Maybe i’m late,
I’m using PrestaShop an ISC to ecommerce websites… I’ve tried Magento but i think it have some problems in translations and is too big… The module creation is no so easy like the other ones…

I recently moved from Magento to OpenCart, way much easier. Never coming bak to Magento. Look what you can do with OpenCart from a design point of view:

I’m starting a new project and looking for a cart, so far the ones on my “short” list are:

zen cart
OS Commerce / OSC max
x-cart (paid)
cubecart
magento
opencart
prestashop
Early thoughts are that I like opencart and prestashop – lovely interfaces… any other thoughts or recommendations?

The search for the perfect shopping cart seems like a pipe dream, but for now I’ll have to settle for the closest one.
Now that it’s 2010, does anyone have any other recommendations?

Guys, I’ve been working with Tradingeye for over 2 years now, its just an amazing product in the market. Once you get to know more about the product you could then customise it easily.

Anyway, I also would recommend you to try Prestashop (open source e-commerce). It uses “smarty template” which is similar to Tradingeye template and separate HTML from PHP;

@Suzi – Thanks for the heads up.
Kryptonic still uses unnecessary tables in the markup, but yes, it’s better than most.

Hi. I just stumbled across this post and thought you guys might like to take a look at ClickCartPro. It’s available at:

It’s fully SEO friendly and uses XHTML Strict 1.0 with CSS for output. As feature packed as they get too…

I completely agree w/the post, I have been so disappointed by all the shopping carts I’ve tried out so far, particularly in terms of CSS layout and ease of use. I’ll be checking these out.

I know, I’ve been looking for the longest time for a non-spaghetti cart as well. I use one at work that doesn’t even have any HTML when you start. You create the templates from scratch, and there are absolutely no limitations. It even has front-end editability so when you call a product or page description or custom attribute it’s like $group.getDescriptionEditable() and when you’re logged in on the site you just hit CTRL + SHIFT + V and it turns yellow and lets you edit it, but when you’re not logged in, it just outputs your normal HTML. It runs on about 1.5 million dollars of hardware and uses Amazon S3 for server off-loading, and it never crashes. It’s the shit. The caveat is this: It costs upwards of $80 a month. So, I’ve spent the last 8 months of my life looking for a good easy-to-customize cart that offers all the big options like UPS quotes, and PayPal website payments pro. Trading Eye doesn’t offer these. MagentoCommerce does, and it’s free too. The problem is this: it runs on the PHP Zend Framework and it’s slow. It takes about twice the time to load a page as Trading Eye, and it’s hard to customize cause the template calls are done with XML instead of the handy !–Begin– syntax that Trading Eye offers, but it has 50 times the features. I’m really stumped. I’ve been thinking of creating my own cart. Just thought I’d vent, let me know what you think.
