Hi Guys

I'm looking to build a new site including a shopping cart, I've never used one before and have many questions.

Which is the best to use?
Do I build all the product pages first then add the cart after?
How exactly do I add a shopping cart?
How do I ensure secure payment?

      The products are physical, I'm just not familar with the shopping cart module, does it run on your product pages, or is the cart completley seperate.

        Just had a look at open cart which looks good, has anyone any experience of it, are you limited to how the site looks?

    There are a lot of different options. If you're OK with using Paypal, I've had good results using Wordpress and a plugin called Wordpress Estore Plugin ($39). When someone click your Paypal "Buy Now" button the shopping cart pops up in the sidebar. Here's where you can purchase the plugin if your are interested: Products | Tips and Tricks
