Shopping Cart

[Need2know]

What would you suggest is the best shopping cart for beginners? Agora, Interchange or OSCommerce.

OSCommerce [period]

me thinks its more configurable..
from your last post/question on agora.. it might be relevant to note that oscommerce supports all modes of payment.. it has inbuild support for all major credit card transactors, paypal included.

[Need2know]

Can OS Commerce be used with paypal.com?

OSCOmmerce expands its payment functionality through Modules.
The Default Installation includes Modules for

Authorize.net
Credit Card
Cash on Delivery
iPayment
Secure via iTransact
Check/Money Order
NOCHEX
PayPal
2CheckOut
PSiGate
SECPay
Worldpay Online Credit/Debit Card

If you had read my earlier reply:

I did read your earlier comment regarding pay options. Now that I have installed the OSCommerce cart, is there some that I need to do to activate the paypal option? Also, can you tell how I can hide or delete the manufacturers option that displays on OSCommerce.

Thanks.

Need2know, logon into the admin area (yourdomain/shop/admin),
Under Modules, you will find 'Payment'
THere all the payment mode modules are listed.. you can activate and deactivate any of them..

Manufacturers are under admin -> Catalogue -> manufacturers ..
If you delete all manufactures from there, you won't have manufactures showing up.. but this is just my thought...

Under Configuration -> Product Listing -> there is option to display or hide the product manufacturer name.. try that also..

Or if you want to hard edit the php files, I think you can remove the manufactures block by uncommenting the following:

in /includes/column_left.php

$include_file = DIR_WS_BOXES . 'manufacturers.php'; include(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'include_once.php');

Need2Know, get this file

It covers all aspects of modifications of oscommerce..
it is indispensible if you want to modify OSC to work as you want it..

Good Luck!

fireater: thanks for the info on OSCommerce. It does look like a very nice program. I've enjoyed following this thread, and hope to come back to it as a reference when I use a cart.
