what cms do you use for building shops/ecommerce

there are quite a few out there, i have tried a couple of them but haven’t been happy with most. tell me what you favorites are and why opencart seems good but i’ve been using fatfreecart for now

here are a couple i’ve tried/ heard of ubercart magentocommerce virtuemart opencart oscommerce zencart prestashop foxycart creloaded WP e-Commerce storesprite freeway quick.cart

Oo i’ve always wanted to customize a shopping cart product. I once (foolishly) built my own … OMG it took forever and was a bit buggy

There’s also Shopify though I guess that’s a hosted app

We use Magento and its really well built, very well documented for making themes too… would love to see you guys add Magento themes to this site!

Here’s another vote for Magento.

i tried magento a while ago but couldn’t get past installation, i guess i should try it again…. i wonder what themeforest is built on?

I use magento, I think its really amazing.

I use Joomla! + Virtue Mart. very powerful CMS /E-Commerce solution.

Virtuemart seems a bit buggy.

jaswindervirdee : ThemeForest was probably built with Rails like FD.

I have studied so many CMS systems & hosted e-Commerce solutions though I ran with the Flash Based Carts I now sell on FlashDen to cater to those who do not wish to be confound to a specific look or template.

Collis is right about Shopify. They have a great design, e-Junkie’s features are hard to beat, and even Big-Cartel has a great solution for musicians.

All-in-All, it really depends on the buyers preferences.

Though, if you want to develop or design special features into your site, you need the source code.

Cheers, Flash_Cart

I use SalesCart….
