I installed and played around with Zen Cart, Cube Cart, OS Commerce and a couple of others. They are way to much, as far as I can see. I don't need a whole shopping cart, I guess. I want to keep my website as is. I think they can be integrated, but I don't know how much trouble that would be.
So, while looking around, I found paypalshoppingcart.org. With it I can generate buttons using my own images or PayPal images which will not change the look of my website at all. It seems to have all the features I need for now and the immediate future. With the PayPal IPN it's $59.00.
So, my questions are: Is there an easier way to get what I want?, Has any one used this software?, Is it worth the money?, Is there something else I could use for less money?
Any information will be very helpful.
