I'm fairly new to Umbraco and I'm looking at adding a shopping cart to my site, what are peoples opinions on the current shopping carts available and which one would be recomended as the easiest to get running with Umbraco. I have no idea about shopping carts so any suggestions would go a long way.
Not sure about a simple cart, what would it need to do? You could try a paypal button or something like that. Personally, I think you might be better off with a webshop type of package, that way your site can grow easier if needed.
Currently, the best offer seems to be SuperSimpleWebshop which is €99,- for a full blown webshop which can be from very small to large, whatever you need. You can download it and install a full shop to test it out, when you're ready to deploy you will need a license to remove some messages in e-mails to shoppers.
Thanks for the reply. My site will be selling simple products such as t-shirts and small items, I don't need anything over complex. Been a student I'd prefer something open source. I have read about commerce 4 umbraco and google checkout but I'm unsure which would be best and easiest to get up and running, any thoughts?
Commerce4Umbraco hasn't been worked on for ages, I never got it to work on my Umbraco installs anyway.
Google Checkout could work, but I have no experience with it. Looks simple enough though, not sure what payment methods are supported though and if they are suitable for your needs.
