I'll second this one. It really is awesome for the price. You're client
will love it as well, as one of its major selling points is that it also
manages orders off line through a very user friendly interface.
The front-end is 'good enough' and runs using a combination of
html(product display) and perl(ordering process). The backend is a PC
based application that enables the user to maintain products and product
hierachies, manage orders (packing lists, invoicing, back ordering, order
line exports etc). I've used it on sites with over 10,000 products. It
even provides its own Java encryption if you don't want to connect to a
payment service. You can also install it so your client can only manage
orders and is not involved in the upload of products. This can be very
important if you have a fiddly site you don't want them to mess up.
It will not remember old orders...
I really can't recommend this strongly enough. It really is amazing value
for money.
There is one downside. The application manages all its content within a
one directory. This can cause you problems if you are attempting to add CF
functionality into the shop. The only way I found to do this was to ensure
that all .htm files were also served by the CF server. That really was my
only gripe with it.
