嗯，在实践中，我只使用过 Magento，但在使用电子商务平台之前，我已经回顾了其中的许多平台。
首先是关于 Zen Cart。 2003 年开始时，它只是 osCommerce 的一个分支。从那时起，核心发生了重大变化，从 v1.3 开始，它还具有全新的模板系统。如果您有这样的想法，我建议您使用 ZenCart 而不是 osCommerce。现在将它与 Magento 进行比较，如果您需要更轻量级的商店，我建议选择 Zen Cart。我并不是说你不能用它做更高级的事情，但我相信如果你想根据你的特定需求定制它，你将需要做更多的核心挖掘。这也意味着您可以快速破坏某些东西，或者在最坏的情况下，当您更新核心时，它会破坏系统。
现在到 Magento。它是巨大的。我是认真的。绝对不容易学习，一开始也很难使用，但是设计得很好，当你习惯了之后，你会发现有很多配置选项，如果你真的需要改变一些核心部分，你可以轻松地覆盖模型/块/助手/等，这意味着您保持更新安全。最坏的情况是，你的模块会损坏，但核心不会损坏。
此外，它的布局系统，至少对我来说，似乎功能强大且易于学习，尽管您需要几天的时间来熟悉它。
此外，Magento 提供多个商店和商店视图，因此更加可定制。然而，这种能力是有代价的——复杂性和速度的代价。 Magento 并不是世界上最快的东西，我想说的是，我还没有见过用 PHP 编写的更大且消耗资源的应用程序。如果你没有自己的服务器或VPS，就别想了。它在共享主机上效果不佳。还有另一个故障 - 几乎没有文档。您会找到一些文章，但问题是它们大多已经过时了。社区很活跃并且有帮助，但如果你遇到了无法通过谷歌搜索的问题，那么你实际上就陷入了困境。
最重要的是，如果您有勇气、时间和金钱，投资 Magento 就会得到回报。从各方面来说，它都是一头野兽，我还没有找到用它做不到的事情。否则就不要费心了，选择 Zen Cart 或其他东西。
Well, in practice, I've only used Magento, but before using ecommerce platform, I've reviewed many of them.
First about Zen Cart. When started in 2003, it was only a fork of osCommerce. Since then, core has been significantly changed, and since v1.3 it also features a whole new template system. I'd suggest using ZenCart over osCommerce, if you ever look that way. Now comparing it against Magento, I'd say choose Zen Cart if you need more lightweight store. I'm not saying you cannot do more advanced things with it, but I believe you will need to do much more core-digging if you want to customize it to your specific needs. Which also means you can quickly break something or in the worst case, it'll break the system when you update the core.
Now to Magento. It's huge. And I mean it. Definitely not easy to learn, and in the start difficult to work with, but very well engineered, and when you get used to it, you find there is so much configuration options and if you really need to change some core parts, you can easily override models/blocks/helpers/etc, which means you remain update-safe. Worst case is, your module will break, but not the core.
Also, its layout system, at least to me, seems powerful and easy to learn, although you need a few days to get around with it.
Also, Magento offers multiple stores and store views, and is therefore much more customizable. However, the power comes with a cost - cost of complexity and speed. Magento is not the fastest thing in the world, I'd say quite otherwise - I haven't seen bigger and resource-consuming app writen in PHP. If you do not have your own server or VPS, don't even think about it. It will not work good on shared hosting. There is another glitch - almost no docs. You'll find some articles, but problem is they are mostly outdated. Community is active and helps, but if you got stuck in a problem you cannot google-out, you're practically stuck on your own.
Bottom line, if you've got the nerves, time and money, investing into Magento pays off. It is a beast in every mean and I haven't found a thing that couldn't be done with it. Otherwise don't bother with it and choose Zen Cart or something else.
