Zen Cart

Zen Cart® was the first Open Source e-Commerce web application to be fully PA-DSS Certified. Zen Cart v2.2.2 is the latest major update to the project. It contains bugfixes and updates for PHP8 applied on top of the PA-DSS Certified version v1.5.4. Zen Cart is free and open source software, with free community-driven support available 24/7 on the Zen Cart® Support Site forums at zen-cart.com/forum YOU ARE CURRENTLY VIEWING CODE FOR THE UNRELEASED IN-DEVELOPMENT "NEXT VERSION", which will be tagged as 3.0 If some of the terms used in these brief instructions are things you don't understand, there is a much more detailed set of instructions in the /docs/Implementation-Guide PDF. The Implementation Guide document is provided to give detailed instructions on how to install and secure your site in accordance with PCI Compliance requirements. Whether your site "needs" PCI Compliance or not is up to you to decide, but you should still follow the documented principles to maximize your site's resilience against troublesome access attempted by any undesired/unauthorized visitors. Developers wishing to contribute to the Zen Cart® core code may fork the zencart/zencart repository on github and issue Pull Requests from their own feature branches. Please see CONTRIBUTING. Visit docs.zen-cart.com/dev/ for guidance on issues relevant to developers. This documentation site is very new, but content will be added over time. Developers wishing to contribute documentation should fork zencart/documentation and contribute PRs. Please see CONTRIBUTING to documentation. Sponsorship through GitHub is a simple and convenient way to say "thank you" to Zen Cart's maintainers and contributors, and to help fund its ongoing development. Just click the "Sponsor" button on the Zen Cart page on GitHub. If your company uses Zen Cart, note that sponsorship and donations to the project are a valid regular business expense.
