I like open source software that has been in development for many years and has a large active community like osCommerce. I feel that using an e-commerce structure like osCommerce gives me more room for custom development changes to help meet the specific needs of different projects. The out-of-box online shopping cart experience is sufficient to get basic projects up and going in little time and without much coding work required.

I like that osCommerce has the capabilities to deliver dynamic shopping cart features such as photo galleries, brief and extended item descriptions and product options such as size and color. I like that osCommerce is constantly being updated and has many templates that we can use to help us post shopping carts quickly. osCommerce can integrate with several payment processing platforms, which is one of the main features we need in a shopping cart.

I like that osCommerce has a large community of users that help to contribute to its functional development and provide tutorials and feedback for users that may have issues implementing it. osCommerce has all of the primary functionality features that most users look for in a shopping cart. We can connect it to many different types of payment gateways and haven't had many problems in terms of processing orders and managing inventory.
