Good afternoon from Singapore, There are far too many choices when it comes to open source ecommerce solutions. Are there any credible rankings of open source ecommerce platforms? Which open source ecommerce solution do you think is the best and tell me why. Thank you.

This is a good thing, isn't it?
(BTW: I prefer to spell "open source" as "free software". Yes, I do
have an agenda).

I guess "ecommerce platform" isn't a one-dimensional space, so you
won't be able to sort it along "one and only one" quailty criterion.

You'll first have to define (perhaps incompletely) your criteria
yourself, look at what is there, learn, adjust your criteria.

Hopefully, the process converges, somehow.

Since you are asking on Debian, I just queried "apt search ecommerce":
You get a couple of hits, all related to Business::OnlinePayment, which
is an online payment interface written in Perl. Hardly a complete survey.

Cheers

I just tried

The hits there may give ideas on refining your search.

Look at ledgersmb:

Description-en: financial accounting and ERP program
 LedgerSMB is a full featured double-entry financial accounting and Enterprise
 Resource Planning system accessed via a web browser (Perl/JS with a PostgreSQL
 backend) which offers "Accounts Receivable", "Accounts Payable" and "General
 Ledger" tracking as well as inventory control and fixed assets handling. The
 LedgerSMB client can be a web browser or a programmed API call. The goal of
 the LedgerSMB project is to bring high quality ERP and accounting capabilities
 to Small and Midsize Businesses.
 .
 The application now defaults to being made available locally on port 5762 and
 being run directly by Starman instead of by Apache. If other access is needed,
 a Reverse Proxy can be configured locally using Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, or
 Varnish.
 .
 For more information, please see /usr/share/doc/ledgersmb/README.Debian.

It is an accounting application, aka ledger (surprise!)

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LedgerSMB

I think the "usual" meaning of e-commerce (or ecommerce, as the OP
put it) is different from that.

Righto.

Now, listen up, Tom, here's what we got so far:

A guy from Singapore asks what's the best open source e-commerce platform
around.

You start by telling him not to call it open source. Hasler suggests
accounting software. I wouldn't be surprised if Bernstein piped up
soon to inform us the whole deal smells suspiciously like Eichmann's
testimony at Nuremberg. 

Nothing gets past you guys.

A very daring interpretation of my e-mail (and there were other
bits in there, mind you).

Absolutely nothing, Sir!
