Shopping Cart Opinion
Craig (235 points) | Thu, 2005-03-17 19:14Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if any of you who are familiar with e-commerce shopping carts could give me your opinion on one that I've been looking at recently.
It's called PDshop Pro Advanced Edition, and it seems to be one of the best I've seen so far. Be sure to check out the "test drive" section to see an online demo of both the frontend and backend. The big thing that interests me is how easy it seems to customize every aspect (no need to critique based on design, since this will change drastically).
One other thing - the backend seems to use Java (?) for its html page editing capabilities. I've been unsuccessful with Firefox, Safari, and IE displaying this properly. Any suggestions?

yuck, asp. I'm a php fan myself though I have to work with windows servers and asp vb every day....I'd look around at the numerous open-source solutions. Hyperkulture has a variety of prepackaged carts available, though I can't remember them all off the top of my head, I'll send you more info on some of them tonight.
