php shopping cart need advice

I am shopping for a shopping cart(no pun intended), few requirements:

  • php written
  • supports several method payments: visa, mastercard, paypal
  • easy integration
  • well tested and stable
  • html could be edited to make it look like a part of web site

what are the big ones out there to use?

From stackoverflow
  • Hi,

    Magento
    Zen Cart
    OSCommerce

    These are the 3 best I've worked with.

    gnomixa : thanks. Which one is the easiest to integrate?
    yoda : Magento might be the simple one.
    gnomixa : thanks. one more question: Zen Cart - does it have url rewrite?(SEO friendly)
    yoda : yes, but via third-party scripting : http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=231
    gnomixa : I read some reviews about Magento; and all of them claim it to be very hard to understand. What's the learning curve like? Is it a day, week or more? Thanks
    yoda : the learning curve depends on you really. If there's a system easy to learn, you can't expect much of it, basically. My choises based on the documentation and capabilities they have.
