Lightweight online shop

[Absorbator]

I'm looking for a eCommerce software that can be customized easily. So far I've tried OpenCart but I find it unnecessarily complex and very clumsy in terms of customization. I can't even get rid of the demo products !!! I need an application or a library that simply does its server-side job and allows me to easily customize it with scripts (I have a long experience with PHP, so that's not a problem). Any recommendations are appreciated

If you want to delete the demo items from opencart....

 

Go into something like phpmyadmin.

 

prefix_ being whatever you selected upon install

 

Only do this a fresh install or would delete something may not want to.

 

Run this sql command.

DELETE FROM prefix_address;
DELETE FROM prefix_category;
DELETE FROM prefix_category_description;
DELETE FROM prefix_category_to_store;
DELETE FROM prefix_coupon;
DELETE FROM prefix_customer;
DELETE FROM prefix_download;
DELETE FROM prefix_download_description;
DELETE FROM prefix_manufacturer;
DELETE FROM prefix_manufacturer_to_store;
DELETE FROM prefix_product;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_description;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_discount;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_featured;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_image;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_option;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_option_description;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_option_value;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_option_value_description;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_related;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_special;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_to_download;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_to_store;
DELETE FROM prefix_review;
DELETE FROM prefix_store;
DELETE FROM prefix_store_description;
DELETE FROM prefix_product_tags;
DELETE FROM prefix_order;

Unless you are willing to make your own commerce site I have only ever seen 3 decent ones out there.

opencart, prestashop and magneto

Each have their quirks.

Thanks for the answer. I played a little with the model/view scripts (or controllers) and I found that it is not so hard to customize opencart.
