MerchandiseVend (Shopping Cart Software)
MerchandiseVend is a collection of AJAX compatible ASP.NET 2.0 server controls aimed at musicians which provide
shopping cart facilities for selling merchandise (CD's, T-Shirts etc.) via any
ASP.NET 2.0 web site. The controls have been produced to keep the amount
of user code down to an absolute minimum. In fact in most cases only a few
properties need to be set in order to use the controls. The full workflow
of presenting merchandise for sale is catered for from uploading image files
to a web server to reviewing details of orders placed. Payment processing
is carried out via PayPal (utilising Instant Payment Notification) and as
such a PayPal account is required for receiving funds.
Below are examples of artists already using the MerchandiseVend controls on their websites:

and costs £40. No License is required
