Oscommerce is lightweight, flexible, and has thousands of modules ready to add functionality.

  • October 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the way that the strong user base of Oscommerce has perfected the code and modules in a very lightweight system that makes it easy to build complex ecommerce functionalities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support from the makers of Oscommerce is not that strong. For this reason I suggest Oscommerce only to clients who can afford good programming, and can really find a person familiar with Oscommerce specifically, not just PHP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our web design clients want custom design and functionality implemented with their ecommerce. Oscommerce has worked over a dozen times because of its lightweight flexibility and well-documented code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Oscommece if you have a developer on hand who has already used Oscommerce several times. Finding someone who just knows PHP wont be enough. Oscommerce is not for do-it yourselfers, hire a professional every time. Find one of the pre-made templates beforehand if you wish to save some money. Oscommerce is your best route if you need custom ecommerce functionality and know a really good developer.

osCommerce has saved us software costs and helped us deliver a full e-commerce experience

  • September 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like open source software that has been in development for many years and has a large active community like osCommerce. I feel that using an e-commerce structure like osCommerce gives me more room for custom development changes to help meet the specific needs of different projects. The out-of-box online shopping cart experience is sufficient to get basic projects up and going in little time and without much coding work required.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't as many quality shopping cart themes available compared to some other open or privately developed shopping carts out today. Many of the alterations I usually perform require more in-depth programming work that can't be fully implemented with osCommerce's standard account management features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have osCommerce is our programming arsenal for shopping cart projects that are typically very basic or need advanced development features that may be too difficult to execute in more static environments. Most of the shopping carts we create with osCommerce are sharp and can provide the functionality and payment processing requirements needed to push transactions through to the finish.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Unless you have a reasonable amount of programming knowledge, you should stick to using osCommerce for basic shopping carts since the standard designs my not be as modern as the DIY web builder type systems out today.

osCommerce is a solid and flexible shopping cart solution we can highly customize

  • September 15, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that osCommerce has the capabilities to deliver dynamic shopping cart features such as photo galleries, brief and extended item descriptions and product options such as size and color. I like that osCommerce is constantly being updated and has many templates that we can use to help us post shopping carts quickly. osCommerce can integrate with several payment processing platforms, which is one of the main features we need in a shopping cart.
What do you dislike about the product?
In order to make osCommerce blend well with other parts of our website, it requires some technical expertise with coding and design. Compared to other electronic commerce solutions, osCommerce doesn't have as many plug-ins and modern design templates that work smoothly with mobile. There are some mobile themes, but they just don't look as good on mobile in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used osCommerce as a shopping cart to allow website visitors to conveniently make purchases through the internet. The basic functionality of osCommerce is simple enough for most of our website visitors to buy products without any confusion. One of the primary benefits of using osCommerce is its low price point. We don't have to spend money on monthly fees for hosting or subscriptions. In simple terms, we have completed a hefty amount of sales through osCommerce.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest using osCommerce if you don't have stringent needs regarding your shopping cart's visual design. I think it can get the job done for processing orders, but it might not be the best looking compared to other solutions on the market.

A customizable e-commerce shopping cart solution that runs well

  • August 27, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that osCommerce has a large community of users that help to contribute to its functional development and provide tutorials and feedback for users that may have issues implementing it. osCommerce has all of the primary functionality features that most users look for in a shopping cart. We can connect it to many different types of payment gateways and haven't had many problems in terms of processing orders and managing inventory.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their aren't as many themes that we can use for design purposes. Compared to other e-commerce solutions, there are also fewer plug-ins to add further functionality to our stores. The plug-ins that do exist are often filled with programming issues, at least more so compared to other stores like those that are a part of content management systems or other online store solutions like Shopify.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think that osCommerce has mostly been effective for us since we didn't have very particular needs. We didn't have to design stores to look a certain way. We basically just needed osCommerce to process payments smoothly. I think that osCommerce has been a cost effective way for us to process payments over the internet without having to pay high monthly fees for a shopping cart subscription.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With the right development team, I think that osCommerce can be a good web store structure for more complex e-commerce requirements. For basic needs, it's also very good at providing standard shopping cart features and payment processing. I would recommend osCommerce for most standard e-commerce needs.

Processes transactions well and has good management tools

  • August 15, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
osCommerce works with many payment processors and typically processes transactions without any problems. I like that there are many account, item and order management tools for us to have control over many details aspects of our store. It's pretty easy to add new items to our osCommerce account with a spreadsheet or by manually inputting the product details and images. We can add full details for most of our products along with many options like color and size.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think one of the weakest aspects of osCommerce is the default structure and design of the stores. The designs are largely dated and don't always work well with mobile devices that have smaller screens. Though there are templates available, there aren't nearly as many compared to other e-commerce solutions and the ones that do exist aren't all that stunning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
osCommerce enables us to create a low-cost online store that is straightforward for many users to use. It has a structured layout with several navigational menus and panes to help organize the shopping experience. We can use the osCommerce platform for many types of stores. The versatility with visual design and functionality is as good as we need for the projects we use it for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
osCommerce has an older look by default, but you can use some current templates to start as a structure for a more modern looking shopping cart. You can add in your own fonts through CSS and remove some panes to give it a more sleek look.

One of the easiest and most powerful e-Commerce solutions

  • December 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've created several osCommerce websites for clients. Each one has been a breeze to set up and maintain. This e-Commerce solution is one of the best I've used!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike about this product. Our DEV team was familiar with PHP, HTML and CSS which allowed us to make the tweaks we needed fairly easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of my clients generated more than $1M in online sales their first year using osCommerce on the back end for managing inventory, PoS and order tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth trying out!
