I don't have much to help for ZenCart and OsCommerce, but I agree with David on using Zen over OSC. The latter project is dead and only the community are propping up any activity there last I looked. In my experience, you have quite a bit of work to do to get an out-of-the-box installation of OSC secure and SEO friendly.
Depending on client requirements, take a look at Magento. It does have issues running on some hosting solutions, and it's a pretty steep learning curve for developers (built on Zend Framework), but it's probably the best Open Source Ecommerce solution available now. There is also a DPS module available for it: http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/reviews/module/281/fontis-payment-express We tried an older version of that plugin months ago, and had problems with it and had to write our own. But the maintainer appears to have done quite a bit of work on it since.

I have also used paystation with ZenCart, and it redirects to their website for payment, so no curl, just POST'ed form. I seem to recall that paystation was a bit cheaper. I would also recommend ZenCart over oscommerce, although quite similar, ZenCart offers more "tools" for the site administrator - at least with the versions I used. Hope that helps. Dave T From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Bennett Sent: Thursday, 18 December 2008 8:35 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [phpug] zencart / oscommerce and DPS PXPay Hi people smarter than me, I'm scoping a request for a client and they want a 'shopping cart' solution with integrated payment. I've used PXPay and PXAccess before, but when I used PXPay last, we had access to the server to set up cURL etc, so it was pretty straightforward. This will be a shared host solution, so I'm trying to find a solution which isn't too dependent upon extra software needing to sit on the webserver. I notice that ZenCart has a PXPay module - has anyone used this? Does anyone know whether it uses cURL or sockets? Any help or jabs in the right direction appreciated. :) Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Warning: This email contains information which is CONFIDENTIAL and may also be LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.
