I found ZenCart to be more robust in features than OS Commerce: http://www.zencart.com/ Both products looked decent, but I found I was wasting a lot of time trying to make it work more simply-- particularly trying to create a very simple GUI for my needs without all the wiz-bang doo-dads that they have by default for the user. I ended up discarding canned solutions and mostly re-wrote my existing system. The motivating factor for changing my shopping cart in the first place was to add coupon codes for a promotion I wanted to run, so I added that when rebuilding it from the ground up(copying and pasting most of the HTML), made product attributes dynamic, supported 'skins' or styles(I had to be able to use it for different websites and maintain a look and feel for each), and added a mechanism to specify auto-fulfillment URL per item(used for electronic delivery of software keys). Overall, I probably spent 5 hours of designing/coding time to get my shopping cart(all ASP and Javascript) to support my needs, starting from scratch except for some basic form HTML and Javascript validation... -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
