I am looking to build an e-commerce store that can handle many items (in the thousands) and many categories. I'm looking into Magento and X-cart but don't know which one will be easier to customize the template and the payment processing part.  I'd prefer a solution that doesn't use smarty template bc I dont have experience with that. (I'm not sure if Magento/X-cart do).

 

For the payment processing, I need to be able to disable the built in payment process and write my own code so that I can post the orders to different suppliers depending on the items purchased by the user.

 

Thanks in advance for any of your input!

You can do it in Magento, but customization in Magento can cost you time and headaches. But the modular and MVC approach in Magento works absolutely perfect. 

 

Magento does not use smarty. checkout some of the templates before you go on with Magento. The only thing to note is that more and more people are migrating to Magento. So the time is now to decide or in later stage migration will cost you too much.
