Ok you have ones like OScommerce and others that are based around a template. BUT, what if you don't want one that is built around a template? What choices do you have? Not many.

What I want is something that allows you to basically make an "add to cart" button, much like what paypal does. So instead of having to worry about coding pages, you can simply have this "add to cart" button that is html coded, place it on your site, then it adds it to the shopping cart that is behind the scenes. Get what i'm saying?

Anything like this exist? I just want it so it sends me their CC info securly. Hate having to mess with ASP coding and crap.

Thx!

Try Mals-e commerce

http://www.mals-e.com/

Thanks! Seems it has a lot of add on features from 3rd parties. Anyone know anything about this?

$120 isnt bad for the nice version...Hmm...

From what I can see, mals-e remotely hosts the shopping cart pages. So when your visitors add an item to the cart, they are going off site. I prefer a shopping cart script that resides on my server.

I use www.dansie.net shopping cart on several of my sites. $150. Very easy to configure, highly customizable, lots of features.

You have any examples of this cart on ur pages?

I made several sites using simple html code with ‘buy now’ button form point to JavaScript file
It is completely JavaScript shopping cart and it is FREE

Do the ones listed above just send me the CC number? Want to process it manually. thx!

Z400, Mals-e.com is actually free and it does exactly what you need it to.

The "premium" version is the exact same as the free version, it is no different in appearance or functionality except that you can do real-time credit card transactions with the premium Mal's cart. You can do Paypal payments with the free version.

(OK there are a couple other minor bonuses with the premium version, but none are essential for conducting business.)

I have been running free Mal's on my gift shop's site for 4 years now. Love, love, love Mal's. We do tens of thousands of dollars on our site annually and during 4th quarter, Mal's successfully runs dozens of orders per day without errors/problems. Truly impressive, and obviously the service has mega staying power. :)

Be careful if you are asking it to send you the credit card number thru email. That is really unsecure. You would need to get PGP or something to encrypt the email.

How hard is it to have the email encrypted?

Well there are some services out there that do provide this, but I would not suggest it. It really opens you up to more legal battles if something is ever compromised.

I did a search on IWon for secure email & a few paid sponsored listings game up that were also HIPAA compliant. This is something I would look into since HIPAA security has been known to be pretty good.

Try phpcart.net for a simple cart that integrates easily into any site and only needs php....

Phil I just checked out the demo for that and noticed that it's easy to change the website's prices, since they're passed in the URL.

Probably not a big deal for a small site that manually checks every order that comes through, but it still seems like a bad idea:
