We’ve compiled our annual list of top 10 Best Open Source Shopping Carts. Our rankings are based on factors which include available features, ease of administration, extensibility, frequency of software updates, availability of updated documentation, and more.
The Rise of Open Source Shopping Carts
In 2017, ecommerce was a $29 trillion/year global economy. Organizations and individuals, alike, have taken notice-as the number of ecommerce web businesses increases every day.
Everywhere you look online there seems to be yet another web-based store or marketplace waiting to offer their product…but in actuality, most ecommerce businesses are designed to be as automated as possible, all-but eliminating the need for human interaction on the business side.
By mastering this method of business, an organization is able to maximize it’s potential market base and reach new clients. Of course, not all businesses are able to operate in this way. Even so, there is increasing amount and variety of goods and services being sold online.
Factors to Consider when Choosing Ecommerce Software
This is also another driving force of ecommerce-the ability to conduct business, service clients, and accept payment with little-with the possibility of doing all of those things while no one is working.
The key to achieving this ultimate dream of making money while sleeping, golfing, or anything that isn’t working, is a well-designed ecommerce shopping cart platform. The shopping cart is the lifeblood of ecommerce, responsible, in some part, for almost every facet of the online shopping/online selling dynamic, bringing buyers and sellers together, even when they are thousands of miles apart.
Considering the importance of the Shopping Cart to the ecommerce workflow, we decided to compare some of the available web-store software and compiled a list ranking the top open source ecommerce platforms.
Let’s be clear, most ecommerce platforms can cost a small fortune and create significant barriers to entry for small operations and individuals.
Well, fear not, because we have ranked our 10 Best Open Source Shopping Carts. This guide is intended to provide insight for those looking to start a web business, but don’t want to spend thousands up-front to setup their store.
You can get anyone of the featured software completely free, due to their status as “Open Source”-a term that refers to software which is available freely to the public.
Let’s take a look at the rankings:
