OpenMerchant is the same caliber as MiniVend! Good for a serious commerce
site.
Are you also processing credit cards? Check to see what is your Internet
gateway? CyberCash, LinkPoint, AuthorizeNet, ...?
The simplest one I think is the commerce.cgi, from Carey Internet,
http://www.careyinternet.com/cgi-bin/demo/store/commerce.cgi. It is based
on the famous Selona's webstore,
http://www.extropia.com/scripts/web_store.html. There is a book on it!
You do need to know Perl to customize them.
I have used commerce.cgi in a couple of mom-and-pop web sites with few
hundred items. Work great! As expected of any good open-source software.

Subject: Re: [ale] Shopping Cart software
OpenMerchant at http://www.OpenSales.org/ is a GPL'd e-commerce app. It *is*
written in Perl, but I don't know how much of it you'd need to know in order
to use it on your site. It looks as if it doesn't require a daemon other
than
an httpd such as Apache, and you could probably configure it to run under
your account's own cgi-bin directory, or even convince your IPP to put it
under /home/httpd like the docs recommend.
