Do you know a good European based online shopping cart software?

Hello,
I am webmaster in a lottery company. I have two questions:

1/ We are looking for a good European based shopping cart software. We currently use 1shoppingcart.com which is pretty good for what we want to do, but I have been asked to search for a European one. We particularly would like some mailing features (auto-responders, broadcasting) in addition of the proper selling and secured process.

2/ Do you know if it is better to have a European shopping cart when you want to sell products in Europe or if it doesn’t matter?
We just wonder if ethically you should use a European one, because you sell product in Europe and because you represent a European company.

So far, I have noticed in my research that 90% of the online shopping cart software are American. The others are most of the time based in UK.

If someone is aware of this market or knows a good online software, please let me know.
Thank you

Hello,

OsCommerce is based in Denmark, if I'm not mistaken. MANY folks from the UK use this cart for their online shops (so it supports UK currency and such). It's free, comes as a basic cart for you to modify to your heart's desire, and the forum is busy with helful people. Hope that helps you out some.

Oscommerce is pretty nice, you can customize it as per your need, also check with ChronoPay an European based Payment processor, i hope they might have some solution for you.
