osCommerce Ireland

oscommerceosCommerce is an online shop (e-commerce) solution  by the open source community. Its feature-packed, out-of-the-box installation allows store owners to setup, run, and maintain their online stores with minimum effort and with no license fees involved.

osCommerce combines open source solutions to provide an open e-commerce platform.

With no restrictions or special requirements, osCommerce is able to run on any PHP4 enabled Web server, on any environment that PHP and MySQL supports, which includes Linux, Solaris, BSD, and Microsoft Windows environments.

The main advantage of osCommerce is that there is a constant upgrading and update path reflecting what the clients want.

However, to add onto osCommerce, get under the bonnet and make an attractive design, you need to know PHP scripting and the architecture of osCommerce very well.
That is where we come into the equation.

We have been extending and upgrading osCommerce for clients since 2003 and have a wealth of experience in developing and maintaining many online stores using this platform.
