Hosting Shopping Cart

[Depeche]

Anyone know a good hosting/shopping cart? WITHOUT a pre-made template.

Why is it that just when I start a topic no one posts.

I suppose I could post to the thread only to say no, I don't know of one ... but I'm not sure what that would accomplish ...

My question is, is it possible to have a shopping cart without a pre-made template? And then the obvious, why would you want one if they indeed exist?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Don't all shopping carts have pre-made templates?

I made my own template/website and I just want to add the shopping cart there and blend in with the one I made.

I am afraid that any shopping cart you get, unless you make it yourself, is going to come with a template structure and a pre-made template.

The good news is that the better carts will allow you to change the template. Most probably by uploading a template that someone else has made.

The reason for this is any system like this, whether it be a CMS, shopping cart, blog software, etc, is going to have the ability for developers to create addons to it, modifications, templates, components, that increase the functionality of the base system installed. To do this, the creators of the base system also create a sort of API structure that has to be applied to anything that is intended to work with it.

All that to say, I think you are going to have to settle on a shopping cart you like, get the API code documentation for that program and redo your template to fit into the code of the base system.

Probably not what you wanted to hear ....

Actually it is what I wanted to here. I already decided to make my own. It's not that hard. Thanks for the help.
