Hi,

My main tool is Dreamweaver and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a way of adding a shopping cart or any stand alone shopping cart programs?

I've got access to Zen Cart, os Commerce, Cube cart and agora shopping cart...although I've not looked at or used them yet.

If you are looking for some software that you can integrate with Dreamweaver, just do a google search for "dreamweaver shopping cart". There's quite a few options, if of course that is what you mean.

Is this a big eCommerce website you are building? Because if it's only small maybe using something like Wordpress with the eCommerce mod might be suitable?

Some questions you may want to ask yourself before you decide:
Remotely Hosted or On website
Payment taken on website or Payment Gateway
One off payment or monthly fees
Template driven or freedom of design
Free installation?
Good support?

www.cartweaver.com is great. It has an unlimited license to use on all your websites and it can be set up via dreamweaver. Customer support second to none

I used zencart as for the flexability and options that the software gives you .
OS-commerce is less flexible for changes.
