Development
What is CRE Loaded Open Source e-Commerce?
CRE Loaded is the oldest existing osCommerce open source e-commerce branch project. It began in 2002 with Ian Wilson's "Loaded" project. Adding the most popular community contributed modifications and feature expansions to osCommerce, "The Loaded" made life easier and business more profitable for thousands of online stores. Today, it still does.
Open Source eCommerce software is the core of our business! Why? Because no other approach offers as great a potential for flexibility and security in eCommerce operations as Open Source eCommerce software. It's that simple. StrikeHawk eCommerce provides development leadership. We design and produce the Open Source Eos Online Merchant - an osCommerce fork based on the CRE Loaded shopping cart. This venue allows us to exercise our own development philosophy of using merciless re-factoring to achieve the highest standards of quality and performance. This is not your grandmother's osCommerce!
