shopping carts

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on adding a shopping cart to a website I am working on...I have designed websites, just no shopping cart on them.....

There are tons of free shopping cart softwares, such as ZenCart, OSCommerce, etc.

thanks for your help.....I have tried using oscommerce, but never really looked the best...I now have a website that I have ready to be published for a guy, but not sure how to implement it into the site that I have....

If you do not know at least enough about PHP to customize a shopping cart to fit into the site you've created, you might want to just go ahead and bring in a third party consultant who does it for a living.

Personally what I would do is go through osCommerce (I'd change the theme though - I know it's kinda nasty looking) and utilize Google Checkout services for handling the payments. If this is over your experience level, it's probably best to contract this out.

What payment processor are you going to use? 2Checkout is what I have opted for, but now Ive found out they don't support some of the things I want to sell.

Im using X-Cart which I have found to be the best in any instance. Only thing is, I want to accept google checkout too, but X-cart doesnt seem to support it yet.
