Hey krishm666 thanks for your comment. If you want a touch like that then you need to look into those huge os commerce sites and they can get really confusing. I have been looking for a week or so for a real basic cms option that has a touch like this, so far they are not that simple that a customer would be able to add information. If i find anything i will let you know
Ali
@1stoptutorials Dear Ali. So, maybe you know similar script which could be stored on own server?? Some Open Source solution maybe?? I’ve been trying to find it for last 2 days but no luck. looks like it’s some kind of secret knowledge
found few nice open source carts but they all including full eCommerce system, but I need only simple, nice cart to be used with paypal.
best regards
Hey krishm666, thanks for your comment. They are not asinine questions in fact they are excellent questions. Using third party carts or images or things like that can always cause you a problem. The code i would say is safe, because all the code does is act a redirect to your paypal, it has no access to your password or any other information except your email address. Just reflect of it as a post office, all they are doing is collecting your customers letters and sending them to you.

Hi Ali,
thanks
Thanks for video. It’s fantastic and that’s solution I was looking for. But I’ve got few concerns… as all code is hosted by fatfree, is it safe to use?? Some checkout details are sending to not secured servers… is it safe??
also what if for some reason their server will stop working?? all websites based on their solution will stop as well (!!)
sorry for asinine questions but I’m only beginner
Hey magicpurple101, thanks for your comment. Not that i know of because it is hosted with fatfree and there is no access to the code. Thanks
Ali
is there anyway to modify the “pop-up” cart at the end?
Hey jetfuelgirl, first off you are not a bother, this is what i do so feel free in asking any question. This shopping cart would not be able to do that but what you could look into is mals shopping cart, do a search for it on google. this might allow that type of feature you are looking for. Let me know how you get on
Ali
Dear Ali, I am building a personal website, and I was wondering if it is possible to have the cart just send a Email directly to me with the order details instead of using google checkout or paypal, my reason for this is, my shipping costs vary allot because I work with wholesale items, I was also wondering if they’re is any way for people to enter they’re customer information or is that the function of Paypal?, I am sorry to bother you, I would appreciate any help you give, Thanks so much!.

@1stoptutorials I had a look at that Cart and it was excellent but I’m sticking with the stout free it’s so simple and looks fantastic and works really well thank you for your help and keep up the excellent work it’s really simple to know your step by step processes.
Thanks Ali,
I will check it out..
It would be cool if you had only two or what ever quantity to just place in a number and the program said no more …..
But thank you again for the info and quick response!
Hey tgtshirts1, if you wanting a touch like that then i would suggest looking into a free shopping cart called mals this will have more of those features available
Ali
Sorry about the reposting

Thanks

How do I program the shopping cat to keep track of my inventory so I do not over sell?
Thanks
Dave
Suppose I only have 2 of the same item to sell>> how does the shopping cart know if all the items are sold out and I don’t have anymore to sell? Is there a way to program this feature in?
Thanks
Dave
Hey 10a01, thanks for your comment. In this shopping cart i don’t reflect that feature is available. What you might want to look into is a touch called mals shopping cart again this is anther freebie but has more options available. Let me know how you get on
Ali
Thank you so much for replying I know you must be busy, is there a way of setting a quantity limit with this code?
Hey 10a01, thanks for your comment. In that section that is not the quantity that you have, that is what quantity do you want the customer to start at, so for example if you set it to 5 that means every time someone clciks buy it now it will place 5 in the shopping cart. If i have set to 1 then i can add as many in the shopping cart as i like
Thanks
Ali
how come you where able to make a large Quantity when in your code you place the quantity as 1, will it stop you at some top and say for example: only one available?
Thanks very much I ve been trying to find sth like that for days.You are doing fantastic job!
I can’t thank you enough for this tutorial!!! Brilliant information and you presented it very visibly. Thank you again.
Hey dusterdave06, thanks for your comment. with this free cart option you are allowed three options, how many do you have at the moment. If you let me know i will try to help. Thanks
Ali
This is fantastic. These are just what I was looking for. One question. How do you add variables to your shopping cart?
Thanks! This was fantastic! All of these vids are just what I was looking for. I have one question. How do you add variable options?
