Best shopping cart for digitally delivered products (software)?

[tomld2]

Can anyone recommend the best shopping cart for digital products, such as software? Something that manages users and delivering the products instantly?

Thanks
Tom

I would suggest Miva and then get the electronic checkout module - you can find information on it at snipped also you can check out my store that my wife and I have built using a very customized version of Miva with a laundy list of modules added at snipped

Don't know if is the best but the open source oscommerce has a module that will do that, I just this minute installed it and will use it for photo purchases.

I'm shying away from general ecommerce carts that offer modules. I would rather have something that is specifically for distributing digital software. Something that manages the files, license keys, updates, user accounts, etc. I've looked everyone and found very little. I can't imagine there is not something out there like this, as it's a huge industry. Any advice?

All our software publishing and digital products clients use Digital River which imo is a very good company.

I should also add, we don't want to use a 3rd party hosted solution such as digital river. With the volume we process it simply wouldn't warrent their fees. We are looking for a script which we can run entirely on our servers.

I was wondering if you found anything yet? As I'm curious as well.

[tomld2]

Nothing yet. I can't imagine a market of this size has nothing available. It looks like I'll develop it in house.

Interchange has some built in features for "soft goods".
