The major disadvantages of osCommerce are that there is no inbuilt ways to password protect the administration area of osCommerce. osCommerce is also not template driven, however there are style sheets and you can also quickly change the shared footer, header etc. Even then, changing the look of the website is not so easy or flexible as compared to a template driven solution. Another major disadvantage of osCommerce is that if any kind of customization is required, it can take time to change the code without the help of the developer. Also osCommerce has a very limited attributes system. If you are relying heavily on the attributes, you may need to seriously look at the modification or you may also consider using another cart system. osCommerce has huge limitations of large product catalogs as they require modules for the input and management of data if the product information is changing frequently. A catalog of more than a few hundred products may need changes to the elements of product administration, and very large catalogs may need modifications so they can be searched and browsed effectively.

To start OsCommerce development you will need PHP 4.1 enabled web server running on Microsoft Windows, BSD, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X operating system. In it you will find support for large varieties of credit card processors and shipping services. When using OsCommerce you do not have to worry about the number of products you can add to your site. You can actually add 10’s of thousands of products.
