Simple Shopping Cart, do I need ZenCart?

I want to have a shopping cart on my site so users can keep adding items and the total is calculated. I then want payment through PayPal.

Can this be done with PayPal alone or do I need something like zencart?

The frustration with using PayPal buy-now buttons only, is that the user is taken to PayPal "checkout" whenever they add a product... then they have to navigate back to your store.

Zencart is sophisticated software, and does take some time to get to grips with - but for CUSTOMERS it's a far more logical and easy-to-use interface.

Only you can make the decision about how you would like your customers' shopping experience to be designed.

I would always go with a sophisticated software (zencart) as it allows for a wide variety of additional features if and when I need to choose such features.

PayPal integrates very easily with Zencart.
