OScommerce

osCommerce is the King of the free application for electronic business. To give you an idea of its importance, currently, according to its developers, it has more than    251.300 shop owners and there are over 6.600 complements available for free to customize the shops.

We could say that osCommerce is divided into two large modules which will be the external part of the shop, the shop window which clients see, and the back of the shop where the shop management is carried out.    

The external part of the shop is made up of the catalgue of all the products we have. The programme has multiple    templates, there are also many developed by third parties although many of these have to be paid for. With these templates we have the opportunity to design our display according to our wishes and needs. For example the type of display we will select will not be the same as a shop selling wedding dresses if we have a mobile phone shop. However, in the back of the shop we can conduct updating operations, product editing, editing of offers, create categories, set the languages and currencies, consult order files, clients and suppliers, set the payment gateway and a long etc.
