TomatoCart.com - A New Open Source eCommerce Solution

TomatoCart is a new and distinctive open source shopping cart solution. It is forked from osCommerce 3 as a separate project and is free to use and modify.

From a technical viewpoint, it employs Web2.0 technology such as Ajax and Rich Internet applications (RIAs) in order to provide users with a system of its own.



The web desktop application is totally different from traditional web pages. Traditional web pages use plain HTML which only supports limited graphic control and takes several pages to finish one complicated task. The page-to-page loading time does really lower down efficiency. Even though using Ajax could improve the efficiency a little, it might not satisfy the increasing demands of customers for high efficiency.

Tomato Cart’s application mimics the user experience of desktop Operating System, offering features and applications similar to a PC environment. As such, it is fairly easy for both beginners and professionals to get acquainted with it, and even master it. Additionally, it supports multi-window operations and that enables users to work with several modules simultaneously.
