What to consider when deciding on e-Commerce solution:
Is the solution subject to regular updates so that improvements to the code and functionality are continually being made?
The size of the community using the solution has a clear relationship to the improvements plan as large numbers will demand enhancements and improvements.
Is the solution open-source or licenced. This can have an effect on the set up costs and also possible restrictions as if the solution is licenced there may not be the possibility to get access to the full code library which could impact on your needs if you have very specific development improvements in mind that are specific to your business needs.
Hosting and on-going costs are an important factor to consider.
Ability to link up with or integration\bridging with other software like: shopping carts, address builders, payments gateways, accounts software and newsletter solutions like constant contact and vertical response.
