I am still in the learning process with Alpha v11 (from my experience so far that seems likely to be a lifelong state!!) ....
I need to add ecommerce to the app I am developing. It needs to be very much editable and (relatively) easy to manipulate and add to.
I can't find anything about ecommerce or shopping carts that has been posted in the past year, so am hopeful for advice here now. Would appreciate learning from anyone who has developed an ecommerce app what they did to include the cart side of it. That is, did they write it all themselves (whew - that would be a big job), or did they purchase a cart and integrate it with A5, or are they using a hosted ecommerce solution. Any ideas will be of value including bad experiences as I want to make an informed decision and go through as little pain as possible in the process.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel and hope I can learn from other peoples experiences.
Frankly, I would have expected in that A5 has been around so long, there would be several cart options available. The only two I can see discussed are Steve Woods shopping cart (I would be keen to purchase this but am aware this may be yet some time off) and A5JaxCart which I don't believe is still available(???)
Actually, I am really surprised at the lack of discussion about this subject given that a large number of apps would use ecommerce of some sort. Seems to me there would be an opportunity there for someone??
I do hope this post will get the result I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for all comments.
