About OsCommerce
The way the world does business has changed with the advent of the internet, more so with the coming of secure payment channels, making e-commerce the way of life of millions of people the world over. Right from education to shopping, banking to tickets, entertainment to fashion, everything is now done online. Enabling this ease of online shopping are store management software that enable retailers to hawk their wares online, sell them and get secure payments.
One such software that is growing in popularity as an e-commerce and online store management software programme, is OsCommerce. Released in 2014 by developer Harald Ponce de Leon, it is compatible with all web servers that have PHP and MySQL. A free software, under the General Public License, OsCommerce helps online retail merchants set up an online store which they can host themselves without incurring any cost. It includes a website through which they can transact sales of products and services to any customer the world over and a complete online store solution which has features to adapt for the customer visible section or the store front end, making it appealing and easy to use, as well as a complete backend solution for the online retailer to manage and run his business with functionalities such as marketing, sales, receiving payments, stock and dispatch of goods.
Once OsCommerce is installed, the merchant has total access and control of all the data and the working of the online portal, making him independent to take decisions on modifications and additions. Does that mean that one you download the software; you are on your own? Not in the least.
