Which open-source shopping cart systems is popular now?

The popular open-source shopping cart sysytems are all free and mature during the collaboration and development for many years. Many shopping cart owners choose open-source shopping cart system that are usually the combination of PHP+MySQL. The advantage of adopting open-source shopping cart is that you can make the second development of convenience;Convenient and abundant plug-in functions; The safety will be promised for a lot of testing and developping personnels is maintaining the system. Currently speaking, the most usual open-source shopping cart system include long-established osCommerce, Zen Cart，young Magento，Prestashop，Opencart. After the researching and testing to mass open-source shopping cart systems, IECSP.COM engineer give a summarization as follows: OsCommerce system is too old and the soft code of current edition is unscientific. Managing interface logic is confusion and unconvenience. Many peoples are still using it now, but many of them are early shopping cart owners. OsCommerce is not suitbale for new shopping cart. As the other edition which is based on osCommerce, Zen Cart is more active than oscommerce, which have the same short coming of osCommerce for its bottom is using the code of osCommerce, even though the engineers maintaining it are alway making effort on it. At least ,one point should be affirmed that the subsidiary plug-in and payment transport module of osCommerce and Zen Cart is the most so far, because they are the predecessors in this field. The young Magento is developed on the basis of Zend Framework,possess a good system architecture, but the executive efficiency is lower. In addition, for company engineers, only handling Zend Framework very well can they make the second development. Compared with Magento, Prestashop is more easy to use, which adopt the MVC architecture and Smarty module engine.But, for engineer, integrating Smarty module is not a good project, because it increase the working quantity and difficulty of VIEW development, in addition, it sacrifice the capability. Finally, we have to mention Opencart. The engineers of IECSP.COM suggest strongly that you choose Opencart to deploy the application of enterprise shopping cart,for which merit is that its architecture is very excellent. Further speaking, Opencart, itself is just an excellent Framwork.Php code logic is clear,architecture is beautiful, “VIEW”is PHP code, and capability is excellent. The shortcoming is as follows: Few of the members of research and development teams, late beginning, lack of mass plug-ins and modules being easy to use. We have to develop it in the second time, if we can not bear the comparatively less software functions. To sum up,the suggestion of IECSP.COM is to use Opencart deploying the application of shopping cart, if the customer decide to adopt open-source shopping cart system.
