    I made the rookie mistake of writing my website first (my first time) and then trying to fit a shopping cart into it later on. By then I had already designed my inventory system. I would have to abandon a lot of work if I used a pre-made cart, so I ended up writing my own php-driven shopping cart from scratch.

    If you do that, you're taking a lot of accountability into your own hands. However, I will say it was a very rewarding process. I learned a hell of a lot of cool tricks, and having the power to make my shopping cart do anything I want is pretty damned cool.

    Good luck!

    You can look at ezypal.com. That's what I use that for my online store at http://gamepacks.org. There are several free shopping carts also including osCommerce and zencart.

    Zen Cart is good and was originally based on OSCommerce but they have their own Development team and support forum.

    If you build a Wordpress site, you can install the following Shopping Cart plugin:
