To Use Open Source or Not to Use Open Source Software for eCommerce Sites

That really is not the question for many budding online sellers.

The options provided by open source eCommerce software is incredible. Many of the top programs are surrounded by a strong community of developers who continue to improve the product; create free themes/templates; and develop an extensive array of add-on modules to add extra power to the program. Just a few examples of open source eCommerce software with strong developer communities are Zen Cart, Ubercart, and Virtuemart.

Magento Commerce Open Source Software: Good and Not So Good

I'm one of those who got really excited when I was first stumbled onto the open source software being developed by Magento Commerce. Since that time, I have tried to follow the development of Magento, but alas, I haven't had any first hand experience with using any of the beta versions.

Sadly, I've now tested in on several hosting accounts, and I have yet to get all the way through an installation. The installation process itself is a beast, and it usually requires me to make a number of changes to file permissions, PHP settings, etc. But for really great software, I don't have a problem suffering through a troublesome installation. That is, if the end I could actually get to the fun part of trying out the system.
