Lacking any fully ready Zope solutions, we've integrated Perl and PHP carts with Zope sites for several clients. Basically, use Zope the way you are for managing the content, and run behind apache. Then use SSL and a separate subdomain (easiest) for the actual cart software. The buttons to put materials in the cart can be located anywhere, like on your existing product pages in Zope. Then integrate the cart with your favorite payment gateway and away you go. We ran one of our clients for the past two years on just such a Zope site, with a Perl cart on a different server and subdomain (with a different hosting provider as well), and the actual credit card number entry and processing took place at the gateway provider. Worked well, and profitably for everyone. Or (cheapest and easiest) use the free PayPal cart. It works and integrates very simply. =Paul At 05:47 AM 10/28/2003, Toby Dickenson wrote:

I am looking to integrate an ecommerce facility into an existing mature zope application. Anyone have any tips?

Can you give a hint as to what you're looking for?
I was hoping for a solution for handling shopping carts, checkout processing, payment. A ready-made solution, so I dont have to think too much obout my requirements ;-)
Also, something open enough that I can integrate it with the existing site that has a product catalog, but no way to purchase online. (http://www.geminidataloggers.com/products/selector)
