Oscommerce is ok, but you need a lot of extra plugins before you hava a descent ecommerce solution.

Anthony – Now I’m starting to feel some pressure! Know that I tried this in the past as well, but stopped after getting frustrated also (I was using ZenCart then). I’m much more motivated and determined to make it happen now, though. Last time I was really just playing around.

Josh,
I look forward to seeing how this turns out. I installed OSC on my wife’s website back several months ago, and before the whole thing was over, I just got frustrated and uninstalled. Not because of that cart in particular, but the whole experience got me a little overwhelmed. I hope it works great for you. If it does, I may give it another go!

Yep! OSCommerce is 100% free. There are others out there that are also free, but after doing my research, it seems that OSC is the best supported platform. I’ll continue to post about my experience getting my cart up and running . . . stay tuned for my adventures (or misadventures)

Is this shopping cart tool free? How is it possible? Do they advertise on your site in exchange for a free cart system?
