Been researching all the various shopping cart software solutions out there. And there are many. On the open-source end, there is OSCommerce, ZenCart, MagentoEcommerce, Substruct, Drupal+Ubercart, and Prestashop. As for purchasable solutions, there is X-Cart. My main requirements so far has been PHP or RoR and if possible free. I have not looked at any of the ASP.NET solutions and really do not want to.

Currently, I have OSCommerce installed and set-up for my HawaiiFloristOnline.com. I have not integrated it with Authorize.net yet so I am unable to take orders. I am just fearful that OSCommerce is so easily hacked. Anyone have any experiences with OSCommerce being hacked?

Also anyone got any experiences with the shopping cart solutions I listed above? My top three are currently (notes in parenthesis):

-*List below is in no particular order*-

Substruct (RoR based and will require some dev to make perfect. Not sure of SEO capabilities.)

MagnetoEcommerce (First production release slated for 3/31/08. Early adoption can be painful.)

Drupal+UberCart (Still not a full production release of UberCart)

Please advise.
