my client has just two products that they want to sell here:
http://thelittleblackapron.com/h…they want a cart built into the site so the user never has to leave the site to checkout.
what are some EASY to integrate solutions out there? i don't need anything complex since there's just two products!
thanks :)

"they want a cart built into the site so the user never has to leave the site to checkout."
this is not EASY if you dont understand eCommerce whether or not you have 1 or 1 million products.

yes, I understand this. I just built an eCommerce site with 600+ products.
I'm just trying to find the EASIEST solution out there.
Anyone??

you probably want a shopping cart with ajax integration for single page loading?

Here you go:
This is a well done cart perfect for smaller sites in many cases. You can create your own 'cart' page and use an iframe to make the real cart seem like part of your site.
Here an example of a site the uses this method:

has anyone here used Mals? what do you think?
are there any others out there??

Mal's looks a little sketchy. No SSL. Maybe the client should compromise.

Nevermind, the SSL is on payment gateway only. You still leave the site though.

I've just setup a site with Mals. I think you can set all the cart pages to be secure. It is hosted on their servers. You can make it look like part of your site by using an iframe. It is definitely fully encrypted.

I've used mal's for a few projects too. For something quick and simple that will not be updating a lot it is a pretty good solution.
The only real drawback is the leaving the site for checkout.

FoxyCart looks very cool.
Also looking good is Magento:

Or for simpler shops there's Shopify which is a hosted solution
I'm also in the process of evaluating all of these solutions for a client site so would appreciate any input you guys have from experience with these apps.

FoxyCart all the way. On a project like this, it would fit like a glove and you'd be up and running very quickly. Here's a vid tutorial to show you how FoxyCart works:

I'm a designer myself and I don't want to learn a new CMS so I've been integrating FoxyCart into all my sites lately. It's so simple and customizable. You're checkout page is 100% customizable and the visitors will never have to leave the site for their shopping cart. Check them out.
