Welcome!
What is ObjectCart?
ObjectCart is an e-commerce engine written in PHP5. The object-oriented code handles all the functions of an e-commerce store giving the developer all the
functionality of a full web store without restraining the creativity and flexibility of the site. ObjectCart is intended for developers of
e-commerce packages (like osCommerce) that want to create new and creative store fronts, but do not want to reinvent/retro-fit the wheel each time.
Using an extensible plug-in architecture ObjectCart allows for easy third party extension of the system. Although ObjectCart has no GUI, with it's easy
APIs it's aim is to give high-level access to all e-commerce functions.
What ObjectCart is not.
ObjectCart is not a turnkey e-commerce solution. It is just a piece(albeit large piece) of a larger puzzle. ObjectCart has no GUI.
Its definately not plug-n-play. If you are looking for a full, plug-n-play e-commerce solution try osCommerce
How does it work?
ObjectCart's basic functionality is the common core components of an e-commerce system: Catalog, Cart, Customer, Checkout, Shipping, and this list will grow
as more features are needed. ObjectCart builds all this functionality into a set of PHP5 objects that can be used to build e-commerce into your project.
Who uses ObjectCart?
Those who use ObjectCart are going to be primarily developers, and particularly e-commerce solution developers, as well as developers who want to incorporate
e-commerce functionality into their existing website and developers who want a web store that is not 'boxy' and generic like most complete solutions.
