Shopping for an e-commerce website builder to create your online store?  Check out the bullet points e-commerce website builder comparison chart!
osCommerce vs Yahoo Site Builder vs Volusion vs BigCommerce vs Zen Cart vs Shopify vs Magento vs PrestaShop vs Jimdo vs Ultimate Web Builder
Quick Points:
osCommerce / ZenCart - Not much features, and requires programmer for customization
Yahoo Store Builder / Shopify - Lacking the features, not the price. Pay more than you have to per month, and per transaction.
Volusion / BigCommerce - Big price, without all the big features.
Magento - Very complicated, hard to use and customize - better know coding or hire experienced web developer - very expensive and all e-commerce features not built-in, software has errors/bugs
PrestaShop - Open source software (free), but can end up costing a lot because of add-ons you need to buy, or hiring a web developer to setup your online store
Jimdo - Pay for add-ons add up, limited templates and functionalities
