What is a good shopping cart gem for Rails?

I want to implement basic shopping cart functionality in my Rails app....are there any good gems that will make this process simple?

i.e. I want the shopper to be able to add products and quantities to their checkout, and I want the admin to be able to add new products to the store (and edit/delete existing ones).

Suggestions?
