what is everyone using

i am about to start using zen cart

what is everyone else doing

[Acetech]

I'm using zencart, done the modifications, header, template, etc. myself. It's not too bad but have had to add a few mods/addons to get it how I want (available from their site), though it is a bit of a continual work in progress.

I've used OSC, Zen, CubeCart in the past but am also a long time Actinic user - not free though!

If you have already decided to use Zen, what does it matter what others think?

Much depends on your knowledge of the web and html. CubeCart is far easier to get started with, but Zen is better than OSC in my book.

I would put functionality in first place (assuming that they all can be customized pretty good design wise).

Do a check list on what features you'll need and then look for a shopping cart matching that.

Once you do that, you can look @ admin panels, usability & other factors but features are most important in my opinion.

Cubecart is my favourite but Zencart is also very good

[Saajan]

There is large selection of shopping carts in which you can use - some examples:

OsCommerce
CubeCart
Zen Cart
PrestaShop
X-Cart

For my old ecommerce site, I was using OsCommerce.

Im using osCommerce. I considered Magento but they really push you to buy the premium version. Wordpress also has an e-commerce plugin
