Open Source Shopping Cart Software
With the open source community thriving more than ever, LRG have embraced this approach to development of software. The larger open source eCommerce projects can match and exceed the functionality of commercial software with the benefits of rapid development using thousands of software and design professionals.
Open source is freely distributable software which must remain in the public domain and is free to use. Because there are no licensing costs, the overall deployment of an open source solution is generally less expensive, depending on the level of design, deployment, support and strategic consultancy required. LRG Software has been working with some open source solutions for some time now, including Zen Cart and osCommerce, and has found the feature list for these solutions extensive and supported by many commercial products and solutions such as credit card processing companies and accountancy packages.
Key Benefits:
- - Lots of busy professionals contributing to various open source projects means new features are released regularly
- - Open source software has no licence costs, which has benefits for all businesses
- - Not tied to one solutions provider, ability to be supported from hundreds of specialist companies
- - Add on modules for extra functionality are abundant and can be written, adapted and customised as needed
- - Industry standard web and database platforms make moving to and from other solutions or integrating with 3rd party systems much easier
LRG Software can deploy, host, design and market your shopping site based on open source technology, which our research shows makes up a huge share of the eCommerce software market. Please contact us for more information.
