It's easy to add features and functionality that your unique business might need. There are thousands of plug ins that you can add to Oscommerce, many of which are free. Oscommerce itself is free to download and is "open source". > > **Cons**: The support for Oscommerce is not very great and the documentation is not as strong as other shopping carts. If you have a technical challenge you probably need an experienced Oscommerce expert who is familiar with the code. The code is not as modern but it is lightweight and loads fast. > > Using Oscommerce enables online purchasing with flexible technology that can be customized with any feature that you can think of for your business. I have used it for many years, as long as you have a good php developer at your disposal when you need one, you can use this software with confidence. ----- ### "The Grandfather of eCommerce" — 4.0/5 > **Samuel** | *6 February 2021* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was a straightforward and easy platform to get used to. It was simple to set up and install on your server for the beginners in ecommerce. > > **Cons**: It took a bit of work to customise back in 2000 although it was a brand new software and therefore had a good few bugs that took a bit workaround. > > We launched Ireland's first CD/DVD store and we came across osCommerce shortly after its launch. We had the store setup up in less than 2 months and training the team was pretty easy. It had some amazing features for something that came out 20 years ago. ----- ### "It's Just Too Risky Anymore" — 3.0/5 > **Keith** | *5 January 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: When I first setup OSC, it was a great solution for small business. The price was right and it got the job done if you needed an online shopping cart. > > **Cons**: The idea of self-hosting and maintaining your own code is now obsolete. My site was hacked several times and there was a constant threat that had to be managed. Adding new features and functions also required coding and knowledge of SQL. Graphically, OSC was not responsive without major code changes. There are now better alternatives like BigCommerce and Shopify just to name a few. Threat management and responsive site code is managed by the platform and there are many templates and integrations available. > > There was a time when OSC was a great choice for a small business online shopping cart. That time has passed. Unless you are an expert, get on a platform that manages responsive code, security, and risks. ----- ### "The right ecommerce platform." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 May 2021* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The right ecommerce platform. It is one of the oldest ecommerce platforms. The balance between complexity and ease of use seems appropriate to me. > > **Cons**: The customization of the design is more rigid than on other platforms. ----- ### "Very Good" — 5.0/5 > **Costel** | *1 June 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy and practical to use. As well, the experience is unique. > > **Cons**: When I have a lot of errors and I have to look for a lot of information\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/177166/online-merchant?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/177166/online-merchant) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
