osCommerce Shopping Cart

osCommerce is an on-line shopping cart solution that offers a wide range of out-of-the-box features that allows online stores to be setup fairly quickly with ease, and is available for free as an open source based solution released under the GNU General Public License.

An online store gives you the opportunity to sell your products internationally and direct to the customer. osCommerce has two main elements: a shop front and an administration interface. The shop front is what a customer sees when they go shopping and includes many features such as quick find, bestsellers, what's new, multiple language and currency support and much more.

The administration interface is where the store owner will go to manage their osCommerce store. It's straightforward to add products, customize the store, manage stock and integrate with online payment gateways. It really is a lot easier than you might imagine to get your retail business online, try the demo links at the bottom of this page and see for yourself.

OsCommerce currently accepts the following payment gateways.
