Amsterdam-based online payment services provider ChronoPay, B.V. announced its official corporate sponsorship of osCommerce, an open source online e-commerce software company.

osCommerce offers free "out-of-the-box" creation of online stores, licensed under the GNU General Public License.

Founded in March 2000, osCommerce has attracted over 10,000 online retailers using the company's shopping cart software. OsCommerce says its success has been accelerated by a large, active webmaster community, in which members share ideas and assist each other in development.

"ChronoPay strongly supports the osCommerce project," said Ido Schiferli, ChronoPay's European Marketing Manager.

"The osCommerce shopping cart combines a rich feature set and powerful online shopping cart functionality, which will allow our store owners to setup, run, and maintain their online stores with minimal effort and with no software costs, license fees, or limitations involved.

"When combined with the ChronoPay payment module for osCommerce, which is easy to integrate, our merchants are able to rapidly and economically launch their online shops."

osCommerce's software uses PHP web scripting language and MySQL database server, which allows it to run on 4.1+ enabled web servers running on Linux, Solaris, BSD, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.
