If you do not have technical expertise, you got to rely on technically proficient professionals, which I believe are pricey. Furthermore, Payment Gateway is an area of big concern when it comes to open source.  You have to hire experts who can install payment gateway for you.  Imagine your online store gets huge traffic, scaling/monitoring your hosting becomes another big issues. Above all, you got to buy expensive SSL certific ates to secure your online store so that your customer shops from your online store with confidence.Let me tell you, all of these comes at a cost and when you sum total the cost + the hassles that you have go through with open source, its much more than you can imagine. My take on this is Open source is definitely not a cup of tea for small businesses who often have little budget to start.The good news, now you can get all the sophistication of professional e-commerce minus the hassles of open source with a new bread of so called ‘Hosted shopping carts’. Imagine, starting an online store in literally few minutes! All you need is signup online, select pre-designed theme, and select the payment gateway for your choice. Yes, you heard that right. You can now start your e-commerce store in just few minutes without worrying about Hosting, Payment Gateway, Design or any other Technical Part.
