simpleCart(js), a very simple but smart shopping cart that was shared on WRD, now has a new version with more features.
The application is an upload & use shopping cart where no database is required and can be integrated into any website so easily.
It works by including a JavaScript file into the webpages and usage of special classes. As an example:
<div class="simpleCart_items"></div>
will display the full cart, no other code needed.
With the V2, it supports both PayPal + Google Checkout as the payment providers & multiple currencies/tax rates can be used.
Tutorialzine is sharing a beautiful tutorial (with source) on creating an Ajaxed drag’n drop shopping cart with jQuery & PHP.
It uses MySQL for storing the data & simpleTip plugin for displaying information about the products with style.
It takes advantage of the jQuery UI’s draggable & droppable behaviours to accomplish the flawless experience.
The shopping cart is not a ready-to-go one for an e-commerce website but it is a nice base for creating one by improving the features.
