E-commerce packages?
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2003 11:50 am
Hi! I'm new here and want to see if I can get some feedback on a couple of things. The company I am working for right now has been trying to get a new version of their e-commerce site up for the past few months. A long time ago (before I was hired) my boss narrowed down his search for a solid PHP/MySQL e-commerce package and now we need to decide between OSCommerce (http://www.oscommerce.com) and X-Cart (http://www.x-cart.com). I've looked pretty closely at OSCommerce since it is a free download. It seems to have pros and cons like anything else, it's main problem being that it's more complex and confusing under the hood than they initially let on. Now I am wondering what's up with X-Cart. Has anyone here actually purchased and used X-Cart successfully? How does it compare to OSCommerce? Any major drawbacks (aside from paying for it). Any security holes or anything like that?
My company's biggest concerns are the ability to quickly and easily customize every aspect of the look and feel, must be search engine friendly, and must be able to seperate the catalog section from the admin/order handling for security purposes (oh yeah -- there's MASSIVE paranoia around here about customer credit card numbers).
Any insight would be very much appreciated! Thanks!!
