osCommerce is an open source e-commerce application based on PHP & MySQL. The project was started in 2000 by Harald Ponce de Leon and is one of the most popular e-commerce applications with an estimated usage rate of almost 13,000 registered live stores and an active community with almost 250,000 members. Given the wide spread usage and large developer community, there is a large and diverse range of add-ons available (6000+) making the software easy to extend.

osCommerce is still officially in "development stage", although the current 2.3.4 version is stable. The planned Milestone 3.0 release is a major re-write of the code base. An early release candidate of 3.0 has been available for download since March 2007.

On March 15th 2009 osCommerce Online Merchant v3.0 Alpha 5 was released. With this release the programmers concentrated on core features in hopes of a much faster release schedule. Key features of this release included a new object-oriented framework, new templating system, additional search engine optimization features and updated payment modules among many others.

Announced at the same time was the "Social Coding on Github" initiative which was introduced to attract additional developers to the project in hopes of speeding up the release cycle.

The most popular osCommerce versions today are Phoenix edition and Solomono edition.
