What would you guys say is the best shopping cart script written in PHP? I have checked out a few free ones, and they are not bad, but they are so difficult to edit because they are built with poor HTML and tables to lay everything out. If you would suggest multiple scripts, post 'em all up. I'm trying to widen my options.
I just checked out the digishop script, and it seems pretty good. The admin panel seems pretty solid, and the default layout that comes with it looks pretty nice, for an e-commerce script.
CRE B2B is hands down the best shopping cart....thats after i tried more than 5 shopping carts. You can see the cart enhanced on my websites: http://www.eclipsecartuner.com http://www.uniquescion.com/catalog/
I have heard a lot from osCommerce, but I saw the demo a little while back and the starting template is just awful. I'll take your word for it that it's easy to skin, but judging from the starting theme I'm not so sure. I've heard that is a really good one though.
CRE B2B is the same as oscommerce, but with tons of improvements and enhancements. There are too many issues and shortfalls with oscommerce...for instance there is a paypal bug that allows shoppers to purchase something and the cart doesn't register that the purchase went through. There is contributions to fix many of these issues but you can spend hours upon hours trying to add nearly 10+ contributions just to make the cart useable. Go with CRE instead and you will be much happier and I would recommend getting the SEO_URLs upgrade as well.
Personally I like Avactis shopping cart. It's written in PHP as you need and easy to customize design, because they use their own tags to simplify design customization.
Check out eCart. You'll need Dreamweaver since it's an extension, but it allows for full customization of the cart and catalog pages. It's all compliant CSS too.
Which one is the best for a begginner in shopping carts? I need a wide range templates, a support community and the catalan translation. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=732871 Thanks
happyshopphp is probably the best script for a beginner. It has some great features and very easy to use.
I recommend, AJ Shopping Cart. Which provides you advanced options to make your store more unique and valuable.
