Hi
I am looking for a simple shopping cart to handle non property rentals. It does not have to check for availability of the item, just allow for selection of the hire period (1-5 days) via a dropdown box and have a calendar from which the user selects the starting day. It should then of course be able to look up the price of the rental for that item and period and display it to the user. As it does not have to be database driven the details can be stored in a session cookie which are then read and displayed by the checkout page. Although it would be nice to be able to at some point integrate it with a payment solution such as World Pay etc, at this stage it is not neccessary as payments will be handled offline. At this stage all it needs to be able to do is pass the output to a form handler (which I already have) under SSL.

While free is always nice, I don't mind paying for this (within reason) so long as I get what I want.

Any ideas anyone?

Overall what you are asking for seems relatively straight forward. I would recommend a database though unless you plan on making each page static html and just have a "checkout" involved.

There are several ways to do this. The presentation piece is probably fairly simple, however, the admin or entry and maintenance pages and forms carry a little bit of overhead. People usually forget this aspect.

Send me a PM on the forum if you want to discuss some possibilities.
