Title: Anyone ever used sorted an on-line shop?
Post by: YvonneH on February 01, 2011, 11:50:10 AM
I am currently looking at on-line store solutions to be integrated into my website so that I can offer a standard set of basic bouquets for delivery or collection.

I've just downloaded zen cart but am already confused as to what it does and how it works. I'll google it properly later but thought I would ask here in case anyone knows anything that is more straightforward to use and set up.

Have you tried Paypal it is really quite straight forward and works well for me! you can make the "add to cart buttons" on there site then copy the HTL code to yours.

I've been recommended a shopping cart by Anne Ashworth so will send you the link when I find it.

I use the pinacle cart template, it must be well easy if I can use it but there are a few technical things that I have to pass over to others but that is due to my lack of technical ability.
I'm 100% happy with it.

I would very strongly recommend you don't even try - use a commercial shopping cart solution or paypal

Found the email I sent myself when talking to Anne and she has been using Open Cart which has a load of extensions. I've downloaded it along with delivery add-on and a few other bits but won't get a chance to play before Easter I don't think as I'll be too busy!
