Australian OScommerce Shopping Cart

OScommerce for Australians

What is OScommerce?

Oscommerce is open source ecommerce software that can be downloaded onto a server for free. The shop owner does not need to be technically proficient in order to update the shopping cart. The backend user can be non technical and still maintain the shop quite easily - see oscommerce instructions by Day Dream Websites.

We are very experienced at building your online shopping cart to suit Australian business needs. We have built a number of Australian OScommerce shopping carts for both new and existing businesses.

There are 2 ways that Day Dream Websites can set up a shopping carts.

1. Day Dream Websites can start with oscommerce and then customise it to suit your business needs. The software is free. The cost comes in customising it to suit what you want.

or

2. Start from scratch and build the shop from the ground up (this can be very costly and for new businesses it becomes very difficult to make back the money that is initially spent on building the shop.)

For most small or new businesses, Day Dream Websites would recommend oscommerce because it comes with most of what you require built in. What oscommerce does not come with can be plugged in or added onto oscommerce to suit you’re needs (get a quote). In addition to this, Day Dream Websites usually recommends the oscommerce option to new businesses because the more money your spend on setting up the shop, the harder it is to make a profit overall.

Of course the decision is up to you. If you would like Day Dream Websites to quote you on building you a shop from scratch, we can but the figure will most likely be about 4 times the cost of oscommerce.

Anyway, the oscommerce option basically works like this. Oscommerce comes with a stock standard number of features and Day Dream Websites work to add features to get the site working the way you want it to.
