shopping cart
Posted: Thu Dec 10, 2009 1:18 am
Hello guys, i want to create a shopping cart on my website. It wouldnt lead to payment gateway but only record the items selected into my database.
Requirements: The shopping pages will contains differents categories, breadcrumbs and pagination. Of course users will be able to choose items across pages and categories.
So my questions are:
- Should i make the shopping page 1 page (using $_get to get page id, category etc)
( requirements is listed above
)- Should i store the items in hidden fields which get pass on to the next shopping page or use cookies?
- Number of items selected should be limited or unlimited?
- Is there any issue involving developing shopping carts? (as i mentioned, it wont lead to payment gateway). I'll escape the string input into the database, check product id if it doesnt exists...
or should i buy/ download a free shopping cart from somewhere (please mention the link if you know any free + good one)
I browsed through different shopping carts online, so expensive
! so i think there must be something hard to develop 1 yourself? Any extra requirements in develop a shopping cart beside the one i listed above?
