History

Zen Cart is a software fork that branched from osCommerce in 2003. Beyond some aesthetic changes, the major differences between the two systems come from Zen Cart's architectural changes and additional included features in the core. The release of the 1.3.x series further differentiated Zen Cart by moving the template system from its historic tables-based layout approach to one that is largely CSS-based.
