Are you interested in adding a shopping cart to your website? If so, you will need to consider what type of e-commerce transactions you will ultimately require. This is important because commerce in the real world occurs in many forms. You may think that you only need to sell and ship goods, but there are other considerations. For example, you may also need to sell gifts which means you may be shipping to multiple addresses per order. If you sell any perishable goods, they must arrive within a certain time-frame and travel a limited distance. If you manage drop-shipments for your suppliers, you need to automatically notify your suppliers. If you collect payments for virtual (intangible) items such as downloadable e-books, software, music, or subscription-based access to areas of your website, or even collect donations or recurring charges for ongoing services or fund-raising campaigns, then you don't need to collect shipping information from your customers. You may simply need to offer a convenient way for your clients to apply a payment to their account, or members to pay their dues. Whatever form your e-commerce takes, you need a solution that is flexible enough to keep up with your changing needs and provide "real-world" e-commerce.
