it comes to ecommerce, in particular open source ecommerce, there is a lot of competition out there. Starting out selling products and services can be complicated, with terms like ‘conversion rates’, ‘EPOS’ and ‘merchant ID’ often confusing matters further. What would appear to make matters worse would be the huge choice of software available, from big players such as Actinic and Big Commerce right through to the community-built and often free offerings like osCommerce and Zen Cart.
Coming from a PHP / MySQL background, it was with great pleasure, then, that I came across TomatoCart, a powerful and full-feature shopping cart software based on the osCommerce package. It’s free, it’s fast and it looks great.
