The fitting osCommerce interface
Intelligent and freely available shop solution
The shop system was developed in 2000 by a programmer living in Germany under the name “The Exchange Project”. The open source software published under the GNU General Public License quickly gained popularity and was renamed osCommerce in 2001. Since then, the free software has been used by a large number of online shops worldwide and has been continuously developed further. In the course of time, numerous variants and offshoots have also emerged from this shop system, some of which have been published under a new name. As long as the copyright requirements under the GPL license are observed, this is done with the consent of the developers.
Most offshoots retain the basic functions of the shop system anyway, only convert certain areas or connect it, for example, to the large payment systems. Unfortunately, more than 90000 online shops targeted by hacker attacks targeting customer data in 2011 due to massive security vulnerabilities. Shortly thereafter, the security gap was closed and no further attacks have been reported since then.
Sell on the Internet with a shop from osCommerce
An important feature of online shops is the almost complete freedom of shop design and shop functions. osCommerce is no exception, more than 7000 modules are now available for the shop system. On the server side, the open source system is written in PHP, a scripting language for dynamic websites. MySQL is used as database and Apache as server. While the installation is still quite fast, PHP knowledge is very helpful for configuration and adaptation. Originally there was no template engine available in this system for designing the shop interface, but it was subsequently integrated. The softwareosCommerce Online Merchant can therefore be used on web servers for the operating systems Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS and administered with a web browser.

The administrator area includes basic functions such as creating, changing or deleting products and categories. On request, the software creates statistics about various products or customers. Product attributes can be managed just as easily as different tax classes or tax rates. When supplemented with additional modules, the shop system also works with a variety of payment and shipping systems. For those who want to upgrade their shop further, numerous modules such as special offers, prices only for certain customers, printing of invoices and delivery notes and much more are available.
