eCommerce Software / Systems
There is a huge range of options available for eCommerce, but there is no “best” solution. What is right for one business will not suit another. If you are looking for a little help and guidance, then SitePoint has two relevant articles, one on hosted solutions, and one on shopping carts.
The following lists are not exhaustive, but should give you a good start in looking for the right solution to meet your own criteria.
