Re: Shopping Cart and CMS

I appreciate any advice based on real-world experiences. Thanks in advance.

I really did see these things on the CPAN :)

Shopping cart is just session managment, use any framework you're familiar with ...

Some related wisdom here: My Experiences with using CGI::Application and Template::Toolkit To Build an Online Shopping Cart; A Secure Shopping Cart option; Building E-Commerce Sites with Handel; Simplifying Design of Complex Workflows

If I had 100s of products to sell I wouldn't roll my own, I'd use things like yahoo merchant or ebay

The Yahoo Merchant services (which I had not considered before your suggestion) look attractive feature-wise. Have you (or anyone other monks) ever implemented and customized a Yahoo Merchant store? What were your general thoughts of it and what were the challenges with using it? My apologies for getting outside of the realm of perl, here.	[reply]
