I had no experience with any of them but i want my own online shop so need suggestion. What you think guys which is better to sell ebooks and scripts.
I would rather use Joomla VirtueMart since it has a lot of other extensions as well. So you can add other sections in your website in future. anyway osCommerce good for online shopping as well.
Yes, at first it looks a little complicated, But you will get familiar soon. However just have in mind that in Joomla: Webpage is called --> Content Item (Article in Joomla 1.5) No a good name though, since it was made for blogging in mind at first. Just think of Webpages named "Content item" and you will take grab of it soon. (Just a rule of thumb and you will know more later) And then google it for "joomla tutorial"
Which version of joomla to use with virtuemart at virtuemart site I was that they are giving it with joomla 1.3 but the latest version is 1.5. Is there any problem using virtuemart with 1.5
I highly recommend Joomla with VirtueMart It's easily customisable with thousands of different features I am offering my Joomla services ATM, check my other thread for info!
Oscommerce is meant for shopping online while Joomla's is a add on. I prefer Oscommerce as it is built to be a shopping cart and is easy to use and configure.
Oscommerce, joomla seems seem to run slow for me, i am selling a nice oscommerce template if you are intrested.
Oh thanks. I forget that it still in beta version. after reading all these posts. I am still confused which one to use, I want to sell ebooks and script. Both are downlable things. People will buy and download them. More suggestion allowed. Anyone has experience is more welcome.
I run a SEO firm and we find OScommerce much better for SEO. Our clients who have a OScommerce site typically get better rankings. We have more info here on our Ecomerce SEO page
