Hello @faboulaws, that is true that Dupral Commerce data are quite empty for the moment, if you know this software, please do not hesitate to update this collaborative comparison table (crowdsourced like wikipedia). When there is not the feature available by default, but possible with a plugin, you can use the orange checkbox like done for other solutions of this comparison.. Thanks.

The information for Drupal Commerce is incomplete. Drupal Commerce does not come by default with all features compared to the other commerce packages.However, it has a lot of additional module to improve it functionality.Also since it is base on Drupal there are a lot of other tool that it has available that the other commerce packages might not have.For example Drupal already offer FAQ,Blogs,Forums different ways to display products,the option to have only one page for specific product category without a sweat .Drupal offers full control on menu on the site from admin interface without the need of a developer.There a lot more to Drupal that I have to say....

Stay away from Magento! Its a nightmare! Its full of bugs and you must update it every week when a new patch comes out. Also when you update (witch isn't an easy task) some features may break. Performance is very poor (unless you have few dedicated servers just for your site). I think CS cart is the best solution. There is a free version that works very good for small and mid businesses. If you need more you can get the pro version (295$) and offers tons of more features from the other "stock" shopping carts. PrestaShop and OpenCart may look "free" but their plugins are very expensive. So better pay for a CScart license and get all of the features at once.
