<h2>Open Source vs Commercial ecommerce platforms?</h2>
<p>There are dozens of open-source shopping cart programs available, but none come close to the options, features, and stability available with Zen Cart&reg;.</p>
<p>
And as for the commercial programs, watch as the fees ramp up to match your sales! At some point you'll jump ship, so why not start with an unrestricted solution?</p>



<h2>What do I need to use Zen Cart&reg;?</h2>
<p>The lowest level hosting solution that offers PHP, Apache, and a MySQL database is usually sufficient to get started. Maybe your hosting even includes a Zen Cart&reg; one-click auto-install for you to try (which is ok for a tryout but never to develop).</p>

See the <a href="https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/first_steps/server_requirements/">Server Requirements for Zen Cart&reg;</a> for more technical details.

<p>You can also install it on your local computer for offline development (requires a web server installed on your computer).
