Great sales pitch! Even greater reason to stay with Zencart. Zencart is Free, Zencart works great, Zencart has an open-structure understanding code, Zencart is easy to use, Zencart is easy to customize and easy to implement customer specifik wishes, software and design.

Was never written as a sales pitch – just written in particular circumstances. eComemce Templates was, at one time, probably the easiest and fastest shopping cart to deploy. I haven’t used it for the last couple of years, though – OpenCart does everything better, with cleaner code.

ZenCart and OSCart were always full of clutter.

Templates generally have only one pro – they’re faster to deploy. Their con, you’re stuck with someone else’s structure of coding and/or design, to some extent.

I never comment on these things. I thought it was informative, but it was definitely a sales pitch. You may not have started out to pitch the product, but that definitely has happened. Too many positives without any explanation of the negatives. (And I mean pro templates, but negatives for the osc and zen)

OpenCart IS the BEST and EASIEST shopping cart out there.

Nuff said….

I do and CAN write/edit code, when needed. But who needs to waste time on that, when you are in a REAL business.
I am an ex-ibm manager and I can say the lack of support and SUPPLIED documentation is horrid. For people who sell a lot of things for a living Zencart sucks!

It truley appears, from the zencart Blogs, Post and actual “support” site itself. That Zencart was written BY and FOR zencart (wannabe)developers. As a means to keep THEM in business and not the USER.

…and it gets hacked all the time TOO!

I’m about to do another article taking OpenCart into account. OpenCart is actually quite good and free.

I am NOT a developer, but I stumbled across this site while searching for a solution for Godaddy/Zencart problems. I get asked to set up websites for friends, etc. This time it’s my fiance’s site. I would just like to say that I can edit code and do some programming. However, I really wish I would have let him spend the extra money so I wouldn’t have wasted my ENTIRE vacation modifying code. So, I agree with the author. I may not be a web developer, but MY time is worth money too. So, spend the extra cash and don’t go with GoDaddy and Zencart.

All I can say is that I have worked with both Zen cart and Oscommerce extensively, and what a pot of rubish – its the worst code base, its virtually unscalable because of the spagetti mess of code, installing 1 contribute will make the platform a nightmare to maintain or to install future contribs, because one needs to alter the core code – what a joke. Please do not use oscommerce or zen cart ever.

Well, sir, I’m glad it works for you. It works great for some of my stores, too. It just takes more time than an eCommerceTemplates store does to setup and customize, and that means I make less profit on a store I’m reselling.

I should say my good man, this does sound like a bloody sales pitch. I am currently using ZenCart to sell my million Pound motor yachts and it has come to be quite useful. Carry on if you must lad.
