Title: Best choice for shopping cart
Post by: MaxSan on January 30, 2012, 12:28:02 PM
I have been browsing about for bitcoin plugins for the shopping carts that exist.

Can anyone with any experience suggest the most fully featured out of them? ease of use? that srt of thing? I dont fancy having having to install and remove ones im not impressed with multiple times.

Any knowledge of any will do I would just appreciate to hear opinions.

Bit-Pay.com has a shopping cart.  It also integrates as a payment gateway with several of the more popular shopping carts (opencart, zencart, magento, whmcs).

all shopping carts allow you to do that.
the choice should depend on the size of your business, and on whether you can live with a shopping cart that accepts only bitcoins or not.

if you are a small shop with a small amount of listed products, and you do not need to propose other forms of payments than Bitcoin, then bitcoinevolution is good for you.
if you have a large inventory, and if you want to propose Bitcoin among other payment options, then you might want to go for bitpay, or another cart that can be integrated with existing software.

It's not really a cart. But you can easily use bitping.net to accept payment on your site.

You generate a bunch of addresses and add them to your account on BPN.
BPN will send you an email or do a POST with the transaction info on the URL of your choice when a payment is receive on one of the address that you manage.
You can choose the number of confirmation needed before they send you the confirmation.

We have merchants all over the world.  We offer payout in either bitcoin or USD (we even have a couple merchants that we payout in EUR, but this is not yet officially offered or fully automated).  It's only if you want USD payout that you need to have a US bank account.
