Re: Shopping Carts

For what its worth, I have setup OSC a few times in the past (around a yaer or two ago and it was a breeze) The thing that i didnt like about OSC was that it had too many DB calls...that might have changed now. Support via the community forums was fantastic. ZC was a bit more of a hassle to setup than OSC but still pretty easy, i found the same complaint of too many DB calls in that too...might have changed now in newer versions. I really liked ZC, cant really remember why but i preferred it over OSC. Agora was pretty good but didnt get around to testing all the bells and whistles, of which it has a LOAD. For me it came under bloatware as there was soooo much I wouldnt ever be using. <shamless list-pal plug> Theres a guy named Tedd on the list, he sets up/sells carts, his services are not free but if you are willing to pay you instead of going 100% free you might want to contact him. Going free and buying both have their pros & cons. </shamless list-pal plug> Note: I dont get a cent for the above plug or any incentives in a material way Cheers!
