I was able to create a decent template and I liked how ZenCart was easy to customize. However, I want to move on to a shopping cart that provides features such as:

- Integration with all major shipping carriers (at least get rates and possibly print shipping labels right from my site)
- Integration with major payment processing services such as PayPal Website Payments Pro and Authorize.net
- Offer the option for customers to create an account, but not be required to.
- Have a short and simple checkout process.
- Have the ability to add/remove products from existing orders and tweak prices of shipping and total price if needed.
- Offer promtions like gift vouchers/cards and discount coupons.
- Newsletters and emass mail for previous customers.
- Be able to keep the same theme/template of my old site or create a similar one.
- Have different order fullfillment options (drop-ship, stock, etc.)
- When a customer places an order for a drop-shipped product, I want the customers order information emailed straight to the drop shipper.
- Allow customers to track their orders off of my website.
- Have the tracking number sent to the customer when the shipping label is created from my website.
- Have the ability to integrate with sites like eBay, Shopzilla, Shopping, NexTag, etc.
- Offer an affiliate program.
Thanks.
I've got pretty the same list of features for myself
As many in this thread, I'd vote for XCart.
They do lack one thing - dropshipping. But the code is customizable 100%. My friend uses another store from the same producer, and he visits their forum. He says there are quite a lot php coders on those forums, all willing to modify php carts like X-Cart. So, if you don't like customization prices for XCart team, you could just set a bid for 3rd party coders and choose the cheapest offer.

P.S. Personally, I don't feel like dropship customization. I probably will just increase the price of dropshipper's products.
