Been out of the game (not built a shop in years) and looked at the two old front runners (oscommerce and zcart) and neither seem to have have improved much over the years. What I am looking for is a open source cart which runs on php and connects to paypal.
What is the new cart everone is using?
R.
OpenCart OpenCart is a very popular free PHP ecommerce shopping cart and platform. OpenCart has a very strong and helpful community of professionals. OpenCart has an easily manageable interface with more than 8 methods of shipping, 20 gateways for payment, and hundreds of gateways and shipping methods in the directory.
The flexibility, speed, and cost-efficiency of PHP make it one of the best solutions for building an e-commerce website. Its frameworks simplify the job of the developers and offer an excellent time-to-market even for budget options.
The shopping cart page (cart. php) will add the product to cart. With the quantity form field, we can set a maximum value, this value is set to the product's quantity (retrieved from the products table). The product ID is also added to the form, as this is so we know which product the customer added.
It is illegal for a person having a shopping cart in his or her possession to abandon it on any sidewalk, street, other public place, or outdoor private property that is visible from public property. It is illegal to steal, take, or remove any personal effect from private property unless approved by the owner.
I would suggest opencart (http://www.opencart.com/) and Magento (http://www.magentocommerce.com).
Both are quite solid and reliable, been using them myself. Both are quite easy to setup. Magento has, as mentioned as well in this question, a very active community so getting help is easy, and there's a lot of good plugins for them. Both work with paypal.
