I'm setting up an online shop and I've just created my worldpay account to accept credit/debit payments. I now need a decent shopping cart program, but most of the ones I have seen look awful! Cubecart looks the best so far, but their new version is $200.
Can anyone recommend a better shopping cart, preferably open source? If not, I will probably just pay for CubeCart. |

OsCommerce or ZenCart. Those are pretty much standard these days. Both open source.

Cheers gregg. I looked at OsCommerce a couple of years ago and I wasn't overly impressed. Will see if it's been improved and will give zencart a go.
Has anyone had experience with x-cart? |

Depending on what you want it for, there is an excellent choice that is a Wordpress plugin.
http://www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce Technibble uses a modified version of this system for its Computer Business Kit. There are examples of an unmodified version on their site.

I used Miva Merchant for many years until they released version 5. They had lousy support but a decent mail list. Some of the users were developers and helped everyone out. The software was too expensive.
I considered OSCommerce last year and it looked good, but I wanted one I could integrate into a CMS and although there is a version of OSCommerce available for it I opted to go with one written specifically for the CMS.

not to hijack or get off topic:
is anyone using or can recommend a newsletter/mail list program. I have a client who currently has a mail list program on a linux box, but it's an older hand written program that is a pain to use. they are looking for something easy to use and manage, as they do get a lot of their customers signing up for newsletters. any help is appreciated. I'll start a new thread if necessary to continue this topic. |

I would use CRE Loaded. It is an altered OS Commerce open source cart like zen cart.

QUOTE] Miva is a very stable shopping cart, however, you get a very basic cart and need to buy tons of add-on modules to get everything you need.
