Shopping Cart Needed With These Features...

[Brian07002]

Hi There,

I am currently looking for a new shopping cart for my website...I will tell you what I am looking for as I now know what I have faulted on in the past...

1. I will *Definitely* need a shopping cart that has a 'dropshipping feature' built in. (meaning I would need to have the cart be able to accept mulit-ship *FROM* locations, as I have some products which will be shipped from another business location than mine.

2. I accept paypal payment's only, the cart will have to accept paypal, (and something I missed from other carts, was the IPN feature...This *MUST* be in it and ready to use without additional setup, or very little configuration on my part to get it to work. I am no programmer here 

3. I *HATE* the part of having to login to my website *everytime* to purchase, but don't mind if you just have sign-up to make checkout quicker, (or newsletter sign-ups) in the sense of just having to add your name, & address/email to make checkout quicker, that's ok.

4. Must be browser based cart ( could be hosted, but reasonably priced )

5. A Really 'clean' admin area to add / update products.

6. Unlimited Categories / Unlimited Subcategories per category, as in:

Category Name:

Toys

[Video Games]
[Consoles]
[Games]
[Console Accessories]
[etc..]

7. Additional Features would be great, affiliate program, banner advertise feature...You know the bells & whistles that make a great website...But don't forget the most important is what is stated up top of this message. My website is: Http://www.brothersvarietystore.com and the cart I am using now is Sunshop 3.2.

Thank you for your time!

Hi Brian , I am not sure if this is right for you. For one thing I don't even know what IPN is! LOL! I tried a huge amount of different shopping carts. I only accept PayPal and my shopping cart system is WONDERFUL.I  MEAN I looooooooooooooooooooooove IT!I click on my shortcut to my cart program, Fill in item title,number,cost and shipping cost then click make a button, copy paste and put it on my webpages. It is super easy, fast, and totally secure because when buyer clicks on the cart button they are taken to paypal with the form all made out. Sorry I didn't get the link, but I'm in the middle of a bunch of stuff, but it's called Shane's PayPal Shopping Cart and it's only $9.99 U.S.D. A one time payment. They send you the code and you're on your own! You can check mine out. You can add whatever picture of course for your button. I use a cash register. Anyway it makes listing new items soooooooofast and easy ands It's secure and well need I go on any further! LOL! If you check mine out my website is http://retrofanatic.comgo ahead and click on the cart of an item and see what it's like then you can just remove your order and empty cart. If you have further questions, I try and check in here ,but am not always regular about that so you can email me through my site.Let me know what you think!

Take a look at http://www.oscommerce.com. It's an open source program. Be sure to run through the contributions for your add-on's.

I agree with JohnAsk and my choice would be OSCommerce as well, it's very nice program with a wide range of features and it's also open source
