Need New Cart

jefreier · 1-14-05, 04:07 PM

Hello everyone,
I've been working on this party rental company's website and they are looking to get a new shopping cart to replace theirs. Their current one is hard to edit the items and it has a separate item for say the blue, orange, white, and black table cloth and has that for each different size they carry it in. Currently they are using verio and I'm working on getting them transferred over to Powweb. I like the services and everything here much better. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get a shopping cart that could have features to easily add and change items and sort of like a department store where next to each item you select your size and color. The shopping cart also does not charge a credit card or anything it will only need to send a quote as an email to the company with the chechout information so that they can check availability. Any help would be excellent, a freelancer would work or a company would be nice for the reliability and such. Here's an example of their current shopping cart for Table Cloths (broken images I know, but we're working on getting new images but waiting for the new cart)

osCommerce can do this - you would have a single product and have "attributes" for size and color that the user would select. osCommerce can also collect the credit card info and provide it to the store owner for offline processing. You may want to consider one of the osCommerce offshoots such as Zen Cart for easier setup.

We don't need a page for each individual item like osCommerce does, but more of a list of items (ex: tables, chairs, linens) and just another column for price, quanitity and a dropdown menu for sizes and colors. Something like a Gap or Macy's might have?

You don't need a product description? osCommerce creates the product pages for you automatically, it's no extra effort on your part.

nope, just need something simple that is an enhanced version of the cart that they have already (link is in first post).

I have no idea. Perhaps search lists of PHP scripts for something? What you're asking is more complicated than you may think.
