anyone do any ecommerce work?
curious to find out what shopping cart you're using, or if you've got a custom solution.
we're looking at putting some offers up on CPA networks and are looking for a streamlined order system.
tnx

foxycart is great.
shopify is fast and easy.
zencart eats crap.
paypal's free cart option isn't bad.
my 2cents.

Run, don't walk, from osCommerce. I've heard good things about FoxyCart, but can't vouch for it myself.

oscommerce is nice if you don't mind stripping it down to the bare bones and rebuilding it.
A custom solution is almost always best in my opinion.

saw foxy cart but we need a 1 page checkout.
wonder how much thats going to run.... to get something simple but good.... we normally sell info products and shit, so its just 1 product with recurring billing.

Do you walk the shopping cart into the parcel or do you line it up and give it a nice push?

tried magento, not a fan. tried zencart, not so fun. tried the wp e-commerce plugin for wordpress, wasn't so bad, but i know wordpress pretty well already. but it's missing some functionality. hmm.. what else?

x-cart has just about every feature a boy could want.
but if you push it, it breaks! http:www.lilylolo.co.uk
new version is all css too. (unlike zencart)

Not a fan of Magento either.. found prestashop to be a nice -and easier to set up- alternative

tried zen, tried magento, tried OS - not for me. CubeCart was the easiest to customise.
And you will need to customise it. For anything major you are betting off rolling your own from the start, but if I had to use one it would be Cubecart..

my marketing friends suggested infusionsoft
i'm thinking its gotta be something custom... fun fun fun

custom is great if you can afford it. i worked for a company that built a custom cart. 5 developers worked on it for almost a year before it was launched. probably cost a half million when all was said and done.

Those 5 developers should have been sacked acescence.
I'd have it done in a week.

Any noise surrounding eSellerate as a checkout method?
There's a frankly excellent C4D plugin that would help with our arch-viz work (Forester which builds plants, trees, and grasses) but the outfit's store points towards an eSellerate payment - and never having experience using it, I am initially wary as adBlocker throws up a ton of warnings...

if you're using WP definitely https://www.woothemes.com/woocom…
