Hi Can you help, I am after a good possible free or really low cost CMS for my selling website. I need to be able to add different cart options (ie. Credit card, paypal, others) Add my own style (full template change) Lots of extras on it that can be added Extra pages User accounts Shipping options + more I have a host, credit card system and other websites, I am getting mine built, but I need this site up with most of my options, its needed as a temporary thing why I finish my full site off. What is the best out there as its been a while since I looked into it and things have changed a lot since. Can you help? Thanks
I recommend you osCommerce. This is secure, flexible and very rich on features E-commerce system. The on;y thing I don't like about it is template structure - it's realy sometimes difficult to work with. Anyway it has lots of listing, shipping and payment processing options (included, and addon ones) and it's absolutely free. http://www.oscommerce.com
Oscommerce and anything joomla related sucks. Period! Neither one is a professional solution. Use one of the two following free apps. http://www.prestashop.com/ easy to install easy to use http://www.magentocommerce.com/ Coolest thing since sliced cheese if you need to deploy something huge. Requires, at the very least, having a friend who knows a bit of php. In 3....2..... come the oscommerce fan boys. Nigel
Programming for this is a nightmare with non-existent documentation. I'd say go with Magento which seems to be easy to use and have great documentation
I think you should go for Magento + wordpress. that would be ideal for you. check this out might help you : http://www.magentocommerce.com/ http://www.woothemes.com/2008/10/woothemes-does-commerce/
i`ve used oscommerce & i think its pretty good on what it says!! i`ve sen some guys r bashing it in here...don`t know why?? anyways from my personal experience it proved quite flexible to me...so just have a look around & see whether it suits ur need.
Look at all the ones suggested. See which you like the most and go with that one. Don't judge off the design (as that's changeable) go off how easy it is to use, how intuitive it is, how easy it is to buy - things like that.
Joomlas cart is okay but has many settings,os commerce the same simply use joomla use the cart feature which is 1.5 native now and add the link and make it special permissions to access the link with the form going, to you for ordering or linking to paypal etc. i recommend you use a template and change the grpahics as it is easier for you. then you can add a gallery module to display all your images.
