Open Source ASP.Net Shopping Cart

[GeoMal]

Any recommendations by the web devs on here? So far looking at aspxcommerce, smartstore.net, nopCommerce, Katris. Currently favouring nopCommerce, but that is purely based upon companies currently using it, so some feedback from developers would be much appreciated. The only other requirement is Stripe integration.

Why ASP.Net? If you go with PHP there's a massive selection, including OpenCart and Prestashop.

If you want to be exotic and go with RoR you could look at https://spreecommerce.com/

We consider Magento as the most advanced eCommerce platform (PHP).

Among ASP.NET based platforms, nopCommerce would be the closest to Magento in terms of features.

Stripe integration with nopCommerce should be easy.

Not my choice, but it needs to integrate with existing custom application using ASP.NET and Stripe.

Thanks, any idea if nopCommerce is as sensitive as Magento in terms of server set up and resulting speed?

Just because the existing application uses ASP.NET it doesn't mean every other system that connects to it has to be ASP.NET.

That is true, but I would rather the whole application was in the same environment.

Well you can happily run PHP on a Windows server. The thing is, if you're looking for an open source platform, you're going to find a lot more choice with an open source language like PHP. You may find an open source ecommerce platform for .NET but there's likely to be far less choice and a much smaller community. Of course if it doesn't need to be open source then I suspect there will be plenty of paid options available. Is open source a requirement?

I'm aware of that, and do already.

Is open source a requirement?

Yes.

Whilst I appreciate you taking the time to post, do you actually have any experience of ASP.NET shopping carts?

Not a massive amount, however, I think this answers your question:

That would answer my question if my question were "What's the ratio of shopping carts on Sourceforge that are written in PHP?". That is not my question though.

Point taken.

I wasn't sure initially how committed you were to the .NET route, but it seems you've made up your mind.

That being the case, have you considered something that works with Umbraco?

http://uwebshop.com/

The sensitivity is related to a specific store configuration. In general, nopCommerce would have a less demanding server setup.

Great, thanks.

We happily use Kartris for some e-commerce applications.

It's open source, written in ASP.NET (VB) and is now free Oh, and they are a British company.

However, like any software it can take a long while to get used to customising it.
