Online shopping cart

Posted by s1 (467 days ago)

Can anyone advise which software is easy to use so I can create an online shopping cart for my business. In terms of payment I am thinking about using Worldpay but I need to buy the software to create the shopping cart. I am quite computer illiterate so I prefer something that is quite simple. We have many items so I need a software that can intergrate many items and also split them into groups. Also where can I buy the software?

s1, if you cannot find this sort of information yourself, are you sure you want an online business? :-)

I am not sarcastic! The smiley shows it is well-intended, but harsh reality! :-)

People who do not know how to find simple information on the internet, let alone confess to be "quite computer illiterate", should not set up an online business. Period!

Pabmove,

A lot depends on your budget and the operating system of your site. If you are using a linux system, agora is a nice free choice.

If you are looking for an entire site I like Zencart. But that may be overkill for your needs.

If you are using a .NET website, you might be able to tweak one of the .NET training packages (I think the spy-store module has the shopping cart.)

Also, instead of worldpay, you might want to think about Google's pay system.

I hope this helps a little,

John

I am sorry, I see nothing in the forum rules that says links in a signature is not allowed.

I think it is kind of selfish to expect us, your users, to give your site value, but you won't even allow a reciprocal kindness.
