Has anybody got any links Software Free carts and SSL? Anything would be great. I just need a starting point really. Cheers! evildrneil 17-01-2005, 11:38 Take a look on www.freshmeat.net - there are several systems on there which are released under GPL (or something similar) most will be written in PHP or PERL over a database backend (most likely MySQL) sccsux 17-01-2005, 12:20 Originally posted by Lickable I have been asked to set up an ecommerce site, and have little knowledge of them.

Free carts are 10 a penny: osCommerce (http://www.oscommerce.org/) is one of the better known scripts for web based eCommerce, though is a bit of a pain to fully customise. CubeCart (http://www.cubecart.com/site/home) is also free and is a little easier to customise. SSL certificates are available from FreeSSL (http://www.freessl.com) and are reasonably priced ($39) - especially @ the moment with the US$ being almost worthless! For other eCommerce scripts try HotScripts (http://www.hotscripts.com/) and search for ecommerce (in all/desired scripting language). ncrossland 20-01-2005, 11:03 Or Zen Cart, which is based on OS Commerce, but easier to customise too. See the link in my sig for secure hosting and certs - if budgets are tight all accounts come with SSL and use of a shared certificate. Lickable 20-01-2005, 13:49 Signed up for that Mal's Ecommerce. Its free unless you want a little more control. Does anybody know any reasons to why i shouldnt of done this :D |
