I'm working on a new e-commerce site that will handle transactions from PayPal. I tried to use the PayPal osCommerce module, but it ended up crashing my interface, so I had to reinstall. I did that twice, so I'm not sure that the PayPal module is going to work. Has anyone else had a similar experience with this module? Is there another plug-in that I can use for PayPal transactions besides this one?

Why you are still using OsCommerce/ It is way old. Developer community started moving away from it. You could consider Magento instead.

I was considering Magneto, but I've found from more than a few people that it is very clunky on its back and, especially with its shopping cart. I've just about killed the resources on my server now. I don't want to push it over the edge right now.

I may consider using it in the future, however. I expect to build traffic to the site to at least 4000 and 5000 visitors a day, so I'm really looking for something that will hold up in the initial stages of development.

If you haven't already, check out Joomla! I use it all of the time and I love it! There are so many resources available including templates and plugins to make sure that you can get the most out of your ecommerce websites. At work, we have about 5 ecommerce websites, all performing well while taking PayPal, SagePay and telephone orders.

I think Joomla is great for SEO too as plugins are available to allow you to change any aspect of your webpages.
