Are you using a shopping cart? (not wp ecommerce)

[violet]

My shopping cart saga continues...

I WAS going to stick with the less-than-ideal WP e-commerce plugin for the store on my site, but after this week, forget it. I just have to listen to my vibes and put them together with my experiences. This plugin is just too much trouble and not enough support.

Just some info...I had it working fine yesterday with PayPal as a gateway. Then I also activate Google checkout and entered the info for that and after that...it's all screwy. When you try to add an item to the cart, it just continues to say it is updating the cart but it never completes. I have to go back to the main page of the store. Then I can see that it actually did add the item, but it shoots out an SQL error. I've tried deactivating the Google gateway and deleting my Google checkout info to troubleshoot it, but it just fills the info back in. The Google checkout button remains. I've posted this problem on support and also found others who have experienced similar problems.

I just need a REAL, RELIABLE shopping cart. What I'm doing with it isn't worth spending money on, at least not at this point and considering that it seems Zen Cart is pretty full-featured and will accomplish all I want to.

My questions for you:

1. Do you have a shopping cart feature on your Revolution site? Did you customize it to match your Revolution site? If so, what kind of time is involved? Could you share details with me if needed?

2. Do you think I really NEED to have the shop match the site? I've found a couple free templates that I could customize a little but I don't think I'm up for doing a full customization. I've played with it a bit.

Any opinions and feedback are appreciated because I'd really like to get this part of the site resolved once and for all! :)

Thanks!
