Open Source Shopping Cart / Checkout System Like FoxyCart

I'm looking for an open-source shopping cart check-out system like FoxyCart. The idea here is that I'm looking for a shopping cart and checkout only and NOT a shopping cart with a CMS. I have my own CMS that I love and I don't want my products managed by my shopping cart.
I'm open to any programming language.
Thanks.
As of now there isn't any stand-alone Cart + Checkout Open Source system that solves the requirements that FoxyCart does.
You will have to find a work around existing e-commerce platforms or DIY.
Whilst not open source Moltin might be worth looking into, you can use whichever components you need. It will require some extra work integrating with your CMS and frontend however.

Explanation of shopping carts and webshops

I posted a question here concerning creating a shopping cart. It seems maybe I am misusing the phrase "shopping cart" or maybe the people that answered didn't understand the post well.
I understand that open source software like "Magento, OpenCart, Prestashop etc.." are called shopping carts.
I also understand that paid hosting services like "Shopify, BigCommerce, 3dCart etc.." are also called shopping carts. Am I wrong?
Both the open source and the paid hosting services gives you the admin panel that you use to create your own shopping site.
I also understand that "Yii, CakePHP, Symphony, Zend etc.." are frameworks for creating whatever you want.
Is there a difference between "shopping carts" and "web shops". For me I see them as the same.
A shopping cart is a module of a web shop used for holding items waiting to be ordered in a place where the user can keep track of them.
A web shop is Amazon, ebuyer, or some other shopping site.
Magento is actually classed as eCommerce software which is umbrella term for what you're looking at.
I think you answered your own question: "...hosting services like "Shopify, BigCommerce, 3dCart etc..". These are services that offer a shopping cart. And Webshops are pretty much an implementation of shopping carts. Your whole onlnine store is the webshop, and the mechanism to choose products and purchase them is the shopping cart of that. The likes of "Magento, OpenCart, Prestashop" are eCommerce typically packages that include a shopping Cart that you would use as part of your "webstore". The whole eCommerce solution also includes things like order reports, customer reports, administrative features, etc.

Need a wordpress shopping cart plugin for the following requirements in addition to the basic shop features. Any good suggestion?

I have a Wordpress site which need to be integrated with a shopping cart. The administrator dashboard should have all the below features in addition to the basic shop features. Please let me know your suggestions.
The ability to print out orders daily for fulfillment
Printing packing slips in batches
Updating order status in batches
Export shipping addresses
Reporting on repeat customers and sales statistics by product, size and color.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried one of the many shopping cart plugins? You might want to use one of them as a baseline and then get a good WordPress developer to enhance it with your requirements.
As an example, you might want to evaluate some of the plugins mentioned at

Magento tier price round off

I'm using Magento 1.4.1.1
I set up a tier price in admin panel and its working well.
The problem is in the shopping cart, it displays only 2 decimal places.
Example:
In my backend I set up a tier price 0.211 but when I check it in the shopping cart, it displays 0.21. By that, it creates a computation problem.
Like when the price is 0.210 and I ordered 250pcs the answer is 52.50,
Unlike when the price is 0.211 and I ordered 250pcs the answer is 52.75.
So there is a computation difference.
I want that the price in the shopping cart to be the same on the tier price that I set up.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks and Have a Good Day! :)
to answer your question: yes you can, but you have to change the code on many different files in magento, here you'll find more answers: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/16337/ Don't forget to keep your magento system update proof!

Adding item to cart via API with CS-Cart

I am building a web application which allows visitors of a site to custom-build a product, and then add that custom-built item to their shopping cart in order to purchase it. For instance, I might build a car with the following customizations:
Alloy wheels
Leather seats
Red
I've searched around looking for a solution to my problem, but have yet to come across anything very helpful. I am using CS-Cart as my shopping cart solution.
What I need to know is how I might programmatically add this custom-built item to a user's shopping cart. Does CS-Cart provide an API for doing something like this? If not, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might achieve my goal? I basically just need to add a generic "custom build" item to the user's cart with the customizations they made somehow attached to this item.
I've been taking a look at CS-Cart and this question came up.
From reading through the CS-Cart API documentation, it looks like CS-Cart's API is more of a plugin framework than an actual web service. In other words, I believe you can write code to modify CS-Cart (or programmatically update shopping cart items) but this code needs to be written as a plugin into CS-Cart rather than simply as an API call from your third-party webapp.
So I think you have two solutions:
Build a CS-Cart plugin which has a mini-API to take your custom item from your webapp and add it into the shopping cart through CS-Cart
If you literally just need to add the item into the shopping cart, and your webapp and CS-Cart are on the same server, you may be able to skirt around CS-Cart and get your webapp to literally just add the item into CS-Cart's shopping cart PHP session
I hope this helps - I'm not mega-familiar with CS-Cart so if there are any factual errors in this I apologise.
