Hello.
I am working on a new project that needs a customized (both by design and functionality) e-commerce solution. What do you think are my best open-source choices? -

Hi There,
I think what you asking is. I need a cart which is easy to customized and free.
Let me put it this way such thing does not exist.
I used few of them and they all a mess some less then others but not of them are "easy to use or customized".
If you don't mind learning curve and have some patience.
Look at:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/
http://www.zen-cart.com/
http://www.oscommerce.com/
http://www.opencart.com/
Cheers, DS -
Yeah, I realized that later. Thanks for the tips.

Hello.
Our experience is that if you want your shopping cart to validate ( a helpful part of search engine optimisation), then you should go for Zen Cart or Magento. OSCommerce is a nightmare and not very flexible. -

It's easy to make the cart SE friendly but you can't do anything about the core of application.
Now since I worked with Magento for few month I can confirm what a piece of crap.
Looks pretty from outside and so ugly inside. Not to mention how slooooooooooow is it.
Between Magento and Zencart I will prefer Zencart.
Also I'm not big fan of Zencart either.
