Has anyone built a "Shopping Cart"?

[ajs]

Hello Everyone,

I am the new guy.

Anyways, thanks for having me! Can anyone tell me how to build my own shopping cart. All I need to know is how to use an addition and subtraction code for adding product amounts together, then adding tax too, if applicable.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Aaron
This is my business website; www.thunderbirdconcepts.com
This site I made, is super plain, due to keeping it just for a business purpose. If it were a graphic design site, then it would be a little fancier.

Mmmm... cross posting. (http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21741)

I'm fired huh. I just posted another cross post in the PHP forum section.

I just heard that it is the code that I need to know in order to make the "Shopping Cart"?

Well, I'm not a cross dresser, so I better not cross post I guess. Yet, at least.

If you go to www.mals-e.com you can download a free shopping cart program that links to your website. Not entirely sure how it works at the moment but it's got to be easier than trying to do it all yourself. And like I said, it's Free!!

Thanks so much! You Rule!!!!!!!!!

If you are feeling ambitious, you can implement this functionality using a server-side script such as PHP or ASP. Both have functionality called "sessions" in which you can implement a shopping cart dynaimcally accross pages. However, for your needs you may want to look at a third party product especially if you need to integrate a payment solution. SSL and credit card transactions get a littlye hairy.

I have a Merchant service, "Verisign", that uses a https secure server. I just need to get the "Submit" button to perform all of the shopping cart functions before submitting to Verisign. I think I am going to try out www.nopdesign.com

I just need to find the time to sit down and do it.

Thanks again!

I have tried using Nopcart for a shopping cart, but have run into problems intregating my secure gateway, "Verisign". Has anybody used "Nopcart", and have you found a way to make it work with the Verisign Payflow link Secure Payment Gateway?

It seems like it would be a very simple Javascript;

All you have to do is have the javascript cart do the adding for you, then you have it submit the added amount (product+shipping+tax), to the
(<!input type="hidden" name="AMOUNT" value="">) value amount.

Here is an example. I just need it to submit the Javascripts amount total for the product or products to the Form Tag "AMOUNT".

example:

<!form method="POST"
action="https://payflowlink.verisign.com/payflowlink.cfm">
<!-- The following fields are required: -->

<!SCRIPT>
CheckoutCart();
</SCRIPT>

<!input type="hidden" name="LOGIN" value="">
<!input type="hidden" name="PARTNER" value="">

<!input type="hidden" name="AMOUNT" value="0.00">

<!input type="hidden" name="TYPE" value="s">
<!-- See “Payflow Link Transaction Types” on page 39 for the list of valid
transaction types. -->
<!-- The following fields are optional--you can choose these or others: -->
<!input type="text" name="DESCRIPTION" value="Order description here">
<!input type="text" name="NAME" value="Billing name here">
<!input type="text" name="ADDRESS" value="Billing address here">
<!input type="text" name="CITY" value="Billing city here">
<!input type="text" name="STATE" value="Billing state here">
<!input type="text" name="ZIP" value="98765">
<!input type="text" name="COUNTRY" value="Billing country here">
<!input type="text" name="PHONE" value="9998887777">
<!input type="text" name="FAX" value="9998887777">
</p>
<!p>Select the form of payment <select name="METHOD" size="1">
<!!!option selected value="CC">Credit Card</option>
<option value="ECHECK">TeleCheck</option></select></p>
<INPUT type=SUBMIT value=" Submit Order ">
</form>


</FORM>

Thanks

Well besides the fact that it is so easy to use..and it is fully compatible with verisign..Which is what I use as well. You can fully customize the pages the way you want them..It uses a data base to track Customer sales and Information. You can get for eather frontpage or for unix based websites. here is the link to there site
