Shopping Cart Suggestion

**portkey** · 10-16-2009, 04:00 PM

I own a web design business and was looking to sell some generic scripts to everyone without needing to contact me or wait to receive the link to the download. I want to use a shopping cart and paypal payment services, and I'm looking for suggestions on the shopping cart. What is the best website software out there for a downloads shop?

Also note that they will be receiving a unique user ID and will be inserted into my database, so I'm looking for a script in PHP so that I can add these features myself.

Paypal shop has that ability, but you need to be a registered store owner for that to be possible

I believe oscommerce has that ability with plain install. even if you needed add on module, there would be a free plugin for it guaranteed.

Other choice would be magento, but it is much more complicated...

There are many e-commerce solutions, but I suggest you to take a look at Summer Cart and try the all the features on the online demo. Summer Cart supports e-goods and PayPal. Also it's very easy to modify - I mean you will easily integrate the custom design that you'll create for your online store.

osCommere or Magento should be a good solution. They are the most popular today and is proven to work well with ecommerce sites.

I always recommend zen-cart. It is powerful enough to build any size business sites and it does include 3 methods of Paypal modules.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! I tried out a lot of these live demos and installed a few to try and decided to go with Magento. osCommerce is also a good shopping cart and very widely used, but it became too much work and confusion to get the downloads part working and Magento had a very simple solution for this. I do want to point out however that it requires support of InnoDB storage engine which can be a problem on some servers. I had to change to a new server in order to install and use Magento so be weary on the older servers out there.

Thanks again!
