Shopping Cart Question....and Paypal

Dano2 · 14-Jan-2008, 11:46 AM #1

Hi all,
Just have a question about how shopping carts. If I have a site to sell perhaps like 25 different products and I already have a paypal account, does paypal have shopping cart software that I can use for my site? thanks in advance....

Last I checked paypal can provide a checkout system, but not a shopping cart. You need a system to let users add items to a shopping cart and then send the details of that cart to paypal for checkout.

Ok thanks. Does anyone know where I can find free or low priced shopping cart/software to use for PayPal? I will be having a basic site selling about 25 products...thanks in advance for any help....

there are many free/open source shopping carts available. You need to check what will work with your hosting. What server side languages and databases are available?

They have both linux and windows hosting. Which did you sign up for?

I signed up for Windows hosting...

I would contact your host's support and ask if you have access to asp.net 2.0 and an MS Sql Database. If they are available you can find some free commerce websites here: http://asp.net/community/projects/

Here is what the Host Co I was going to use said:
With regards to your query, ASP.NET 2.0/.NET Framework is only included with the 1&1 MS Business, MS Business Pro and Professional shared hosting packages and the said packages have MSSQL supported.
So the basic package I was going to use doesn't look like it supports. Any suggestions on other places?

I don't know of any hosts that I find so good to recommend. icdsoft.com is good for linux hosting. There are many other threads in this forum talking about hosts,

Hi,

If you sign up for the "Website Payments Standard" method with paypal, they do provide a free "cart".
