    Do you plan to sell a single e-book or multiple e-books?

    For a few items i would suggest to use Oscommerce. Its very simple and you can add a simple nice theme alone.

    Yes, e-junkie should work well for ebooks and other file-based goods.

    I'd advise you to get wordpress with specific plugins, it will do the job.

    OK, I got all the carts mentioned here through my hosting company, Web Hosting With $1 (WHW1.com), but I am getting information overload. Help. I can even have them running at the same time and play with each, but still requires some customization for my specific use, and so I really need to pick one and go with it.
    Zencart, prestashop, oscommerce...and all the rest mentioned here...... AH! too much info.

    1. Which one of the carts at WHW1 should I really choose for just about a dozen digital downloadable items to sell with paypal payments (CCs handled through paypal.com[PP])?
    It is great that I am getting everything at WHW1, but I am seeing a big list to choose from and time is limited. I cannot do a learning cure on each one. It takes too much time to investigate each one too.

    2. On top of that someone here suggested making use of wordpress... ok, sure I got that too through WHW1.com, but the plugins you say to use are not free, right?

    At the moment I am thinking of doing the site with either Sitebuilder (SB), or Wordpress (WP) or Concrete5 (C5), and then adding one of these carts to complement my design.
    3. However, am I getting the correct impression with Prestashop that it can handle my whole site creation with the shopping cart included?
    4. If so, then can I just use it alone without using something like WP, C5, or SB?
    5. Am I going to run in to cost after I start using prestashop or zencart? To what extent are they free?
    6. Does either one have a limit on how many items I can sell? Just considering future growth.
    7. Which is truly easier to make use of with PP and selling of digital items? Such as ebooks, videos, and other digital downloadable items.

    I am anxious to point the traffic from my current domain registrar to my hosting at WHW1, and I know how to handle the design fine using any of the above free site building softwares (meaning WP, C5, SB), but this information overload with the carts is holding me back. The first 3 I mentioned, ZenCart, PrestaShop, OsCommerce all look good, but I want to start with one and go with it, and not change later.

    Your responses will be appreciated.

    I would like to recommend AJ Shopping cart script, which is easy to customize as to make your ebook selling site. It offers you advanced and needy features to book store. Try with it.

    Joelchrist, I looked at it, and no thanks. The AJ Shopping cart script is $350 to $999 to buy, and the ones others and I already mentioned here on this DP thread are FREE, and as far as I can tell AJ Shopping cart script does not do anything more than the carts mentioned here; at least nothing more that I need. Plus, with the other ones, I don't need to deal with installing it. With WHW1 hosting service, I can have any of the other shopping carts installed for free with a single click. Plus, I don't have time to look into another shopping cart.

    I have decided to narrow it down to those 3 I mentioned on my earlier post, and comments on those would be helpful to narrow down. Answers to any of my questions on my earlier post would be appreciated.

    Woo Commerce for WP. It's free and allows the sales of digital products.

    If you're still looking for this, Woocommerce for the Wordpress platform is great and FREE.
