What's your favorite eCommerce software?

I've used osCommerce in the past, but it was rather clunky and not really very good for SEO (Google couldn't seem to find the products). Perhaps the latest version fixes that, but I haven't had an opportunity to try it. However, I have heard very good things about Magento.

Magento is a bit of a resource hog, so I understand, but a dedicated server or VPS should handle it pretty well, so that's not that big an issue. The interface is really quite neat — much better than osCommerce, really — and it places well on Google. I'm actually thinking of using it for a new eCommerce startup that I'm planning.

How about you? Do you have a favorite eCommerce software?

I tried osCommerce before but never really got it working like I wanted to. Right now, I'm using Zen Cart and I'm quite satisfied with it. I've never even heard of Magento until now, and I probably wouldn't switch anyway. It'd be too much of a hassle, switching. If it works, why fix it?

I use Zen Cart too. And at this point there is no point in switching. I can't imagine what a hassle that would be either. I'm happy with Zen Cart and that's all that matters at this point.

Zencart all the way.. The installation is a breeze with Fantastico!
