I have experience with Shopsite ecommerce software and some custom ecommerce solutions. But now I am being invited to help develop a whole new internet and mail order business. It's a new company and they need an affordable structure.
I know that shopsite as other out of the shelf solutions are somehow limited, but they are still very good and affordable.
Do you guys have any suggestions of other similar (better, cheaper,?) products?
My server's cPanel also offers Interchange shopping cart and Agora shopping cart solution, but I have no experience or knowledge about them. Do you?
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

I would give a looksee at both ClickCartPro and X-Cart. Both are substantially less expensive than ShopSite and both are PHP-driven.

I use Interchange for two fairly high traffic stores. It is, by far, the most advanced ecommerce solution. There really isn't anything you can't do with it. However, it has a very steep learning curve.

BTW - it won't run properly under cpanel.

I read something about it not running correctly under Cpanel. But so where would it run fine?

Question about OS commerce and Interexchamge. Can their codes be changed in order to make the website more SE friendly? LIke changing regular expressionslike?, & and = to dashes and slasshes?
Thanks

It runs OK when its installed directly onto the server. IC is fairly SE friendly, I run the older 4.8 series because I have custom patches applied to it. The 5.x series is very SE friendly, it even has special configuration options relating to spidering.

I will second badtzmaru on Interchange as a great ecommerce solution. Have been developing with it for two years now and have never been let down by any limitation (except the steep learning curve as mentioned).

Runs like a pro on RHEL 2.1 for me.
