Open eCommerce systems

Post by jklanka »

Hi,

I went through Virtuemart Open eCommerce System. But I need a open source system which supports users to add product to the site and sell like eBay.

Are there any open source application which supports admin(Owner of the site) , clients ( to add product to the site ) , and customers( who buy the product).

Please advice which one to choose if you know any other application

Thanks

I have used and would recommend Magento eCommerce package.

http://www.magentocommerce.com/

It's very powerful, actively maintained and flexible. You can almost certainly skin it however you want to. Or just buy a skin?

The only downside is that it can be slow due to it's complexity, and it can be tricky to customise (you'll need to work at it a bit).

Yup if you manage to reverse engineer all the xml required to load a friggin' module, Magento can be a decent system do this on. If you would like, send me a PM and I'll send you an example of my RMA extension which associates customers with RMAs and associates RMAs with orders and order items. Sounds like all you need to do is create a product object, associate it with a customer and save it, somewhat similar.
