Hi All,
I know this is the lounge but I always get such great suggestions for web dev stuff here.
The eStore I'm looking for is to handle branded merchandise for my client. Clothes, devices and sometimes even print stuff. It needs to be enough to handle tracking, shipping, payment gateways and to be able to scale well.
I've been researching:
Magento - Home - eCommerce Software for Growth
They look professional and offer different pricing models but I've heard bad things about them when it comes to flexibility and features. Sounds like the learning curve is steep - and annoying.
Shopping Cart Software and Ecommerce Solution: CS-Cart. Free shopping cart trial.
I've heard real great things about this one. The pricing is good and it offers a dearth of features that people actually need. Doesn't have a monster community behind it and is fairly new compared to others but is gaining momentum. Also, good usability design in the control panel.
osCommerce, Open Source Online Shop E-Commerce Solutions
Easy to use and decent community - but it's old technology now and lacks new features.
What do you guys think?

Thanks Phileas - I don't run anything but blogs on Wordpress, so thats not a real option for me.

Has anybody programmed their own custom store solutions or attached themselves to a hosted ecommerce solution like gobarry.com or shopify model or something?

I'll ask around the office tomorrow. We haven't implemented anything like that for my client, but we may have for one of our retail ones.

I'm currently migrating from PayPal (which I now dislike along with many others) to CCNow, the "merchant account alternative." It seems like a great option between PayPal and the hassle of a full merchant account setup.

I've done my own custom store solutions that use PayPal.

I'm giving additional consideration to Google Checkout. Any small business owners have experience with it? It's Google, so it's probably reliable and dead simple, right?

I've seen a demo - as a payment gateway, it's pretty simple. The more you use the Google stuff (App Engine) with it the easier it is to use.
