That's a good question.

When we first looked into PHP, we searched to web for Shopping cart 
programs.  Also, most of the PHP books that I looked at (none of which were 
any really good as a learning tool - they were so long winded and boring) 
have shopping cart examples in them.  That was our start.

But to answer your question directly....you write your own :)

Make it however you want....totally cool!

You control everything!

These carts are NOT as full featured as Minivend, but if you think of 
something you want, you just write it.  Also, there are a lot of 
pre-written functions, modules, etc on the web for certain features you may 
want (Like CC Validation).

Thanks
