OSCommerce or ZenCart?

Which is better? What are the pros and cons of each?

stay clear of Oscommerce...
we run one site with it http://hardware.hk.com and it is a crock of shit to patch, upgrade and add stuff to unless you have got some seriousl PHP skills.

Maybe it has improved lately but I doubt it. The whole thing seems inherently flawed.

If you like the site hardware site, we have I will sell you a copy as it cost us a pile of cash to do. Clear the database, change the logo and add your products. Don't bother trying to do it from scratch.

In fact I could probably mirror the drive and then you have all the OS, libraries and pre-requisites configured.

I agree on the OSCommerce being tough to patch and the lack of a good module / plugin architecture.

BUT .. isnt Zencart a spinoff of OSCommerce?

I've been happy with X-Cart ... takes some amount of getting used to, but over the years I've found the russians pretty helpful if you're nice to them.

A bit messed up on your site, here's a page for a rack:

http://hardware.hk.com/catalog/produ...roducts_id=155

Click on the picture and you get a clunky Netra T1.

I've never used zencart. I wouldn't use the OScommerce.

Moo, yeah the database on hardware.hk.com is corrupt, the site is being retired soon and replaced by our new site.
