2CO and Zen Cart

Does 2CO support Zen Cart?

I noticed a long list of compatible third party php shopping carts…but no Zen Cart.

How come?

The Zen Cart forums basically put it down to not playing nicely together.??

Is anyone currently using Zen Cart with 2CO? Have you had any issues?

Other than pointing me to the list of recommended third party php carts can anyone recommend (from experience) a good alternative to Zen Cart that is compatible with 2CO.

I’m looking for a cart that has:

- low (or nil) cost
- large developer community (or great tech support)
- 100% compatible with 2Checkout including international shipping and recurring products (subscriptions).
- able to be customised
- supports additional features such as Affiliate sign up, discount coupons, surveys, special offers etc.

Ultimately I don’t mind paying for the right solution, but once the setup and integration work has been done it just needs to very well with 2CO.

Any learnings from recent experience with other compatible carts would be most welcome!

cheers
Andrew

To be honest if had a few of the same thoughts as yourself and never really found an alternative.
But will keep an eye out to see if anyone else has any suggestions

We’re working on an in-depth cart database. We’ve been maintaining one internally for some time now and we’re examining ways to make this information publicly accessible.

There are a number of carts that almost meet our requirements, but for one reason or another are not quite ready to get an official seal of approval.

I believe ZenCart, because it’s osCommerce-based, can be configured to work with 2CO. Unfortunately, I don’t know what, if any, additional modules and configurations are required for ZenCart specifically.

Because recurring orders require using our Plug and Play parameter set, this will introduce a certain amount of difficulty in finding a third-party cart that meets your needs. Most third party carts use our custom parameter set, for the additional flexibility, but there are carts that do support 2CO recurrings. Unfortunately, I don’t believe ZenCart is one of those.

We’d love to hear from anyone with experience integrating ZenCart with 2Checkout.

I use Zen cart and am very happy with it. It is working great and has an amazing amount of add on’s and customizations. Zen cart has a 2checkout module and integrated very well with my present site. This was after a lot of agonizing over which cart to use, so hope this helps. Here is my store if you want to see a 2checkout site with a zen cart structure. Here is also the link for I-Piece the people who did the work for me (http://ipiece.com/), because most of the web designers I talked too just gave me a blank stare drooling when I asked if they could integrate Zen cart with 2checkout. I highly recommend these guys. They work quickly and have great communication and reasonable prices, and no I don’t get any kick backs for recommending them :)
