Open Source shopping cart Zen-Cart

I used a very good shopping cart before for my own website. This time I have to set up a shopping cart application very quickly for one of my clients. He needs shopping cart component and paypal payment component only. I could not hesitate a second to recommend Zen-cart.

I went to SourceForge.net and downloaded zen-cart 1.3.02, and found that I love it again. Its core code is in PHP/My SQL, very easy to set up and make it up and running. Best of all, it is free with all features I need.

The next step is to tweak it with the customized template. I will let you know soon.
