osCommerce vs WebCart - An Ecommerce Platform Shopping Cart Software Comparion

WebCart is introducing its osCommerce Transition package to move web sites powered
by osCommerce to WebCart in a seamless and frictionless manner. osCommerce is a
freeware shopping cart platform built in php and MySQL with many hundreds of
programmers supplying addons and plugins either for free or for an additional
charge. Some might say that the system is really free, but others who calculate the
cost of the time spent configuring the system might disagree.

Over the past few years, the osCommerce shopping cart system has been an extremely
popular choice for online businesses looking to power an ecommerce web site. To
those who love free (open source) software, osCommerce (as well as the many other
freeware type of cart solutions) is and has been a dream come true. Given the
choice, uneducated eCommerce store owners will usually opt for a free cart vs. one
which will cost money.

WebCart does not posit that osCommerce has a faulty product nor is its intent to
convince anyone of this. However, there are some fundamental differences between
WebCart and osCommerce, that are floating around message boards and therefore we\'ve
introduced our transition package so that unhappy users of osCommerce can now have
an easy and flexible alternative.

One of the features where WebCart shines is not even inside the platform - it is
tech support. For many beginners technical support is critical for setting up a
presence on the web. With osCommerce there is no easy phone or email support. The
primary method of installing their php shopping cart solution is by reading the
online documention, and posting questions in the forum. For more information you can
visit http://www.oscommerce.info/docs/english/c_installation_and_upgrades.html.

WebCart is the developer of its own shopping cart platform. WebCart does not even
offer an installation document because they install WebCart for every customer.
"After talking to clients who were previous users of osCommerce, I can tell you that
most of them, who were intermediate web users, had an extremely difficult time going
through the installation documentation", says Michael Moshkovich from WebCart. A
simple Google search for "osCommerce installation help" will produce a wealth of
websites trying to sell you an installation service.

Stay tuned for more news on this latest development of the osCommerce Transition
Upgrade package from WebCart. If you are want to upgrade from a free online
storefront and/or you are analyzing specific criteria for developing a new ecommerce
powered Shopping Cart software platform, please contact the developers of WebCart at
