Check this out. It kills both of the carts you are looking at! I
personally know the guy who wrote this and it is simply the best app you
can
find for a core commerce engine. Here is a feature list...
---
ADMINISTRATION
Expandable shipping model based on the total weight of an order
Send bulk email to specific security roles, customers, or anyone who
has ordered specific products
Organization of products and product lines into user-defined
categories
Inventory maintainance by quantity or by expiration date
Display options to allow customers to see available inventory on a
per-product basis Turn individual products on or off
Create auctions out of existing products
Turn an auction on or off independantly of the product it represents
Specify any number of options and virtually unlimited choices for
each option on a per-product basis
Rule editing to allow store-wide product modifications with only a
few keystrokes
Add, delete, and modify users to fit your business
Create your own security roles or use the default roles to limit
users' access to the administration tools
View, modify, and delete orders
Archive capability hides old orders without deleting them
Integrated banner system turns banners on or off in one mouse click
Specify expiration date, max mouse clicks, or max displays for
individual banners
Number of clicks or displays for any given banner is always
accessible and up to date
Bug form allows bugs to be input at any time
Bug tracker allows bugs to be sorted, commented on, deleted, opened,
closed, and put on hold to aid in development
Security log keeps track of user logins and logouts
Client-side error checking (JavaScript) prevents invalid form input
Every product has three generic flags to be used for whatever you
wish (i.e. Flag1 could be for items of the week, etc...)
Category-level discounts will reduce the price of any product in the
category by a fixed amount or a percentage
Discount codes can be created and given out to individual users or
groups of users
Set maximum number of uses for a discount code to be one, infinite,
or anything in between
STORE FRONT
-
Customer login ability:
View past orders
Create, use, and delete shopping lists
Store a default billing address and unlimited shipping
addresses
Quick checkout eliminates time-consuming data entry
Log file tracks logins, failed logins, and logouts
Default store front with home, contact, and privacy pages
Integrated dynamic random banner display with full logging
Default catalog allows drill-down through categories with full
product listings
Auction listings display all items available for auction with links
to purchase the item outright (if applicable)
The auction engine will automatically bid for a user until a maximum
amount (user-specified) is reached
Product and category click logs track every click through the
catalog
Search function searches product names and descriptions
Single style sheet gives developer control over fonts and colors
Shopping basket uses database for unlimited size and scalability as
well as allowing customers to retain items across visits
Full checkout process is seperate to allow a secure connection
Checkout collects billing info, shipping info, credit card, and
shipping method information with full server-side error checking and
validation
Product reviews can be submitted by logged-in users and will not
display until approved by administration
Meta tags are generated for every product and category to ensure
search engines will find you
GENERAL
---
Complete fusebox architecture is widely accepted and easy to
maintain and modify
All administrative database queries are in custom tags to allow easy
re-use during development
Full fusedoc comment headers for fast understanding of each page's
function
Use of the request scope instead of application and server scopes
eliminates possible data corruption and increase scalability
The use of database-stored client variables instead of session
variables allows unlimited clustering of servers
Comes with ACCESS, SQL, and ORACLE databases with stored procedures,
integrity constraints, and much more.
Seperate specialized queries where necesary to accomodate for
differences in SQL syntax between databases
