Re: Shopping Cart recommendations?

To the best of my knowledge, there is only one PHP shopping cart worth anything at all, and that's http://www.fishcart.org/ As I am finding out, Extropia's Perl script is very well developed and therefore no doubt far superior to fishcart, but that's *Perl*, not PHP. Fishcart doesn't have the whiz-bang functionality that Extropia boasts, but it is PHP, therefore faster (and more progressive :) I have gotten fishcart to work, so yes, it does work, and it's a pretty good little program. But check out the functionality you need first, and make sure it can deliver. HTH, BenO At 01:02 AM 9/2/2000 +0800, you wrote:

Hi folks, I'm looking for personal recommendations on shopping carts and ecommerce solutions. I'd like to be able to change the code as much as I need, so I'm wondering whether one of the Perl Open Source ecommerce projects are good news? These are the features required: -The shopping cart system itself with the usual product info, customer registration, and database (I think a real, relational database would be preferable over a flat file database. There'll be about 500 items) - Purchase by either credit card or customer account. (Actual payment processing will be manual) - Customers can write their own reviews (this is for a bookseller) - Feedback/Customer Service correspondence. (I can of course easily write my own add-on, but it would be nice if it were included) - A system which uses templates would be good, so we can seperate the design from the code. Are there any useful features you know about which I haven't mentioned?
