Re: KonaKart shopping cart integration
Yes it manages inventory, order processing, payment gateways, users etc... So all of that is done with a nice admin interface already to go. I'm just looking at building some front end component that use it's api for actual store front. Their own default storefront is JSP based and they have an example of another one which I think was flash. Got the rough outline of a category tree, product list, cart and search box done today to see how hard it was going to be and seems quite workable.

KonaKart shopping cart integration
I've been looking for a shopping cart solution that I can properly integrate with wicket.
