An e-commerce site allows visitors to purchase goods or services from your site. It is usually linked to a database of your products.

When developing an e-commerce site, it usually makes sense to use one of the many excellent e-commerce shopping cart tools available today. The choice of program depends on your requirements.

Four e-commerce shopping cart solutions which we highly recommend are:

OS Commerce - A fully featured open source shopping cart. To see this cart in action, please visit our demonstration OS Commerce store

Actinic - One of the market leading programs, allowing a fully featured site to be developed and integrated with any existing site.

commerce-cgi - An excellent first time e-commerce solution which allows a searchable product catalogue to be stored on line and a range of payment methods to be used.

PayPal Shopping Cart - An easy to set up shopping cart which takes customers to view the items they want to purchase in a cart on the PayPal web site. Good for simple e-commerce sites selling only a few prodcuts.
