Max Shop Cart is a shopping cart which can be used for purchasing "physical" products or downloadable items. It was originally constructed because the Paypal shopping cart has no facility for purchasing downloadable items.

Max Shop Cart is a full-featured shopping cart with a Shipping Configuration section where you can set the shipping charges for all items purchased. Descriptions of products are entered into a database and assigned a Product ID. The actual Add to Cart buttons (or links) simply pass the Product ID to the cart, which gets all the product information from the products database.

An Order History is also maintained for every purchase; thus, you have a way to review what was puchased and when and by who.

Let's look at the details of how to install the system. If you have had someone else install the system for you, and all you want to do is start adding products and setting up Add to Cart buttons on your website pages, then you can skip right to Starting the Max Shop Cart System.
