Saw this link for the first time only yesterday
so I have no personal experience with the software ....
Several years ago I set up two instances of osCommerce for some
friends of mine. One was for an online hunting supplies store, and
the other for a store selling...stuff like keychain flashlights, etc.
I didn't love the interface, or the default templates, or the coding
style when I had to modify it, but the system did work. Processing
orders and shipping did work. They've since closed the stores due to
being too busy with other jobs.
I honestly don't know how it measures up as far as security goes, but
it's been several years, so there should be some data for you to look
at and make a decision on.
We're using osC on several servers at work with good success. Using both
credit cards and paypal, in different instances.
It seems to have pretty good support and is very full-featured. It is a
little difficult to edit the template though, as the previous poster
mentioned.
