WebshopSystem

WebshopSystem is a web‑based e‑commerce platform developed to enable small and medium businesses to create, manage, and operate online stores without requiring extensive technical expertise. The software offers a modular architecture, allowing users to add or remove features through plugins, and is built on a PHP back‑end with a modular front‑end using standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Deployment can be on shared hosting, virtual private servers, or cloud services, and the system supports multiple database back‑ends including MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL.

Key functionalities include product catalog management, shopping cart integration, secure payment gateway connections, and order processing. The platform also provides tools for inventory tracking, customer relationship management, and basic marketing automation such as email newsletters and discount codes. Administrators can customize the look and feel of storefronts through a theme editor and can import product data via CSV files or APIs. Built‑in tax calculation adapts to regional rules, and the system is designed for multilingual use, supporting language file overrides and character‑set conversions.

WebshopSystem’s community maintains a public repository on GitHub, where contributors submit patches, new modules, and theme updates. Documentation is available in both online form and as downloadable PDFs, and a dedicated forum facilitates user discussion and support. Version releases follow a semi‑annual release cycle, with major feature updates and minor security patches. The platform’s open‑source license allows free use for non‑commercial purposes, while commercial licensing options provide additional support, guarantee updates, and access to enterprise‑grade modules. Overall, WebshopSystem aims to provide a cost‑effective and adaptable foundation for merchants looking to launch or expand an online storefront.
