I would like it to have the following features:
-
Supports multiple languages
-
Allows admin to define a discount
period on a number of products -
Allows members to register, login,
add products to shopping cart and buy
them (probably all e-commerce system
support this) -
Members can pay by paypal
-
Having a contact us page (with a
working contact form) -
Products can be searched by users
-
On each product detail page, there is
an “Email to your friend” function.
What are the PHP open-source e-commerce systems that you know of, supports all/most of the features mentioned above?
Many many thanks to you all.
Check out OpenCart, features list here: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=feature/feature
It appears to support most of what you requested, and there will be extensions for that of which it doesn’t support by default.
To be completely honest with you, the open-source eCommerce solutions are virtually non-existent, or where they are, not very good. opencart is the best I’ve used so far, and quite surprisingly it’s very nice.
