designing shopping cart using asp

Can someone help me with designinga shopping cart using ASP?

I have gotten a new site almost complete but have never designed a shopping cart.

Thanks,
Stephen

its a fairly involved process so alot of people use pre-made shopping carts.... why reinvent the wheel?!?!?!

have a look at the list here (starting with all the free ones):

and my personal favorite:

Good luck

Ok, I don't know a great deal about ASP, but I can tell you that teaching something like this over the internet will be quite a challenge for even the most seasoned ASP coder! You will need to learn about sessions (cookies) and/or the dictionary object as they are the cornerstone of virtually every shopping cart out there.

This is going to take alot of patience!
There is a free script here:

which is well documented and includes the basics you will need to know and is well documented.

This link about session variables could also help:

I am sure my ASP coding friends will be able to give you better advice and recommend better sites, scripts and possibly books.

Or you could just follow Smokie's advice and ignore me :razz: I would...!

Perhaps the best shopping cart you will ever see is here:-

www.cactushop.com

I know these guys very well and they are totally 100% commited to this product... you get regular free upgrades in the first year and the product totally kicks ass.

Check it out.

Nice. Very nice gentlemen. Jeesh....

smokie i would love to use that cart from red eye to sell more or less the same thing. But mine is going to have a radio station built into it. Secoundly with regards to this shopping cart, if im using access to save my product info and i want to display and sound file or image from an ole object in access how would i do this on the asp page cause have tried standaerd results field and come up with a load of **** like ---< %$09% >--- which means sod all to me. I just to make some money quick befoe i go bank rupt as there is no web design work any more and im quilifed sql dba and can't find any work there.
