out of the box shopping cart

Post by nemus19 »

hi all,

i just completed a php/mysql shoppping cart (using phpshop)

http://www.frompariswithlove.com.au

and was wondering what people thought of the out of the box shopping scripts eg. phpshop or oz-commerce, or any others

OR

if many people are creating carts from scratch and how long did it take people to start from scratch, mine took about a month including filling the DB.

if i were to startup an e-commerce site, i'd probably purchase it. saves me time and money that way. plus, i'd hate to take the risk of coding a shopping cart that contains vulnerabilities that out of the box solutions have already fixed.
