Hi there.

I am looking for a shopping cart CMS that will allow users to register and sell their own products. Namely digital downloads. I can work on the downloads side i am just looking for some MOD or plugin for an existing CMS that handles the multi - vendor part.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks.

Hiya,

Do you want to make one or is using a whitelabel (if you want) SaaS app that does all of the above an option?... would just need to make a downloads bit to be secured to an order (wont take long todo)...

Thanks, they look OK. Do you have any personal experience with any of them? I guess there is no current open source solution. Somebody on the open cart forums is on about making an extension but nothing yet. . .

I used to use X-cart a few years ago but it was pretty frustrating to use, however it has improved a lot since then. CS-cart was created by some ex-xcart developers and is very similar. They both work well, have you tried out the demos?
