ignitethesenses Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I use Squirrelcart and I LOVE it. I've tried a LOT of carts, and this is by far the best one I have ever used. The license cost about $100, but it was worth every penny for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I've been using Mal's Cart. It's just a basic cart, but because I have a very basic no-frills site, it works for me. Best part is, it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Mal's premium cart...works okay for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinetreecandles Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I use osCommerce. It's free and there are lots of additions for it which are also free. I will say that it is not for someone who is clueless about PHP. A good paid cart is cubecart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonflydreamer Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 cubecart has a free version, you only have to register it if you want to remove the (Powered by Cubecart) from the title line and the bottom of the page.I have a web client that I installed and skinned a cubecart theme for and they are very happy with it. It's easy to use once you get it all set up. Some web hosts will install it automatically with a script service like fantastico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I've used PayPal's and now Mals. Actually, I used PP and my web designer set up MALS for me. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandissoap Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I am loving my zen cart!!! But I think your entire site has to be built with it....not sure....i had a designer install the cart and come up with a design/layout and then I added all my stuff products etc. I'm very happy with zen.

Shani Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I use mal's free cart service. It works very well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel2211 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I was having trouble finding a shopping cart for my site, i tried to make my own in dreamweaver that was a nightmare, i tried oscommerce. Then tried OscommerceAU Loaded, still no luck then I found CubeCart which is free as stated above I can and do intend to eventually pay for the license but I love my site to pieces. The biggest problem I had with the others was my image sizes were all out of whack but I don't have that problem with CubeCart. Even my husband converted his site to CubeCart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
