anybody know of a simple free shopping cart software? - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

ubaidabcd · 06-28-2007, 06:22 PM

I know this might not be the right forum to post this in, but I've searched and searched through search engines and can't find a free program. PayPal has an option to create free "add to cart" button but the item on my website needs a drop-down box, and the PayPal button is coded through the "add to cart" button, so even if you have a drop-down box, it's going to charge the price that the button was setup with. I'm just accepting PayPal, I don't need a shopping cart to accept credit card payments. Also I only have basic html skills.

Thanks

You need to look at the paypal options again. You can make it so that it changes price based on a drop down.

I spent hours with it, and I didn't see anything like that, they give you a link with information stating instead of a text box, you can have radio buttons, then I had to find the html code for a drop-down box myself. I didn't see anything about changing the price.

EDIT: They do have directions on how to setup a drop down box, but their code doesn't have different prices for different sizes.

I'll check out zen-cart

I setup zen-cart one afternoon - very simple compared to OSC

I'm trying to install, but getting this error: " Connection to Database failed
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' (2)"

I e-mailed them and see what they say, but I posted it here if anybody understands what this means. If it makes any difference I'm on godaddy. I did create a mysql database and password, but I'm getting the same error.

If every thing is fine godaddy's side then it's probably wrong connection information for the mysql server.
