Question: Shopping cart software to work across multiple domains?

mtstover — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 06:19:30 -0800

Shopping cart software to work across multiple domains? I want to create a series of niche sites, displaying only a couple of products each. I want a e-commerce engine that I can create to centrally manage pricing, the payment and shipping calculations, and inventory across all the sites. Ideally it would also create customized emails, etc relevant to each domain.

1. It should be cheap.
2. It should be simple (I only want to create product "modules" to integrate into dead-simple HTML pages.)
3. It should be hosted by somebody else - I don't want to spend all my time worrying about uptime, etc.
4. And, ideally, it should be on this list to easily integrate with my shipping outsourcer: http://www.shipwire.com/help/c/how-it-works/carts/

Thanks HiveMind!

I'm happy with E-Junkie. It focuses on the product, not the site. It generates "Add to shopping cart" buttons that you can put on any site. Pricing: $5/month for 10 products; more for more products.

You can customize emails for each product, but I don't think you can have the same product generate different emails for different domains. I don't know how easily it would integrate with your shipper.

Magento is open source ecommerce software that can handle multiple stores, and it has shipwire integration.

Foxycart sounds like it is exactly what you need. http://www.foxycart.com/
(Except for the fulfillment part)

Although it isn't as specific as you want it, I have used Shopify with Shipwire to great success.
