My clients wanted to avoid having to spend a bunch of money in order to sell their products online.

But now, some of my clients are requesting more advanced options that PayPal doesn't offer. For example...More shipping options and inventory control. And most of the products that my clients sell need to have multiple options (color, size, scent, etc.). PayPal allows these options but the limit is 2 different options. I have done so much research and read about tons of different carts. Zen Cart, Volusion, King Cart, Oscommerce...and the list could go on and on. I thought Oscommerce was a great option but I want more freedom when it comes to the look of the site. I know it's possible to change the look but that is WAY over my head.

Ideally this is what I would like....the freedom to design the site how I want and then add the code (add to cart button) directly to my existing site. Is there such a cart that has a control panel that will manage all the products but will allow me to just plug in the code on my site where it's needed?

I really want to offer my clients a great ecommerce solution but I am CLUELESS on what cart to use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
