Top 5 open source shopping carts

February 5th, 2009

1) Zen cart

URL: http://www.zencart.com

Language: PHP
Features:

In terms of features and large community support , zen cart is the best open source shopping cart. It is also based on Oscommerce, an open source shopping cart writen in March 2000.

  • multiple customer modes
  • multiple sales and discounts
  • multiple ad banner controller
  • multiple shipping options/modules
  • newsletter manager
  • gift certificates

The one complaint I have with all of the oscommerce-based shopping carts is the lack of a proper template and module system. Because module code is not separated from template/cart code, when there are security updates, you need to manually make these changes.

2) Magento
URL: http://www.magentocommerce.com

Language: PHP
Features:

  • Multi-language support
  • Built-in API for easy integration with 3rd-party services
  • Auto-generated Site Map
  • Newsletter Management
  • One-Page Checkout
  • Create one or multiple invoices, shipments and credit memos per order to allow for split fulfillment

Magento is a great shopping cart. However, it doesn’t have as large of a community (or as many user contributions/modules) as some of other open source e-commerce solutions.

3) Prestashop
