Hi all!

I'm having a really tricky time finding a non template-based shopping cart and I'm hoping that someone might have suggestions. I was using Cart32 on a ReadyHosting account, but all of the "buy" and "view" links to my cart randomly broke the other day, and tech support has been no help. I set up a Mal's cart as a quick fix, but I'm really looking for a more permanent solution.

Because my site is already completely designed in PHP and I don't want to mess with matching my site to template files, I'd really prefer a non template based shopping cart that uses HTML forms to generate the "Add to Cart" buttons, like Cart32 and Mal's. It seems that most carts have moved to a template format though. Are there any carts left that circumvent templating/skinning and still have decent features? Any suggestions would be great!

Have you looked at Avactis (http://www.avactis.com/)? Their tagging system lets you add cart features to existing sites without disrupting the current design.

I like the flexibility (design-wise) the Avactis Tags offer. For those wanting to use it, they are currently offering a 50% discount on the shopping cart (valid until Jan 2, 2008).

Discount code: CHRISTMAS

I'm surprised you don't feel that Mal's is a "permanent" solution. I have used his free service for 7 years running. That's pretty permanent in my book...... :D
