ASP shopping cart?

[tasneem]

Hi all
I have an ecomm website under development, with an Access database. I can do the part of retrieving the records from the db into the asp pages.
What I would like to do next is integrate a shopping cart script into the db. Is there any script available, or is there a way I could do it myself? I would appreciate any help.
thanks

you have products in your db already? there are a lot of hosts out there with shopping cart/e-commerce packages available that will do everything from cataloging your products to processing credit cards for you.

did you take a look at webassist's eCart or cartweaver?

Hi
I have already bought a readymade shopping cart, but the db with the shopcart is much more straight forward - one table for categories, and one for products. The db I have is very large, in the sense that it has a master category table, then a category and also a subcategory table. All these are interrelated.
I tried integrating the readymade script with this db, but it does not work.
Thanks

I generally think of a shopping cart as a fancy name for a session array. And here is a good resource that includes how to use session arrays:

And if you don't want to "roll your own," this resource has a list of free and commercial shopping cart components, as well as some pure ASP shopping carts:
