Need to know how to best set up an e-store for a client

I am in the process of designing and programming a new site for a client who runs a print shop. He would like to have a store where regular clients could log in and view things they often purchase (i.e. a chicken wings store always orders cups, napkins, t-shirts, etc. that have a fixed price). My client would like his customers to be able to purchase these goods right through the site. I am not experienced with setting up the e-commerce part of the site (PHP, PERL, ASP are not familiar to me). I see many possibilities available after performing a search, but am unsure of which of these services are my best bet (bCentral, Storefront.com, X-Cart, OS Commerce, etc.). It is a necessity that I can use the design from the rest of the site for the store (or very similar). I also need to be somewhat knowledgeable about the service offered so I can pass that information to my client. Any suggestions on how I can do this best would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Christopher

If you have a template contribution like STS (Simple template System) you can quickly customize your osCommerce shopping cart following the instructions here . You will also need to borrow elements from your current website stylesheet to that of osCommerce - stylesheet.css file. It's really quite easy.
