Linking my Database to a Shopping Cart

mattbrand

Hey all.

I have a customized product database tied to a website that I built that I want a snap-in PHP shopping cart for.

I can't use XCart or OSCommerce, because our product database is more complex than what they offer, and I want to maintain the products myself. Basically ideally what I want is a simple PHP shopping cart that

when the user clicks on buy a product, I send a command to add a product to the cart (with product name, scent, size and price)
when the user clicks checkout, they can login or purchase as a guest
handles the credit card processing

Is there such a thing?

There is no magic bullet for shopping carts--especially if your product database is 'more complex than what they offer'. You could try Zen Cart or Paypal shopping cart, but you'll have to read their documentation and make an assessment as to whether that would work for you - which is almost tantamount to writing one yourself.

Thanks for the quick response.

My thought was to use my database and website to showcase the catalog of products, and then when an item is clicked for purchase, I send a set of data to a simple shopping cart plug-in.

I have one right now that we are using, MOFCart, but it is in cgi, so I don't have access to certain things that I want to tweak. I was wondering if the same kind of thing as MOFCart is available in a php based app?

If you google for "mofcart php" then this thread that you have only just posted is the 2nd result. This kind of confirms what I'm saying. Namely, that there is no 'magic bullet' for shopping carts. You have to read about each one and make an assessment yourself. You're already talking about the inadequacies of various other carts and saying that you want to tweak things.

OK thanks for the replies.

There is such a thing, I've written one. Fully class based.

I may be willing to reconfigure it for your needs, PM me if you're interested.
