Best eCommerce solution for merchandise business

Hello everyone

Please suggest me the best solution for an online merchandise store for shirts , hoodies business.

Would be good if its PHP based.

Thanks.

 

I like Zencart and Oscommerce because both are open source and there are many contributions that you can use to customize your shop.

 

Rather than making own site using script, you can hire a online store. SaaS technology will help you to get your own store, Have a look at ZSCART - which will let you have a own store.

 

I think joomla will be good option for your business, that have unlimited features.

 

Your can choose the best ecomerce solution here - www.qesign.com/ecommerce

 

I would suggest AJ Shopping Cart Software is the best choice to create your store.

 

I have two ecommerce sites and I using yahoo store and 3d cart. Both of that working well for me.

In case you are considering, Magento is complicated and is a company with bad ethics... avoid

 

Zencart and Oscommerce are pretty decent and easy to customize.

 

Personally, I would go with PrestaShop. If you have the knowledge, there is an unbelievable amount of room for customization, and if you don't, you can still get a basic store up and running in about 15 minutes (or about an hour if you REALLY don't know what you're doing )

Cheers,

I would strongly suggest utilizing Magento, it has a large developer community and is regularly updated. There is a large market place for professionally created add-ons and is built on a PHP and MySQLi.

Personally since making the switch to the Magento framework I would never entertain building a website on anything derived from the old exchange project (aka oscommerce/zencart).

 

Drupal+Ubercart is a great ecommerce solution. Simple to implement and there are lots of free themes available. Its especially good for simple products that dont require a lot of customization.

If you want to go with a hosted solution, try shopify.

 

I haven't personally built a site using Ubercart, but from a customer's perspective, I've purchased several times from an Ubercart site (one that I've seen on several e-commerce design lists actually) that has a very good product, and I'm always disappointed with the layout and usability of their site. The only reason I come back is because its a unique product I can't get it anywhere else, but the website alone very nearly turns me off of their product.

 

Zencart is great

Or just get a wp blog with a proper eCommerce theme

 

If you want something easily to customize, I would go with Prestashop or Opencart.

But Wordpress with an e-commerce plugin is a good solution too.

All of them are OpenSource, and could fit to your requirements.

 

I used Prestashop simple and easy to customize.

 

Agree + Prestashop has a lot of nice templates - http://www.qesign.com/templates/pre...tes-prestashop-layouts-prestashop-skins.shtml

 

I think prestashop is the best option

Pick a cart with a good track record that is fairly lightweight and nimble - at this point you probably don't want to get burdened down by hundreds of features you don't need
