Zen Cart™ truly is the art of e-commerce; free, user-friendly, open source shopping cart software. The ecommerce web site design program is being developed by a group of like-minded shop owners, programmers, designers, and consultants that think ecommerce web design could be and should be done differently.
Some shopping cart solutions seem to be complicated programming exercises instead of responding to users' needs, Zen Cart™ puts the merchants and shoppers requirements first. Similarly, other shopping cart software programs are nearly impossible to install and use without an IT degree, Zen Cart™ can be installed and set-up by anyone with the most basic web site building and computer skills.
Zen Cart用php语言开发,基于mysql数据库。部署Zen Cart最好的服务器环境当然是Linux了。如果单独购置一台服务器来部署这个小型外贸网站,似乎有点太过浪费了,一个是服务器购置与托管成本过高,另一个服务器维护也颇费周折。这种情况下,考虑到外贸网站面向的客户主要来源于欧美地区,所以一般会建议购置国外的虚拟主机空间。以Godaddy为例,包括域名、SSL安全证书以及一年的数百G空间的费用总共不到500元。我在另外一个博客中曾今介绍过,有兴趣朋友可以了解一下。域名主机的选购我将在日后给大家详细介绍一下。
