Explanation of shopping carts and webshops

Question

I posted a question here concerning creating a shopping cart. It seems maybe I am misusing the phrase "shopping cart" or maybe the people that answered didn't understand the post well.

I understand that open source software like "Magento, OpenCart, Prestashop etc.." are called shopping carts.

I also understand that paid hosting services like "Shopify, BigCommerce, 3dCart etc.." are also called shopping carts. Am I wrong?

Both the open source and the paid hosting services gives you the admin panel that you use to create your own shopping site.

I also understand that "Yii, CakePHP, Symphony, Zend etc.." are frameworks for creating whatever you want.

Is there a difference between "shopping carts" and "web shops". For me I see them as the same.

Answer 1

A shopping cart is a module of a web shop used for holding items waiting to be ordered in a place where the user can keep track of them.

A web shop is Amazon, ebuyer, or some other shopping site.

Magento is actually classed as eCommerce software which is umbrella term for what you're looking at.
