osCommerce

The e-commerce.

Is OS the better than the rest? Zen Cart in particular?

So I have started a small website. Selling about 30 products and growing. My shopping cart (Zen Cart) is making me nuts and I am wonering if it is worth switching?

 

I am hoping someone who has climbed the non programmer learning curve can help me out. I am willing to pay for a shopping cart if it is worth it but I would rather put in a couple days getting to know a decent cart and working out a few bugs than shell out 500$ plus a monthly fee or 2k for a custom built cart.

 

Bottom line I am wondering if I can figure out installing the cart myself and get it up and running with Authorize.net for payments on Hostgator servers. I already have an SSL installed on my site and a bunch of work done on the main page. Wondering what the old pro's think? Should I master what I have and just get over it? Should I come over to OS and if I do will I be pleasantly surprised with its ease of use and compatability?

 

Thanks in advance.

I never used Zen Cart but I can tell you that Osc is extremely easy to install. From there, the add on contributions will vary from very easy to downright frustrating but there's help here at the forum when you need it. I'm a non-programmer but I learned alot just from installing the contributions and working out the kinks.

 

If Hostgator provides cPanel, you can install Osc right from there.
