LinuxWorld: Setting up shop – OpenShop a fine option for businesses new to the Web

E-commerce and online shopping are very real trends
nowadays — everyone wants to make money by selling on the
Internet. OpenShop Business is an application suite for setting up
online stores that integrates seamlessly with commonly-used open
source applications.

“Selling products online has become a very popular business
venture. Online stores are often seen as the way to make easy
money, maintain low costs, attract unlimited customers, and stay
open 24 hours every day. Doesn’t that sound wonderful?
Unfortunately, there is no simple formula for success in
e-commerce. An application providing online-shopping functionality
would undoubtedly be one step toward achieving this success.”

“There are many commercial online-shop solutions available for
Linux, such as Intershop 3, and a whole constellation of open
source applications, servers, and components, like the very
promising OpenSales AllCommerce.”
