Shopping cart and payment processing recommendations?

Tremor · 01-22-2007, 11:41 PM

A friend wants me to build him an online store that will sell hunting/camping supplies. It's been a long time since I set anything like that up and I'm very out of the loop. Can you guys possibly point me in the right direction when it comes to shopping cart software and payment processing? I have no clue where to start. This isn't going to be a huge site, I just need something decent and cheap if possible.

Oh and this is the example site he wants his to be similar to...

www.oscommerce.com and www.zencart.com are two good (free) shopping softwares.
In oscommerce you will find modules for nearly all kind of 3.rd party payment processing and allso any other module you will possible need.
It is a bit heavy to work around the template structure to design it the way you want, but with a little playing around with the files you will figure it out pretty quick.

Good luck

Thanks ting tong, oscommerce looks like it will do the job.

OSC rocks, I've used it for years. I had a $10k custom cart built and dumped it for OSC.

For processing, try Google Checkout (free until the end of 2007), 2checkout and PayPal options.

Thanks pam, I was going to go with 2checkout. Never heard of Google Checkout, I'll have a look at it.

I would say osCommerce will be suitable for this

osCommerce is downright shit.
t has poor writted code php code and poor written html behind it. The templates are also horrible. If any i would recommend ZentCart (which is also quite shitty imho but still a lot better then osCommerce). Bare in mind I look at these from a programmers point off view. Not a shop opperater.

The both are packed with nice features I have too say that, and both a have a big use community which contribute in the project as for making extra payment modules, extra features and kinda stuff.
