About O3-Shop
Our Mission
The O3-Shop project was initiated 2022 when OXID eSales published their plans for changing the license terms for the OXID eShop Community Edition (CE). Eric Jankowsky (founder of OXID eSales) and Mario Zanier (Founder of xt:Commerce) formed a team of ecommerce professionals and former partner agencies in order to support the existing merchant base and started the O3-Shop project as a fork of the last GPLv3 based Community Edition (v 6.4.3). The aim of this project is to maintain and consequently improve the O3 Shop as a flexible & robust B2B/B2C open source ecommerce platform for the DACH market with an open minded approach and involvement of the strong community and partner network.
Industry Experts
Our team consists of ecommerce industry experts with the experience of maintaining and developing ecommerce platforms for 200.000+ merchants over the last 20 Years.
Fully transparent
O3-Shop is 100% open source and availability on github.
Sharing is Caring
Be part of the O3 Community. Ask. Help. Discuss. Commit. - You are welcome!
Great opportunity for developers and agencies
Our goal is to run O3-Shop as a community project and provide agencies and developers with a stable and powerful development platform.
We are open for any help with development and suggestions for the roadmap to create the best on premise open source solution in DACH.
We integrate improvements directly from the community, so if you have any bugs to fix or improvements to make – submit a PR. After a review, your PR will be used to improve O3-Shop in a new version.
O3-Shop has the chance to become a leading open source platform again, developed and supported solely by the community, taking care of the community’s and agencie’s needs. That is one of the ideas of starting this project and sharing it with the world.
The team behind O3-Shop has a wealth of experience in developing ecommerce software for the German market. With the initial founder of OXID eSales and the founder of xt:Commerce on the team, together we have brought over 200,000 merchants online in the last 20 years. We are now putting all this experience into the development of O3 Shop.
Let’s make German open source ecommerce great again!
For Merchants
The goal of O3-Shop is to cover all the current requirements of a merchant in an open source solution and to provide a stable and high-performance B2C & B2B platform without hidden costs or compulsory fees.
O3-Shop is further developed by the community and accompanied by a consortium of partners and ecommerce experts to ensure code quality and stability.
Our first release candidate (v 1.0.0) allows a relatively easy transition from 6.4.3 (CE) to O3-Shop v1.0.0.
