    Default General Question on Zen Cart

    I run a small website design company. I have designed many websites but never an eCommerce site. I have a new client that runs a charity. The client wants the site to allow online contributions via credit card and wants a very small online store -- just two products! The store would need shopping cart and checkout capability.

    Is Zen Cart a good candidate for my new website? I am very busy and don't want a steep learning curve for new software. I want this to be quick and easy.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Yes, Zen Cart is a good candidate.

    There will be a learning curve no matter what e-commerce package you select, so be prepared.

    For two products only you might be better off using Wordpress and just add an E-Commerce plugin or alternatively a few Paypal buttons linking to payment for the product, much quicker and no learning curve necessary.

    I recommend the Suffusion theme, thats what i use for my film website.
