    Datalogica's Shopping Cart - Revolutionary CGI Shopping Cart Solutions

  • FREE OR PAID VERSION
  • The free CGI shopping cart system or the paid version. What's the difference?
    Basically, both versions are identical, so there is no difference in functionality. You can add thousands of products, delete, copy, easily manage customers and orders. But in the free version three files are encrypted and does not give you access to the "source code" of my CGI shopping cart script.

    I recommend you to download the free version, install it, use and view it on your server and personal domain. So you can see how the script works.

    If you ever (in the future) prefer the paid version, everything will remain the same. Just upload (and overwrite) three files, admin.cgi, cart.cgi and review.cgi. Nothing will be changed on your online CGI shopping cart, but you will have access to the "source code" and you can even change the layout of the emails sent to your clients and shopping cart table color layout.

  • DOCUMENTATION HELP
  • I advise all my customers (and free users) to read this documentation.
    The documentation has been written through a logical, organized way to get you started and to help you with your CGI shopping cart. If you will install the script by yourself, please read more than the installation section before you begin.

    I have made the installation process as easy as possible, but it never hurts to be prepared!
