I have a customer with a VERY limited budget who is looking to add e-commerce to their site. With over 100 potential products, the button factory at PayPal is not an options. I have looked around and there are some great full-blown ecommerce solutions out there, but they are beyond this users needs and abilities. What I am looking for is an ASP based, database driven product catalog where an "add to cart" button can be displayed that will post the product sales information to the PayPal system. Make sense? Any ideas?
I don't think there is a free, reliable ASP shopping cart available in the market? How much is the budget? I may help you on this...
you can download a few ASP open source in my blog for FREE. http://asp-open-source.blogspot.com/ <--- click here to download
You can also research the PayPal IPN and write your own code, but it's pretty complex. I'd definitely go with one of those already made unless you're really experienced, even if you have to pay a little. Worth the saved time imho.
I have implemented Dashcommerce (Formerly CSK - Commerce Starter Kit) which can use PayPal or another payment gateway for an ecommerce customer. It is opensource and worth a look if you are focused on ASP. http://www.dashcommerce.com/
