I am building an html5 site for someone and I am wondering what the best option would be for a shopping cart. I want something that will be integrated on the various pages, not just a separate area for a shop, although we may utilize that option also. She has used ZenCart on her other sites, but perhaps there is something better. I am not a developer so the simpler the better. There is a lot of merchandise to list. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
You can use OpenCart. Its easy to make websites using it.
zencart is easy to edit ,even in code level.
but opencart is more powerful than zencart,especially in marketing and image manager.
so ,I also recommend opencart.

I'm stuck on the logic of implementing a cart system for my Application. I have tried using Sessions but I can't seem to make it work. Please any answer would be well appreciated. Thanks
I recommend you to get inspired in some open source projects that nail this specific task, or just use it, like django-carton which is a simple and lightweight application for shopping carts and wish lists.
I'm very new to shopingcarts and am very impressed with Opencart. After looking under the hood, is there a way to allow users who register to add their own products to be sold? In effect, it becomes a B2B site like alibaba.com or ebay.
Feel free to correct me if I'm not approaching this the right way. I'm also open to other suggestions on which cart I should be using...as long as it's not Magento. hehe
That would require extensive modding, you definitely won't find this solution for free. I personally don't think this platform is well-suited for this, but of course it could be done, it's a straightforward MVC platform.
I am looking for a wiki type software to keep something like a wiki/knowledge base at my university. I tried MediaWiki (with FCKeditor), DokuWiki and MoinMoin, but they seem too hard to use for an average user - at least not without some trouble.
I found Google Sites to be almost ideal for my purpose, but as I mentioned the wiki is to be used at my university, there will be a strong demand to host it on our servers.
Do you know any software similar to what Google Sites offers? What I really want is a WYSIWYG editor and a hierarchical menu structure - without cryptic "categories" or lots of colons or brackets.
Actually, providing some hacking every CMS (Drupal, Joomla, Wordpres...) could help you.
You (the developer) just have to build the site (design, use cases, deployment...etc) according to your (University) needs: simple & intuituve UI, simple tasks..etc
ZEN Cart seems to be able to do anything I could possibly ever want, but seems a bit bloated (for me) and more importantly - it's design process seems unbearable. I don't want to have reform a default design, I have my website design completed other than the shopping cart related items. I want to be able to add them in, working the shopping cart into my site, rather than the other way around. I need a shopping cart that can handle discounts and inventories and such, and of course as small as possible. Can anyone help recommend an OS cart that will allow this?
Thank so much for your time and suggestions!!
You didn't ask for any platform/languages in particular, so.
If you're using Django, then Satchmo looks to be an attractive option. Even if you're not, it might be fairly trivial to mash in, depending on how your site is set up.
You could consider using the cart that Google Checkout provides — is a JS system , easily themed with CSS (if you can learn to accept the !important tag), but SimpleCartJs is as easy as it comes, and it's for PayPal. Re-styles easily and it's pretty elegant.
Any good cfml Shopping Cart app? Tried using one? What's your experience with it?
There are few carts listed in Arehart's list. Haven't tried any, so can't give advices.
I've used SiteSirector by QuillDesign before, and tried a few others. SiteDirector was the best I've seen. It's pretty easily extended and has a lot of features out of the box. I would recommend you take a look at it.
I have been using Cartweaver so far. It has been pretty good. If you are integrating it with an existing site you will have to merge the application cfm/cfc's which can get a bit hairy.
Cartweaver is well written otherwise though. I hope in future versions they will make the entire cart into cfc's, but it is a great value for the dollar.
My needs have allways required completly custom applications; however, this package has allways interested me: http://www.cfwebstore.com/
Great Price
Open Source Code
Good luck.
