    I don't suppose any of you have any experience with any of the following, do you?

    OpenCart

    Volusion

    CubeCart

    Spree Commerce

    If so - how did you find working with them?

    I can recommend Magento, LemonStand and Shopify -- all of which are pretty damn good, but I've no production experience of any of those you mentioned.

    OK thanks Jord.

    (I knew someone here would say Magento!)

    A bit late to the game here (forgot this site existed!) but go for LemonStand.

    Luke: have you built a big catalogue/well trafficked production site in LemonStand?

    I've had a play with it and it looks really nice, but not had experience in production, which is where (IMO) you really find out what a system is really up to.

    Jordan: Sorry for the really late reply. This community is so slow recently that I don't check on it often!

    The largest site I've built in LemonStand has around 200 products, the back-end is really good at the moment but I'd say the core is still a little underdeveloped. For example, it's quite hard to create a single-page checkout... By default their checkout system is driven by AJAX and our developer had some troubles working with that. However, our developer is—for want of a better word—shit, so it could be completely his fault that it seemed so difficult.

    That being said, I'd definitely recommend it. You get what you pay for... The support team are great and it has a fairly good community on Twitter and on the forum. It's also really easy to build templates for it :)

    I started using Business Catalyst on the recommendation of a friend, and I am in a LIVING HELL right now. Avoid.

    I'm never doing an e-commerce site again.

    I know that feeling all too well. Thinking of steering clear of 'em from now on.
