Question PHP Shopping Carts?

I am looking for a PHP shopping cart option. I'd prefer it to be free software, but I'm willing to pay some money if I have to for quality. I'd also prefer that the URLs be search engine friendly and that it be easily integratede into my website. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Zen Cart is a great shopping cart.
Its CMS based I believe so all the Admin functions are built into it.

I've built several web sites and although it's not free, it's worth every penny. The system we use is X-Cart from http://x-cart.com/. It costs about $200, but again, very feature rich and the developers are very responsive to help. They have a less expensive alternative called LiteCommerce at about $95 that has fewer features but can be very worth while for a small operation. You can look to see how a couple samples work by looking at a couple sites I've built using this software;

Good luck.

OsCommerce is quite popular.

I've tried both OsCommerce and Zen Cart. Both worked well for me.

I wouldn't suggest OSCommerce or Zen Cart, both are a waste of time in my opinion. I have read decent reviews of X-Cart but I have yet to try it. If I were you, I would go with a paid solution such as X-Cart, you don't want to be stuck on software such as OSCommerce down the line.

X-Cart is good. OsCommerce is also pretty good. I've never tried Zen Cart, though.

Zen Cart and OsCommerce are two I would highly recommend.

You could also try this site:

Thanks for the suggestions on shopping carts!

So I've now tried OsCommerce and Zen Cart. I need to figure out which to go with.

OsCommerce would be my choice. There are a lot of customizations available for it, and also a few more payment processors that are compatible.

My 2cents..
