Online Shopping Cart Recommendations

When you offer online sales, you need certain things to transfer money to you. Some shopping carts require you to have the ability to accept credit cards already.

If you have many products, consider a shopping cart program such as:

• osCommerce / osCMAX (free). These programs are good when you already have the ability to accept credit cards, but can also be used if you use PayPal, Authorize.net (etc.) or want to accept checks.
• MIVA (costs about $1000)
• SNS Cart (Secure Net Shop)

If you have very few products, consider a shopping cart program such as:

• PayPal - PayPal is a payment gateway which can also be used as a shopping cart. People can click a button on your site that says something like "Add to Cart" or "Buy Now" and they will be transferred to PayPal's website to complete the sale.
