I have recently been looking at this ecomm software, its superb and so would like to share: Magento Its open source, although there is an enterprise edition available. Its written in php with mysql backend.
Magento is the best open source ecommerce platform available ... it is leaps and bounds ahead of oscommerce!
have you guys even tried uploading thousands of products using magento? Good luck... lol If you dont have a full time programmer on hand, you will love magento(sarcasm)
Magento is really pretty good - though I am a programmer and I find it's structure quite easy to understand - for the average retailer though it can be quite difficult to get exactly what you want out of it. Though magento does do the whole online shopping thing well and I'd recommend it to anyone.
I agree it has less free templates - but with the ease in which you can edit your own - it doesn't really stop you.
I think it is the best open-source ecommerce platform out there right now. The only back draw is, you need a optimized server to get the right performance.
Try this Zeuscart, this is the best open source shopping cart software. Offers search engine friendly, reliable and secure services. It's provide the good support also.
Yes Magento is great but it is not for begginers at all. You need to be programmer to be able to use this program
