A Quick Overview of Joomla<\/h2>\n

Joomla is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) that businesses and individuals can use to build, publish, and manage websites.<\/p>\n

Unlike hosted eCommerce platforms, Joomla gives users more direct control over their website’s hosting, content, extensions, and customization. Its extensible architecture also allows users to add new capabilities through thousands of extensions available in the Joomla Extensions Directory, which covers everything from eCommerce and directories to marketing and reporting.<\/p>\n

Hence, for businesses using Joomla for eCommerce, installing shopping cart extensions is highly recommended, as they offer the core functionality needed to turn your content-focused website into an online store. Below, we’ll compare 10 Joomla shopping cart extensions, their key features, pricing, and the types of businesses they are best suited for.<\/p>\n
