Hi, folks. I need to quickly produce a webfront for a retail store. Since time is a constraint, i figure I had better concentrate on the shopping cart for now, and worry about the CMS later. However, decisions made now are ones I'll be stuck with later so... can I get some opinions on shopping carts that will serve me both now and later?

The top features I need are:
- Work with Sam's Club merchant account
- Allow me to do good content management, either built-in or hacked-on later
- Import and export sections of inventory
- Make some categories of product be store-pickup only, others be shipping-only, and be others both
- Availability of some professional-looking, basic style templates
- Good security
- Customer's cart doesn't expire

For content management, I need some story categorization, some publishing of stories on the home page, and a good content editor front-end (i.e. WYSIWYG) for non-techies.

So far I'm looking at osCommerce, ZenCart, CRE Loaded, Cube Cart, and VirtueMart (a Joomla add-on). That's a lot to look through, and there are a lot more I could be looking at. Sheeze. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have used CubeCart for about 2 years and have had good luck with that cart system. osCommerce and ZenCart are pretty good carts.

I think CubeCart has a little more flexibility in reguards to being able to customize the store front and add back end content.
