osCommerce as a mainstream Ecommerce solution

Looking back at 2000, osCommerce was on the rise. It was THE shopping cart to have, and the community of both merchants and developers was growing at an amazing speed.

Many businesses, organisations, charities would use osCommerce to build their online store.

As time went by, new challengers emerged (like Magento, or Shopify, for example) but osCommerce, instead of being developed and maintained, went in decline. Not the fault of the brilliant code that it was, but rather negligence of the team that created the original software. 

By 2022 most of the websites in what is considered "old osCommerce" - i.e. osCommerce 2.x - require an upgrade, due to the codebase being old and effectively obsolete. The codebase requires older versions of server software, ones that are not supported anymore and are even potentially dangerous to use because of the known vulnerabilities. Such sites in old versions of osCommerce are very difficult to host as hosting providers insist on having modern, safe, and secure server software installed. Effectively, any business using old osCommerce risks seeing their online shop stop working at any time.

Here comes NEW osCommerce, version 4! Besides all the exciting features and solutions, it should be noted that osCommerce v4 uses the most up-to-date and modern server software, and can be installed on any modern hosting account.
