"Best" is a bit subjective :)
What's your use case? Preferred language/stack?
Are you selling physical or digital products? Anticipated order volume? Need to integrate with 3rd party systems for inventory management, shipping, marketing, accounting, etc.?
It seems there are more than you can shake a stick at (listing these off the top of my head in no particular order, on my phone):
* Woocommerce (plugin for WordPress - PHP) [1]
* Magento (PHP) [2]
* Spree Commerce (Ruby on Rails) [3]
* Saleor (Django/Python) [4]
* Oscar (Django/Python) [5]
