Frustrated with OsCommerce?
You’re here because you are frustrated with you OsCommerce system, right? Its time to get a solution that has what you need and is supported by people who are dedicated to your ecommerce success. Get NigmaCommerce.
OsCommerce is used by thousands of new online businesses. This is in large part because it is free and fairly simple to install. Once installed it offers both the front-end and back-end interfaces. Sounds like a good solution, right?
Wrong. It is true that many new businesses use OsCommerce when first getting started on the web, however, almost any established and successful business does not use OsCommerce. There are many reasons for this but the most important will be outlined in this article.
Integration is Difficult with OsCommerce
OsCommerce does not make use of common programming principles that allow graphical design changes to be made without updating the programming code. This makes changing the design extremely cumbersome and in some cases impossible. With Nigma, all design elements are separated from the functional code. Designers can manipulate the HTML without ever seeing any programming code. This increases the ease-of-use and eliminates possible errors.
Extendibility is Difficult with OsCommerce
The future of web applications are API’s. These allow the program to easily be manipulated by other systems. There are currently no ecommerce systems other than Nigma that provide a fully supported API. This makes adding functions to OsCommerce very difficult. The developer must really understand the inner-workings of OsCommerce.
Nigma provides a simpler solution: the API. This allows the inner-workings to be hidden behind closed-doors. Basically, the developer simply makes a request to the API and the API returns the response. The developer does not have to know how the response was generated. This makes integration into third party systems such as order-fulfillment systems, eBay, Quickbooks, etc. very easy with Nigma.
If you are still using OsCommerce for your online business its time to upgrade to a system that your business can be successful with. The future of web business is rapidly changing. Give yourself the edge with NigmaCommerce.
