That one is actually a fairly easy shopping cart to implement. There are a lot of things you need to consider before reaching out for this. You have to consider what payment gateway you will be using, whether or not it will be encrypted or not, how you will handle cart sessions when they leave your site and return. It's not an easy thing to do. I started with the shopping cart from agile rails, changed and manipulated it for my own ideas, and a good IPN gateway screencast are the episodes 141 - 143 from Ryan Bates at railscasts.com. I would like to say that if you feel the agile rails shopping cart is complicated, you may indeed be in for some issues trying to implement any shopping cart at all. And, there are very few shopping cart tutorials out there but a lot of payment gateway tutorials. I'm not aware of any plugin for shopping carts. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
