VirtueMart wins over osCommerce

The majority of our customers asked what exactly are the benefits of picking VirtueMart over osCommerce cs (CRE Loaded, Zen Cart, osCMax) and Magento. Well, here are what we think:

1. Caching technique is much better with Joomla default cache or some other Joomla cache extensions.
2. You can create content as many as you would like. A information can be an article with animated javascript and pics, or a element inside of an article, or a module inside of an article, or a static HTML pages, or dynamic HTML pages, or a flash inside of article, etc etc.
3. osCommerce cs state that they have a lot of template patterns available from which to choose. Well, it's still somewhat a fact. That is why we are here with the intention that as a minimum VirtueMart contains many web theme layouts to pick from either.
4. You may still find plenty of space for upgrades. While osCommerce cs currently got to the stalemate or maturation phase and not too much room for additional enhancements, VirtueMart still has plenty of room for changes.
5. Security is more advanced. Unlike osCommerce cs that still use the old crack dangerous register_global ON.
6. Flexibility is quite high when it comes to design or layout. You can certainly put any kind of module (cart module, producer module, currency module, search module, flash module, image slideshow module, accordion, sliding, fading, application in module, module in application, etc) to any location you like. You can position a header on footer, footer on header, cart over header, header over cart, sliding, fading, tabs, etc. Position is confined only by your imagination and imagination.
7. Compatible with PHP 5 and MySQL 5 for a lot better efficiency and safety. If you are creating a new online store, you would better build with the one that is compatible with PHP 5 and MySQL 5 since PHP 4 and MySQL 4 is certainly going to be outdated fastly. osCommerce, Zen Cart, CRE Loaded and osCMax are not suitable for PHP 5 and MySQL 5.
8. Cart features are great: Multiple seller, item attributes, product specials, unlimited products and types, various product types, flexible user fields, edit order, selling downloadable files, complete payment and shipping modules including Google checkout or create your owns, confirmation email, transfer to Quickbooks, catalog or cart, separate price per customer, etc etc.
9. Built-in with Joomla CMS, implies you might have a shopping cart combined with any other non-cart features like user forum, news portal, social networking, blogs, any kind of subscription service, ads management, auction site, event management, calendar, image gallery, image slideshow, flash gallery, flash slideshow, virtual classroom, real estate property, hotel reservation, stock market, event registration, wikipedia, etc.
10. Support multi languages. Whilst osCommerce, Zen Cart, CRE Loaded and osCMax only support 3 languages (German, Spanish, English), Magento also encourages 3 languages (German, French, English), VirtueMart along with Joomla presently supportmore than 60 language and they are nonetheless developing for other languages around the globe.
11. SEF and SEO are much more advanced and free, more than ever with sh404SEF. We found it far better compared to osCommerce paid SEO scripts. osCommerce cs are very limited in meta tags optimization whilst Joomla has a lot of plug-ins that can easily maximize your meta tags optimization.
