Hello guys, I need a simple shopping cart software, preferably free. I'd like it to have a similiar feature set to Mal's E commerce free version. I need it to be hosted on my own server, and preferably coded in PHP. OScommerce is too complicated for what I'm looking for. I just want it to capture and save the customer details, including payment info. Hopefully, I could use simple url links or buttons for customers to add products to the cart with. Any suggestions?
Get Oscommerce and just use the features that you need. I think it is the best ecommerce script you can find. Now, if you just need a script to be integrated in your already existing website, I would suggest that you code itself yourself or hire a freelance programmer. It isn't a hard job.
Are there any shopping carts where you can just copy and paste codes into your html codes? Im asking becuase I really need a shopping cart but dont have the time to learn how to create one. I just need something very simpel. Thanks
Im selling many products...please see www autodrawings net that's the site I want a shopping cart for.
It sounds like we're looking for the same thing: A cart that you can just paste a buy now link onto your product page and go. I haven't found a free cart yet that has that...they are all the kind where you have to create the products and then the software genereates your site, too....Not what I want.
Yeah i think we are looking for the same thing. I found this site which sounded perfect for me but becuase of my lack of website skills I never got it to work. Still you should check it out: http://www.nopdesign.com/freecart/
I took a look at the demo. That does look interesting. I wonder how hard it would be to use PayPal as the gateway? If I find a few spare hours I might see if I can set that up some where.
If you just want to paste a buy now link next to your products why not just use Paypal's shopping cart?
Well i want my customers to be able to first select the products they want, if they want lets say three products i need some kind of shopping cart for them to put it in.
Have you checked out the PayPal cart? I used one somewhere the other day that allowed mutiple items to be added before checking out. I don't think it is an option unless use are business/premier member. I think I will log in and look at it right now. Okay I did. Click on the merchant services tab and about halfway down the page on the right hand side there is a link to the shopping cart information. It would be a PITA to set up because you have to create a button for each item and use the HTML they give you on your pages. The is a visual presentation you can view. To read the entire guide just go to PayPal. It would be secure once you set it up. Not to bad unless your items change a lot.
The Paypal shopping cart supports multiple products. It doesn't meet my needs, though, as I just want to capture credit card numbers, not do Paypal. -Adam
