I've reviewed most of the shopping cart posts on here and had trouble finding what I was looking for. I need a shopping cart system that can be integrated into your layout, to where you can just click a buy button for an item, that is added to the shopping cart and then you can just view the cart when you're done.

Demodemo.com has a good example of what I was looking for, and I took note of the program they are using. I was wondering what else is out there? Oscommerce and ZenCart appear to ecommerce sites and not just a shopping cart system.

Thanks

Many many many carts exist. Don't waste days searching for the best one.

If you can program: Use an Open Source cart.

Go to google type "Open Source" and "Shopping Cart" in quotes. You will probably see http://www.oscommerce.com

If you can't program use a Store Wizard/Managed Store solution.

Just go to Google and type "Store Wizard" in quotes and Java then click on search and you will get the most popular E-Commerce Store Wizard on google. You will probably see http://www.allbinary.com

Glad to hear you liked it. Dansie.net has a pretty good cart. It's not the cheapest around at $150, but it is quite versatile. For instance, as a small example, when you click to add an item to the cart, you can be taken directly to the cart and click "Continue shopping" to return to the site, or you can configure it so that you add the item to the cart and are taken to another page, or the same page, etc.

It's a great product and well worth looking at. Not to mention they have great customer service (which is a big plus these days).

Good luck in your search.

Well, I wrote a shopping cart class that I use for running eCommerce sites that generate over a thousand sales a day. It's just a shopping cart class, so not shipping cost calculation. It's all session based so all you shopping cart data is store in session files rather than the database. The advantage is that if you run a e-store with thousands of customers a day, it won't have much of an impact on your database compare to shopping carts that stores the cart content into a database. You can write the contents of the shopping cart to a database during the checkout process using any type of database you want such as MySQL.

I'll can probably put up a sample on how to use it with "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart" buttons. Oh yeah, I'll provide the shopping cart class for free.
