Re: Free and easy shopping cart
should be, all other data would be held by paypal and sent to you once an order is received.
you can of course logon to paypal and retrieve this data any time you want.
depending on how many products you have will depend on whether you require a database backend.
for instance, if you only sell one type of product, then there is no need for a database as it is easier and less intensive to just add basic paypal buy now buttons, which then link through to paypal shopping cart. this is also useful if your products don't change i.e do not have options such as size colour etc. for instance, my friend has a website that has over 5000 products. however as each product has no options, he doesn't need a database, he just adds new products and paypal button as they become available (he sells collectable spoons). he uses the same technique for his sunglasses business.
on the other hand if you are selling somthing like t-shirts, then you need to take into consideration things like size / colour / type / gender etc. as such a database backend would be most useful.
