osCommerce vs WebCart - An Ecommerce Platform Shopping Cart Software Comparion
WebCart is introducing its osCommerce Transition package to move web sites poweredby osCommerce to WebCart in a seamless and frictionless manner. osCommerce is afreeware shopping cart platform built in php and MySQL with many hundreds ofprogrammers supplying addons and plugins either for free or for an additionalcharge. Some might say that the system is really free, but others who calculate thecost of the time spent configuring the system might disagree.
Over the past few years, the osCommerce shopping cart system has been an extremelypopular choice for online businesses looking to power an ecommerce web site. Tothose who love free (open source) software, osCommerce (as well as the many otherfreeware type of cart solutions) is and has been a dream come true. Given thechoice, uneducated eCommerce store owners will usually opt for a free cart vs. onewhich will cost money.
WebCart does not posit that osCommerce has a faulty product nor is its intent toconvince anyone of this. However, there are some fundamental differences betweenWebCart and osCommerce, that are floating around message boards and therefore we'veintroduced our transition package so that unhappy users of osCommerce can now havean easy and flexible alternative.
One of the features where WebCart shines is not even inside the platform - it istech support. For many beginners technical support is critical for setting up apresence on the web. With osCommerce there is no easy phone or email support. Theprimary method of installing their php shopping cart solution is by reading theonline documention, and posting questions in the forum. For more information you canvisit http://www.oscommerce.info/doc s/english/c_installation_and_u pgrades.html.
WebCart is the developer of its own shopping cart platform. WebCart does not evenoffer an installation document because they install WebCart for every customer. After talking to clients who were previous users of osCommerce, I can tell you thatmost of them, who were intermediate web users, had an extremely difficult time goingthrough the installation documentation , says Michael Moshkovich from WebCart. Asimple Google search for  osCommerce installation help will produce a wealth ofwebsites trying to sell you an installation service.
