!?!
Yep its free. Its one of the most advanced ecom software right now. More over it has got a great community and so the support will be great. Agni
Opencart looks awesome, but seriously - no SEO URLs? I cant understand what is wrong with some developers these days.
Basically impossible to run in PHP/MySQL/IIS (Windows) with some speed. Even on *nix people have trouble to get it runing on a good speed, since the code is just a mess. So many calls here and there that speed is becomming an issue. Prestashop is runing lightening fast. So if you need a minivan, don't go with a 32-seat bus! - Look at the features. If you don't need some of the features that Magento has over Prestashop, then skip Magento. Not worth the trouble!
