Hello all, I have a few specifics I am looking for in a signup/cart system for my web hosting business. I want to get input from users of various cart systems on whether a particular product covers all of my requirements. Here they are in no particular order:

1) Enom integration for reg/transfer during signup
2) Multiple products per purchase (ex. hosting plan + extra email + some other plan)
3) Authorize.net integration
4) The ability to place the signup form "inside" my current site skin
5) Need to get return values back from CC processor for further configuration of new account
6) Need to be able to trigger an automated setup script (shell, php, etc) I wrote that creates the new customers site as soon as payment is made.
7) Discounts/Specials
8) Affiliate tie-in with iDevAffiliate or the like

I have been looking at drams and whoiscart. Not sure if either one does all of the above. Anyone know?

Pretty much the same

If you dont mind, I think your question will have more ppl responding to it , if you post it to Reseller forum or Running a Web Hosting Business. Perhaps you can ask the mod to move you there, because WHT does not allow multi post.

I have just gotten my Whoiscart , few days back. Now doing some integration. So maybe I can tell you how it is when it is done. =)

Well - h-sphere handles most of what you want right out of the box - you would need "some" tweaking to run the signup script in your site and depending on what sort of "site" you wanted to create automatically - this could be easy or difficult - for example, if you used the inherent site studio feature - it would be much easier then if you were using some custom script..

Funny you mention H-Sphere. That was my original thought too, but after going through 2 months of nightmares with 2 different h-sphere hosts (and 3 migrations), there is absolutely now way I will ever do that again. Too much lack of control and dependency on the hosting admins keeping their ship afloat. There is also a serious lack of flexibility in control panels which I was not prepared for.

I have decided to roll-my-own. I have the skills, just not the time. But I did just finish my shopping cart addition to a my new website. Only took a couple of days for that so the rest should be cake (Authorize.net and Enom api's).

I need a sign up script also.. :S rrrreeally bad.. I was gona customize it to fit the theme of my site ;D is h-sphere really thaat bad? =\

I would not say that h-sphere is bad, just that it is more geared for a typical web host, not someone like me who has custom hosting environments that require installation of software and databases upon signup.

If I were just doing the normal hosting stuff, h-sphere would be great.
