I want my customer to be able to select a few options via radio buttons (12 months or 24 months - how many photos in their photo album, etc) that impact the price. Then, I want the customer to click a "checkout" link that takes them directly to a form to input billing address and credit card information. Any recommendations/guidance? I'm calling around and speaking to payment gateways and merchant account providers but wanted to tap into the open source community to see what's out there that can fit my needs. I really don't think this is that complex of a task, or maybe it is?

Well... Do you mean that you've created a storefront already and need a cart, or do you need the whole thing? There really isn't any only cart software, they all include a storefront. From what I've seen, Zen Cart is pretty well featured and is open source and free.

No, it's not that complex. And if you want something simple, you may want to make your own cart and use something like PEAR's Payment_Process to deal with the payments. That said, I believe that Zen Cart does product options, but don't quote me on that, I've never actually used it myself, just looked. ;-) -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
