Create and manage online stores with osCommerce.

osCommerce is an open source solution for creating and managing an online store, enhanced with add-ons and templates. Running osCommerce requires some knowledge about web servers, php administration and e-commerce website operations. osCommerce can set up graphical images of products in an online store. These images have particular measurements that you can view and change through the administrator screen in osCommerce. In osCommerce, there is a function called "Calculate Image Size" which can calculate and produce images without pre-existing measurements.
