    ZenCart Vs OsCommerce
    Zen Cart & osCommerce are the 2 most popular ecommerce softwares for the business developers. Before you open a new business website, choosing a good ecommerce software is very important.
    Here is comparison between 2 most popular and having largest users’ ecommerce applications – Zen Cart Vs. osCommerce.

    What’s Zen Cart?
    Zen Cartâ„¢ is an open source e-commerce application written in PHP and using Mysql database. For more information on the project, features, etc. Zen Cartâ„¢ was orginally based on osCommerce code from June 2003 and has undergone rapid development since that time. It has released three major point releases, and over a dozen minor point releases. The current release is 1.3.8.

    What’s osCommerce?
    osCommerce is an online shop e-commerce solution that offers a wide range of out-of-the-box features that allows online stores to be setup fairly quickly with ease, and is available for free as an Open Source based solution released under the GNU General Public License. osCommerce was started in March 2000 and has since matured to a solution that is currently powering 11,530 registered live shops around the world.

    I believe that OS Commerce shopping cart software looks to be much better. it has really nice features and new functions.
    it is easy-to-use software - that's why I highly recommend it for you.

    I chose Zen Cart when I need to choose in between them (along with some off others as well).

    I think Zen Cart is much more powerful with appropriate mods, and most of them are free.

    However the down side is that mods are easy to install BUT hard to uninstall or upgrade. The concept of its "mods" is not like wordpress or joomla that you can install/uninstall/upgrade easily at the backend. So sometimes to upgrade the mods, and the program itself, you probably better to do a clean install and install the updated mods from zero.

    Just my opinion.

    I think both are good. When I first got into selling things online, I used Zen Cart all the time. It got hacked once, but that's only because I didn't have an SSL on the site. I think as long as you have an SSL, use a free shopping cart like Zen Cart.
