osCommerce is an online shop solution that
offers a wide range of out-of-the-box features that allows online stores to be
setup fairly quickly with ease, and is available for free as an open source
based solution released under the GNU General Public License.
osCommerce
was started in March 2000 and has since matured to a solution which is
currently powering
1395
registered live shops around the world.
Today, an
international
based team is dedicated in taking osCommerce to the next level, moving
towards an e-commerce framework solution that would not only remain being easy
to setup and maintain, but also making it easier for store administrators to
present their stores to their customers in their own special ways.
The
success of osCommerce is ensured by a great and active community where members
help one another out and participate in development issues reflecting upon the
current state of the project.
You are more than welcome in contributing
to the success of osCommerce by helping out in the realization of the project,
by participating in the forums, by donating to the team developers or
sponsoring the project, or just by spreading the word!
