Hello folks,
I'm currently looking for an ecommerce solution to replace my existing store. I purchased an out of the box solution a few years ago that uses perl scripts, and it's always been a bit problematic. Since moving to new hosting, the cart is even more eratic!
So it's time for a change and hopefully something more stable.
I've discovered Zencart and and see that it uses php combined with a MySQL database. I think that this platform may work better for me as I'm already running php scripts lnked to databases without any problems.
Just a couple of questions though before I download and roll my sleeves up.
1. How customizable is Zencart? My current store can viewed at this url: http://www.magicalwonders.com/acatalog/index.shtml
It took a long time to make the store seamless with the rest of the site, and next time around I will opt to make the rest of the site match the store! However, I would like to establish custom header, sidebars and footer. Is this reasonably straightforward with Zencart?
2. I need to be able to specify shipping of products by weight and destination. So I need a system that can calculate total weight of order and then charge postage accordingly depending on where it is being sent. Can I do this with Zencart?
Hope someone can advise.
Many thanks,
Myles
