About phpShop

What is phpShop?

phpShop is a PHP-powered shopping cart application. It is released under the GNU General Public License. The primary purpose of phpShop is to provide a simple shopping cart solution that is easy to customize to suit any purpose. phpShop has less features that many other shopping cart applications but it gets the job done efficiently.

System Requirements

phpShop is written in PHP and therefore requires the PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. phpShop also requires a database such as mySQL; phpShop is written using CakePHP.

Why phpShop?

The original developers of phpShop needed to build a shopping cart web site. After a little poking around they found that many existing open source solutions were either too primitive or too complicated to learn because they had some many features. What the developers really needed was a shopping cart that:

• was easy to use.
• had a structure that was easy to understand.
• was based on a programming language that was easy to learn.
• was easy to install and manage.

phpShop is based on CakePHP.
