We hope to add commerce to TikiPro in the near future, but definite plans have not been set in stone yet. for now, here are some possible webapps:

Open-source, php options:
^[http://www.oscommerce.com]
world class installer. up and running in seconds. mysql only. Many root execed files, and *all* have <html><head>... makes for very difficult theme and placing in a center column. - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://www.phpshop.org]
installed very easily. not bad looking. mysql only. under the covers there is a lot of mixed SQL and HTML output. Everything filters through a single index.php file, so output buffer capture is probably quite possible. Some concerning schema design choices like: category_id varchar(32) - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://www.fishcart.org]
I wrestled this installer for over and hour and finally gave up There demo looks decent, but nothing fancy. The unbearably complicated installer was ridiculous and I never got it working. - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^

I installed this finally as well from the version wolffy shoved into tikipro's cvs. This is a "EzyBiz is a business sales chain management web application for sole traders to medium business, it is based on ossuite with many customisations." and is not really a general purpose cart. Also seems mysql only at the moment - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^

(:razz:) Looks like we have a winner! postgres & mysql. decent templating. great installer. very nice package!!! - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^
^[http://www.affero.org/]
PHP , PostgreSQL , and Smarty - seems to be combo of commerce and karma. could be very cool, however, the download seemed to have no installer? - - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^

Quick Cart, based on flat files (:eek:) - spiderr 14-DEC-2004^

[http://www.x-cart.com/] $185 - Smarty!, php, mysql only
[http://www.jshop.co.uk/] php, mysql only
