Hi all,

I'm looking for some help. I have been searching for a shopping cart which is fairly easy to integrate into an existing website (which currently supports Paypal only).

I want to be able to have a cart, based on my website, then offer two payment options at the end to the customer:

Paypal and Worldpay.

I do not have a great deal of technical knowledge (Perl etc), so would like this software to be easy to customise, with me working with HTML only preferably.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi Caibouk, welcome to TWF! :wave:

Have you got a link to the existing site? If the site is only a shop it's probably worth re-doing the whole thing in a shopping cart. I expect Worldpay offer a simple shopping cart that would integrate with a static site, you setup the products on their site then adding an item to the cart is just a matter of clicking a link on your site. This will never be as good as a complete shopping cart 'solution' though. Smiling

First thing you should do is have a look at what Worldpay and Paypal offer. I don't know of a system that will integrate with a static site, which provides a shopping cart, allowing the customer to choose between Paypal and Worldpay at the checkout. The only static system I know is like our ads page: http://www.webmaster-forums.net/advertise.php That doesn't mean what you're looking for doesn't exist though, maybe someone else has an idea. Personally I'd just use a shopping cart system though, I can point you in the direction of one or two to try if you like? Smiling

You may want to look into a shopping cart solution like recommended by JeevesBond. Try checking out www.x-cart.com. Check their feature list and also take a look into the support manual. The cart is template based and shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.

A link to your existing site would help. Smiling

Hi guys! Smiling
When it comes to integrating a cart into static HTML, Avactis is the right thing. You can integrate parts of the cart into existing pages by inserting simple PHP tags like <?NavigationBar();?> and it will work Smiling
