Hello All,

I am evaluating Shopping carts, and would like to hear from users that have integrated their site with MOM.
I am mostly interested in Carts that do not currently have MOM integration as an option.

I am leaning toward PHP/Mysql.

My initial observation is that most of the available carts have great features until you look into the back end and order status.
Overall I believe it would be much easier to take one of these carts and add a couple of tables to the database along with some scripting to pull up order status, rather than take a cart that is setup for MOM and attempt to change the front end.

Doing a quick test, I opened a copy of our MOM database in MS Access, Linked the box and boxcont tables and extracted it to a text file.
This worked fine, I will just need to hunt down the additional tables needed. Help here would be much appreciated.

If you have done something like this, or have any thoughts/suggestions, I would love to hear from you.



Thanks!

I wrote a complete ecommerce system for http://broncograveyard.com and at that time a few years ago I felt like I was the only one brave enough to do this. I looked high and low for options and people who had done the same thing but didn't really find anything. (This is why I created MOM FAQ, not to sell my stuff but to get lots of MOM users together in one place)

Anyway, it took me a few months but I finally produced a sweet system that doubled their online sales. The only problem we have is that you have to pay Dydacomp for the Sitelink module to get the mom menues for creating the inventory order status tables and having the sitelink features in the item edit part. Kinda nice how they corner their own market that way for Sitelink.

There are some neat little scripts I came up with like on that takes the uploaded sitelink databases and converts them to MySQL. You can find this tool dbf2mysql already complied for linux in the downloads section (you can also get to it from the link in the upper right hand corner)...
