They need to be scalable and have a clean back-end so when its time for me to change the e-commerce script or modify the code I can do so easily. \n\nSome things I was looking for: \n- Shipping calculators are necessary (i.e. FedEx, USPS, UPS, CanadaPost) with intuitive options for specifying when shipping costs can vary\n- Promotion/Coupon code system\n- Related products\n- Reseller support\n- Social login (Google, Facebook, Twitter)\n- Good analytics\n- Easy to skin for branding and customization\n- Multiple dashboard views (pending orders, administration, product catalog management, etc)\n\nSuggestions and discussion about favorites are welcome. The programming languages I am very familiar with are PHP and MySQL or ASP and MSSQL, but currently the server I have ready to go would support PHP, MySQL out of the box. Also your feedback as to maybe choosing a system with a programming language/database that supports scaling in the future would help as well.", "group_id": 250, "id": 206257}, {"user_id": 5041, "stars": [], "topic_id": 8980, "date_created": 1298627859.108845, "message": "You might want to try Magento or Ubercart in Drupal", "group_id": 250, "id": 206899}, {"user_id": 2458, "stars": [], "topic_id": 8980, "date_created": 1298637148.8103681, "message": "+1 for Magento.
