Looking for a self-harming e-commerce platform

[JenrasGomes]

Hi everyone, I've been installing various carts and plugins and having a lot of trouble with it.

I want to self-host because I don't want to be beholden to a third party, I don't want to have to pay an ongoing percentage of sales either, as the total cost will end up huge.

I'm mindful of the reputation of WooCommerce and PrestaShop for being awful spaghetti messes, and the useful plugins aren't cheap anyway.

I've installed AbanteCart, Thirty Bees, Shopware, OpenCart, ZenCart, I've lost count. I'm running into some problems out of the box so I thought asking others with better experience would be wise.

I'd be very happy for anyone's input. Thank you.

In my opinion AbanteCart is very complete solution.
I has alot of features inclueded.

IF you use an  extension is not as expensive as prestashop u other.

Its really good product and you can work with it very well
