    Please help with eCommerce Solutions

    I have a web site that is already designed. I have each product living on its own landing page. On each landing page has an "Add to Cart" button. All I am looking for is some kind of solution that will take over from the point of selecting the "Add to Cart" button. I would like a solution that can be customized to the same look and feel of my web site. At this point I do not know if there is such a thing. I have seen some of the hosted solutions. I would rather it be within my site. I looked at zen cart but I do not think this is very flexible with look and feel customization. Does anyone please have any ideas?

    Unfortunately you have built the site 100% backwards.. I don't know of any solution that you can simply slide under what you already have to take over the sales process short of custom building a cart solution.. I would suggested that you install something like OpenCart or Zen Cart and then have someone take your site design and build it as a template in your shopping cart solution..

    What are you using to run the site?

    Mals Ecommerce is a free cart (to a point). You add forms and buttons to your pages which send the purchaser to the Mals Cart, which in turn sends them to your payment processor. Mals is a middle man. There is no database to fill in. All the info for the buttons is on your end. No problem matching your existing theme.

    I'm thinking Zen Cart (or any of the other sim ecommerce software) is over kill in this situation if you only have 20 items and don't plan to expand to hundreds or thousands.

    If you want it to be within you site and be customized to the same look, you have to try some opensource candidate such as opencart, megento, or prestashop

    If you have the pages already done why not just use PayPal buy now buttons or the PayPal cart, off the top of my head there's also nochex and 2checkout which have similar solutions.

    If you're using wordpress then look at wp e-commerce for other scripts there's probably something but I don't know what you're using.
