I am looking for a free opensource shopping cart software that has the capability to have a 1 page checkout process....

That would be going from cart -> 1 page of checkout -> order submitted

The checkout has address, CC info, shipping, etc all on one page.


I currently I use Opencart for a couple of my sites, however with a bunch of modifications I can only get it down to a 2 page checkout.

I looked at nopcommerce, which looks PERFECT! But I need this to run on a Linux server with PHP as I am not very good with ASP.NET

Any suggestions?

Quick practical path (Linux + PHP) to a true single‑page checkout: for fastest, lowest‑maintenance setup use WordPress + WooCommerce and add a free “one‑page” / direct‑checkout plugin — that gives cart → single checkout page → submit with minimal custom code and lots of plugin choices. This is the easiest route if you want a working one‑page flow quickly and cheaply. (woocommerce.com)

If you want to keep what you already run: OpenCart can be made single‑page via marketplace modules (there are free/freemium and paid options). Pick a well‑reviewed one, install on a staging site, and test for theme/JS conflicts and mobile layout before you push live — many of those modules use AJAX to show shipping/payment/address and confirm in one click. Backup before you install. (knowband.com)

As several replies (#2, #4) note, Magento Open Source also supports a one‑page checkout out of the box and is very flexible, but it’s heavier to host and maintain — better for larger catalogs or multi‑store needs. If you consider Magento, budget for stronger hosting, proper caching and a staging environment for extension work. (experienceleague.adobe.com)

Security and compliance: avoid rolling your own card‑capture unless you know PCI obligations. Using a hosted/tokenized gateway (hosted payment page or a provider’s prebuilt Checkout) drastically reduces PCI scope; the PCI Council describes hosted/iframe‑based outsourcing eligibility, and providers like Stripe offer hosted Checkout that simplifies PCI validation. Prioritize HTTPS, test in gateway sandbox, and verify mobile UX and JS errors (these are the usual causes of one‑page checkout breakage). (pcisecuritystandards.org)

Notes tied to thread: — nopCommerce is ASP.NET so the PHP options above match your constraint; / raised Magento’s strengths; and pointed toward PHP carts — use the above checklist (choose platform → pick hosted gateway → staging tests → enable one‑page plugin/extension → full mobile & payment testing) to get to a reliable single‑page checkout.

I think Magento Commerce would be good for you, It's free open source and has many extensions are available to extend eCommerce possibilities

HI,
Choose magento is really excellent..

Magento commerce is easy to install with additional layouts and magento plugin. Unlike other open source shopping carts magento does not require e-store owners to have prior programming experience. It is undoubtedly simplistic and powerful
Magento offers an unparalleled option of availing more than fifty payment gateways for integration.

Online store owners will be able to manage manifold online stores from a single administrative panel and product catalogue. This feature proffers maximum flexibility as you will be able to manage many e stores saving you precious time and resources.

I agree with Magentoc. It's a good choice. Features include:- * Marketing Promotions and Tools * Analytics and Reporting * Search Engine Optimization * Site Management * Catalog Management * Catalog Browsing * Product Browsing * Mobile Commerce

Why not do a custom coded shopping cart.

I think you can make one on Wordpress, Magento - but it's brain racking, I'm not sure..maybe you will be able to use OScommerce and IzzoNet has a landing page creator feature you can use

have you tried wordpress with shopperpress theme? shopperpress offers 1page checkout page, which all the customer info are collected then forwarded/proceeds to gateway
here is a website using the combo

I am somehow in the early stages of an e-commerce website of my own and I pretty much incline towards Open Cart, for it's easy to set up and doesn't require too many resources. Zen Cart it's something on my list too, currently testing.
