Great article, thank you for your labor.

It would be interesting to consider separately the Open Source and SaaS solutions.

We are using for all of our projects Zend Framework – free and reliable (framework from Zend company, creator of the PHP language).

Best ecommerce CMS (based on ZF):
Magento (http://www.magentocommerce.com) – leading CMS, very powerful, but very slowly and heavy demands for servers
Digitalus CMS (http://digitaluscms.com) – not bad CMS
Cute CMS (http://cutecms.org/) – light and flexible platform that can be adapted to a wide range of sites

Since I had my share of problems with several of the packages mentioned above (and others as well), I try do to better with our own hosted solution http://www.solidshops.com. I’m a web designer myself and know what the pitfalls are when implementing e-commerce for clients. Magento is cool, but overly complex for my clients to use. Give SolidShops a try if you’re looking for a hosted solution and if you want 100% customizable templates. My two cents.

Business Catalyst DOES NOT offer phone support. That’s one of their biggest problems, considering the amount of bugs they have. I have been a reseller since before it was acquired by Adobe and now I am moving my clients to different platforms. They surely have a good product but it’s far from being what they say it is.

Customer support is just awful. Since there is no phone support you have to wait 2 – 3 days for someone to reply to a ticket.

osCommerce – this one of the oldest free e-commerce apps that offer several marketing options and supports most of the payment system. This multilingual and SEO friendly app works with PHP/MySQL.

I’ve used Open Cart and it’s not bad at all. I was sceptical to begin with, but no nasty shocks, everything was smooth and the interface is very intuitive.
