I am building a site using code igniter. I am developing a custom product catalog using php and mysql.
What is the best way to go about making those products purchaseable online. I thought about writing my own cart, but I am a little worried about how much time that would take.
Most carts I come across online are full fledge inventory systems carts / a whole web site basically. I want to be able to really have full control.
What do you think my better options are? Any advise is welcome!
Don’t be afraid of building your own. A shopping cart is a solved problem and there are many, many examples on the net. Just define your requirements carefully before you start: do items in the cart persist between sessions? What happens when an item in cart is no longer available for sale, etc.
