I'd like to learn how this is done. Are there any open source shopping carts which I could setup and test/learn all the ins and outs. I basically want to learn how to setup a store front which will process a CC transaction and notify a merchant.

Thanks,
DJS

Hello,

You could use Oscommerce for the store front end, and to use Paypal for your CC payments.

Regards

Agreed, try OSCommerce and or Magento.

Great thanks! I'll try it. I have had a few opportunities in the past called for installing and configuring a cart with checkout and had to pass them up. Hence the reason for wanting to know so nothing more slips by. Thanks

Also look into Joomla and VirtueMArt, it is a stable solution with many options for a broughter website which not only include a webshop.
