Hi, Solenza

Yes, yes, and once more yes!

You should try osCommerce. I have had a GREAT experience with it. Works on both Windows and Linux hosts, has a large variety of modules and add-ons like payment modules, shipping modules and many-many-many...

The best thing is - it is free. Only requires support of PHP and MySQL on your hosting. It can be easily re-designed. We have made OSC re-designs, you can see most of them at www.our-portfolio.com As you can see, these are osCommerce-based shops tuned for special needs and individual businesses.

I cannot advertize our services here, you can see the demo osCommerce shop at http://shop.help4hosters.com and you can contact us at support@help4hosters.com to get login and password to osCommerce admin side.

Please, do not consider my post a spam or ad, I just want a pleasant person ;) to avoid headaches with e-commerce carts.

So, I am pleased to wish you good luck once more, catch the moment in that hurry of online businesses. Get back to me if you need, I have left an email above (ask for Nazar there :-)

Cheers.

So you are saying that oscommere is a good way to start my online shop, huh ? Well, you are not te only one who is saying these things. I am going to download it and install it. Have you installed payment contributions before ? What are the steps to install ikobo's payment module. Do you have experience with ikobo ? Besides the large coverage and the advantages of lower fees what other features deserve to be mentioned about ? Thanks.

Actually, this is our business. Frankly saying, we did not have any deals with ikobo, I am not sure whether they have a payment contribution for osCommerce. But no worries, it can be scripted.

Anyway, not to spam with advertizing here, you can contact us at support@help4hosters.com if you need someone to do the job for you. Otherwise, I will peep in here to help if I can :-)

Regards,

Nazar

Thanks for your offer but I think that I will try to install it on my own. If my result will be negative then I will definitively contact you. :)
I really want to start this online store and I would really appreciate if you could give me some URL where I could find some info about this osc contributions. I really like ikobo's fees (2.9% + 0.29$/transaction) and besides that, it is the only payment service with coverage over my country. Also my products will be sold worldwide so their 170 countries coverage really helps me a lot, hence my interest for this ikobo payment contribution.
Thank you.

Hi, Solenza

May I wonder what is your business?

Also, you have asked about smth to read about osCommerce. I usually find most accurate and up-to-date info at http://www.oscommerce.com/documentation

More of that browse here: http://www.oscommerce.com/community it is a page of osCommerce community (people who use, develop and maintain osCommerce solutions).

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions is a page with 99% of free contributions for osCommerce. Why I mention free - because some companies develop commercial modules and add-ons. For example, we have Affiliate Program for osCommerce, Saferpay payment module, some more, and we sell them.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Nazar from Help4Hosters

:) Thank you.

I finally found what I was looking for. Those links were really useful. OSCOMMERCE IS THE BEST! :) IKOBO TOO :D
Thank you again and I promise you that after I finish with my store, I will go and and see if I can find something useful from your website.

Sorry for rushing into your discussion. I started a thread about oscommerce and ikobo. And found the answer to my question on this thread. I guess I need spend more time checking other threads :D

Glad we've been able to help you. :)

And what do you think about zencart? If I’m not mistaken ikobo also supports this shopping cart. But is it worth using?
