Choosing an ecommerce cms

Hi ..

I want to build a drop shipping website, and I'm looking for a free open source solution ...

I found wordpress shopperpress
Zen cart
and oscommerce ..;


From your previous experience, which one is better for building small stores ?
which one is easier to run and to customize (code / template) ?
which one has bigger community and more add ons / plugins ?

Will be thankful ..

 

any idea please ?

 

i would suggest using either prestashop or magento! prestashop is really good if you know a bit of PHP and XHTML, CSS. You can tweak it really easy its just like wordpress, very simple and strait forward, i belive it uses either smarty PHP or PEAR, one of the two anyway, i think its smarty in fact! both magento and prestashop are both OS!

 

Thanks for answering ..
I may go for prestashop ..

You can try with Zeuscart - php based free GPL shopping cart software.

 

If you are wanna make your store much effective, then i would suggest zeuscart free open cart. Try it out now.

 

try joomla and Install V chart Module, its easy to install and customize

 

Good info. However I cringed when you mentioned SMARTY. I hate SMARTY with a raging passion..it's an absolute bitch to modify...

 

hey , take a look at oscommerce as i know there are a good folk

 

I would say that OSCommerce would be more suitable for your needs. I also believe that OSC is better than zencart in every single way. You can also try opencart which is very simple and FREE!
