[I sent this yesterday but I don't think it got on the list]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post to the list. I have been lurking for a while now and
have gained so many good tips-thanks. I looked through the archives and
could not find the answer to my question...I am looking at putting a
shopping cart into a client's web site. The shopping cart must be
accessible. Has anyone seen a accessible shopping cart on the web? Either
one that a company has already done (one that I can look at) or a script to
download or purchase?

Thanks for your help.

Lisa

Hi!

I believe the shopping cart on our site is accessible. (I suspect that
if it's not, I'm about to find out...no, seriously, I'm told our IT
person was pretty careful). You can find it at
http://www.adaptiveenvironments.org/store/index.php.

Adaptive Technology Consulting (http://www.adaptivetech.net) uses Americart
(http://www.cartserver.com/americart/). I looked over ATC's use of e-commerce
and talked to their programmer about it a year or so ago. It was not a
thorough review or anything, but a little more than a cursory look. It looked
like a few tweaks were needed on the programming end to meet some standards (I
was probably looking for Section 508 and/or WAI Priority 1 standards), but I
don't recall any major problems. This was a while back though.

Hi Lisa... ;)

Have you looked at CartWeaver? The only reason I mention it (not researched
this myself) is that I was talking to one of the developers last night who
was telling me it could be used in CSS-p pages... That sounded kinda hopeful
to me... ;) I think you can find it over at http://www.dwfaq.com (but I'll
look it up if you like)...

Hi Carol,

Thanks for the tip. The server we use has Americart so this is one I will
definitely look at to see if it can work.

Cheers

Hi Stephanie,

Good to see you again ;) I hadn't come across them. I found the one you
were talking about and it looks interesting-thanks.

Cheers
