      Hi,
      I've worked with different shopping carts and must say that each of them have their advantages and disadvantages. However, I would recommend osCommerce. It is pretty easy to use and set up, but if you need to customize it, it can be really difficult. But for this reason there are many shopping cart solutions, such as Store Manager for osCommerce, which enhancesthe functionality of osCommerce shopping cart.

      As for the others shopping carts, I would reccomend Magento, but it is very complicated in use, besides it is designed more for big stores.
      CubeCart is very simple in use, but it lacks features and funktionality.
      In my own opinion, all the shopping cart has their pros and cons,everything depends on what products you are going to sell and how big your store will be!

    Which are you looking for- a template or a shopping cart script? What are you currently using at godaddy?

    If you're looking for a cart, there are many excellent open source options available. My personal preference is zen cart, but configuration requires a learning curve. That said, it's an easy install, and there are lots of free skins on the web to give you a more customized look.

    Other free carts include cubecart and oscommerce. Do a google search to find more. Another thing you might want to consider is using a cms for your site that has a shopping cart plugin or extension. I believe that Joomla and wordpress have that option.

    Good luck!

    Zen cart is a good option you can also use ejunkie.com. I have used them and never had an issue. I think you can start at $5.00 a month for 10 items or so.

    I use midcart. I really like it.

    You can find it at midcart.com

    I bought it off ebay from the developer. It was much cheaper. type in the search bar "shopping cart software" his ebay user name is midscripts

    I think you will like it. Their website has a demo so you can actually try it before you buy it. I hope this helps you with your quest for a shopping cart!

    Good Luck

    I recommend OpenCart. Just got it setup and installed for a customer of mine and it is fairly easy to use and to learn. You can accept paypal payments and setup an entire online store with it. Did I mention that it is FREE!! Just google it.
