I am creating a website that will sell items. I don't need a full e-commerce solution. I am retrieving the items from an external database and rendering them on my pages with razor. What I need is a simple shopping cart that I can use to add/update/delete products, give the user the option to checkout, view cart, update cart, etc (pretty much what you can do with your standard shopping cart.
Are there any packages that would be good for this? or is it better to just build the functionality on my own. If on my own, are there any session numbers or things I should keep in mind?
Although I cannot personally vouch for them, both
TeaCommerce - https://teacommerce.net/
and
Merchello - http://merchello.com/
Came up in my search results when researching an applicable solution for a forthcoming project.
Both of them seem to be widely used but in my case I had some specific requirements so I will be building mine from scratch. Their are a few MVC Shopping Basket Tutorials out there that will give you a head start, but if you're not keen on delving into too much code, I'd recommend sticking to one of the above packages. Especially if you're looking to take online payment.
Sure, Tea can work just like that. No requirement for content in Umbraco as far as I know. But you'll have to do some development to get it all wired in, its the easiest one we've used (yet still powerful).
I saw this, I just wasn't sure how reliable it was. Basically, I only need cart and payment capabilities. I am retrieving my products from an external source and using virtual nodes and a custom route to navigate to a single product page. On that page, there will be add to cart links, view cart, etc. Does this sound like something I should use a package for or custom?
Shopping cart only package for Umbraco 7?

+1 for Tea Commerce if you are a developer, gives you loads of goodies.
uWebShop might be a better fit for an out the box experience too.

Hi Peter,
If I don't need to store products in Umbraco, can I just use the shopping cart portion of these?

Hi Saied,
Perhaps it´s something like the package Simplest store you are look for

Hope this helps,
