What’s a sure-fire way to improve your osCommerce store and generate more sales?
There are over 3,800 contributions listed on the offical osCommerce site, every single one designed to enhanced your store’s functionality and features. Imagine how much more successful your business could be if you installed only a handful of these.
But you’re busy. You don’t have the time to trawl through and decided which ones are good, and which ones are just plain bad. What you need is a no-nonsense list of must have contributions. Contributions that no savvy store owner would be caught dead without.
So, here are 3 top contributions you really should install if you are serious about selling online and generating more sales.
1. Order Editor
Order Editor allows you to modify anything and everything to do with an order. Need to add an item or change a shipping address? No problem. This contribution makes order management a breeze.
2. Ultimate SEO URLs
Search engines play a crucial part in driving quality traffic to your site. And that means you need to be thinking about search engine optimisation (SEO). The Ultimate SEO URLs contribution by Chemo automatically renames product pages on-the-fly, resulting in meaningful store URLs for both search engines and your visitors. This results in higher search engine ranking and ultimately, more sales for you.
3. User Tracking with Admin
Your store is getting hits, but no-one is buying. User Tracking with Admin lets you analyse your shoppers’ browsing behaviour and diagnose potential problems. Spend some time getting to know how your visitors are thinking, then use this information to reap the rewards.
So there you have it. You now know my three top osCommerce contributions. Download them and get installing!

Well spotted Fiber! Not sure how that one slipped through quality control :). I’ll update the Power Pack to include your fix.
