    Its has many Database tables compared with other carts db structure. Its very slow. To write a magento module and access db, you need to use PHP ORM. Direct sql queries and magento templates are even more complicated. I dont understand why Clients prefer magento? There are alternatives like Prestashop etc.

      That doesn't look like a question, unless you count the "why clients prefer magento" line, which isn't really something we can answer. Rants about "why insert technology here sucks" belong in the Lounge. :)

        Its not a Rant. I have explained how magento works. If you have worked on magento, you will understand what i am saying is true.

          It's still not a question, though.

            Magento and other shopping carts are there to make developing ecommerce applications easier and reduce development time. I have recently developed an ecommerce website from scratch and I can tell you its not easy. Not because the programming is hard but there is a lot of consideration and planning involved not to mention hours of testing.

              What would you propose as the best alternative? I am currently using Shopify and am wondering what the advantages of a more custom solution would be. Pashmina Perfection
