Shopping carts

which are best?

[mikeD]

I need to setup a free shopping cart system for a friend which also has upfront free payment transcations (% of the sale is no problem). Anyone any ideas on what I should suggest, my friend hasn't much money to start up with.

Hello Mike, I have the perfect place for you to start.

Try visiting this link:

www.nopdesign.com/freecart

It is a Javascript based shopping cart which is easy to setup. They even have a forum to assist you with the integration.

Visit my site <url snipped> which is the same cart I used to build it. I integrated it using Barclays ePDQ but their main support is for Worldpay. I would advise Worldpay as the are widely renowned and Barclays ePDQ is quite hard to setup (it requires PHP, ASP or Perl knowledge). I had to use it as I was an existing merchant customer and got it quite cheaply.

Good luck

Terry

Btw,

The cart is free but the merchant account is not. Like stated, try using this cart with PayPal (which I think is free), I see messages regarding them all the time.

I'd look at mals-e.com and combine it with optioncart or cartkeeper - easy integration and setup. Also very cheap.
