I'm looking at Ecommerce engines for Linux. They need to be feature-
rich and allow for multiple languages/currencies, best seller lists,
promotions, customer / purchase reporting, emails on ordering,
shipping, multiple tax calculations, etc.
I've been examining two at present: OSCommerce and zenCart. zenCart
is a branch of OSCommerce and broke on my Debian install (clicking on
a product causes an error). OSCommerce appears to be the best for
me, but I've been told that the PHP source is rather unstructured and
inconsistent for modifying the solution and writing extensions.
The only part of OSCommerce I don't like is that for updates to the
product lists, it would be good to have multiple admin roles with
restricted access for some, e.g. not giving access to every
preference (including items which can break the shop).
What do the rest of you use when building online shops? I used to
use Actinic Catalog a few years ago (Perl backend with Windows
frontend).
I look forward to reading your replies.
