ecommerce shopping cart for free?
Posted on September 28th, 2009 by admin
i am building a website and i need shopping cart.i have googled it but all i can find it very expensive services and they charge per month.
does anyone know is there any free software for building shopping cart or maybe does any merchant service provides you with the shopping cart?
Magento is the way to go when looking for a free cart. Oscommerce is horrible and I speak from experience. It gets hacked and it is badly designed. That goes for all other flavors and forks of oscommerce as well.
When you are ready for an amazing commercial cart Interspire is awesome but Magento will do fine when working with a tight budget.
If you need help installing magento just use their excellent forums. If you need hosting trymy hosting service: www.henryweismann.com. I will install the store for you if you purchase any web hosting plan. I hope that helps…have a great day.

It depends on the number of items and level of skill.
Oscommerce is open source (free) and pretty robust if you are looking for a DIY solution. I’ve used it successfully and love it.
The costs really break into hosting, payment processing, your domain/ssl certificate and any costs to hire a coder (if necessary).
If you have no coding skills want it hosted and don’t have your own processing method, you may just want an online store through yahoo stores, godaddy or some other provider that bundles all of those costs for you.
