Money Monday : Cart of Carts

Published on Monday, June 09, 2008

One of the first things that comes to my mind when I think of making money online is a shopping cart. All of our hosting plans come with the ability to install osCommerce in just a few clicks and a lot of our customers really like this program. Another program that can easily be installed on your Surpass account is Zen Cart. Have you used either of these programs before, and if so, which is your favorite? Or maybe you use a different application for your online store and can’t imagine using anything else. We are looking to offer an alternative web store program to all Surpass customers (with free licensing) and would like your help in deciding which one. Please leave a note in the comments for us so we can begin the search!

Magento -- http://www.magentocommerce.com/ -- is the way to go!

Virtuemart. The BEST cart. Free, easy, supported, and seamless installation on any JOOMLA site.

People should crank out their own. This way it can integrate with whatever they're cranking out already.

I am setting up my Magento Cart now, it is still fairly new and being built from the ground up.There is a learning cureve if you are used to OScommerce or ZenCart but well worth it in my opinion. The end result is a VERY professional site with great features. I will be switching over to it from ZenCart.

MikeR, thank you for your insight on this, much appreciated! Sounds like Magento is the new wave in carts.
