Shopping Carts:

The following list of shopping carts covers a range of options and includes the best for compatibility issues:

Securenetshop
is an ASP that uses HTML pages for set up and offers a variety of options, including customer tracking.

Goemerchant
is another ASP that will look after everything for you. The merchant account is included as part of the package, and they provide custom "copy & paste" tools that make set up relatively painless.

Miva Merchant
is a software package that can be hosted either on your server or on a remote server. It offers browser-based administration, a wizard set up, and pre-configured payment processing. Miva Merchant provides plenty of room for expansion, and sells a variety of compatible business-management programs.

Quikstore
is a software package that must be hosted on your server. It's a solid product for a low price. It offers a wizard set up, a configuration editor, a catalog wizard, and more. You'll have to pay extra for the payment gateway, but Quikstore suggests a compatible one.

Optimal Payments
Optimal Payments offers a simple plug and play shopping cart (choose the "Static" version of their credit card payment service) that's ideal for the merchant selling a small number of products.

CCNow
If you're selling a limited number of hard goods, CCNow's plug 'n play solution is the perfect solution (hundreds or thousands of products would probably be better served by a full-fledged e-store). No need for a merchant account, CCNow will process credit card orders for you..

PayPal Shopping Cart
The PayPal brand is becoming more and more prominent on the Net. Using PayPal's service, therefore, may serve as an extra credentializing factor for your Web site.
