Jam Try www.oscommerce.com (http://www.oscommerce.com) - it's not templated, but it works fine! :) And you can tied it in with most major pay systems.

You can check out my store here: http://store.icomix.com.

May I ask who you use as a payment processor?

[anjam]

About the templates -- X-cart uses Smarty templates (http://smarty.php.net). The system takes a little while to learn, but it works pretty well. One thing Smarty's got over the current vB template system is conditional templates, meaning you can do this:

{if CONDITION}
Do some stuff!
{elseif ANOTHER_CONDITION}
Do some other stuff!
{else}
Do the other other thing!
{/if}

So that's pretty cool.

Anyway, if you're used to vB, you might be a little frustrated with X-cart at first, because it isn't as slick in some ways, but it's a good system with a lot of features.

I tried smarty templates very very briefly, but I'm a bit spoiled by how vB's system worked, so I just coded my own. But the cart looks very very nice...

And nothing wrong with PayPal! Does your cart integrate with it as part of the standard installation?

I'm sure I'll effuse with joy over the new vB -- that is, when it is released.
