I can tell you that most people will just roll their own ecommerce implementation, and there are plenty of CPAN modules to make it very easy to do so. I think the general philosophy here, or at least one that I hold, is that it is just as easy to build your own ecommerce site with the available tools than it would be to customize a framework-based system. If you don't need customization there are also plenty of tools out there to build up a store-front. If you do opt to go the DIY route, here are some tips for building it: * Use Catalyst::Action::REST for CRUD, simplifying your code by delegating to _POST actions * DBIx::Class for the ORM * DBIx::Class::EncodedColumn for encrypting your credit card fields Myself and gphat are working on Business::Payment, a Moose-y role based implementation for processing credit cards. I've written an Authorize.NET handler that works quite well. You can snag this from github at: http://github.com/gphat/Business-Payment/ http://github.com/jshirley/Business-Payment-AuthorizeNet -J
