Get Your Shop Online with Zen Cart
January 10th, 2008 
With the Internet fast becoming a large marketplace, entrepreneurs are quick to jump in to this new venue for business. However, one of the first stumbling blocks they often encounter is how to sell their wares. With Zen Cart, you get to overcome that hurdle easily.
Zen Cart is a PHP shopping cart system that lets you put up your wares and sell them on the Internet. Best of all, it is available for free. Downloaded as a compressed file, you just extract the contents on your web server and run the built in install script. Details of your MySQL are also needed during installation. Once done with the installation, you can add the different products you'll be selling. Zen Cart is powerful software, with many different options to choose from. Also available for downloads are community contributed additions which extend the usability of Zen Cart. Documentation seems to be the weakest area of Zen Cart. Being free of charge, the documentation is quite meager, dealing with the basics alone. If you are looking for a fast, easy to install, and cheap shopping cart system for your budding business, Zen Cart is just a click away.
Zen Cart requires a web server with PHP 4.3 or later installed and MySQL 4.1 or 5.0.
