I would agree with "craft your own" but I do think you are simplifying
things a little bit by saying "slam it against the credit card processor"?

This is "kind" of a large and quite complicated part of the web application
process "Trust me"!!!

If you are using .Net then it makes no difference having an i Involved
(except for the down time)

Our experience has been that external shopping carts tend to be more
trouble than their worth, as they have been designed with 1000s of options
and preferences to allow you to tweak just about everything under the sun.
At the end of the day this isn't a complicated process,

1) Identify the "owner" of the cart, could be a session, a machine, a user,
etc.
2) Add items to cart incl. any key you need (item # if you will),
description, price, qty etc (should be old hat for any i programmer)
3) summarize cart total and slam against credit card processor.

Of course there will be 100s of small differences you need, but it's often
easier to tweak your code than it is to modify all the settings in a generic
"shopping cart", especially if the back end is an i as I don't know of many
(any) standard packages w/an i backing store.
