Thanks Ferg, we'll look into it that option.  We have also looked at
oscommerce which is an open source php project.

Subject: Re: Shopping Cart solution - any others to look at?

My advice, and this is gonna be wildly unpopular on this list, is to use 
X-Cart (www.x-cart.com). It's PHP not CF, but it is very good. I've used 
it in a number of situations and I've never regretted it. I always 
wished I was better at PHP when using it, as it would have taken me a 
lot less time to do some of the custom mods I did, but it really is a 
nice app. Actually, what I really wished is that I had time to dedicate 
to making a CF store app that matched X-Cart feature for feature -- that 
would be the perfect scenario. It's cheap too; for a complete Gold 
license with source and all is only $200 and it will give you, I bet, 
everything you need.

I agree with the others that building your own cart is the way to go, 
but if time is an issue you can get x-cart up and running and loaded 
with products in just a couple of days.
