Hi,

Anyone know what shopping cart software these big online stores are
using? It looks like the same one, going just by the structure of the
URLs:

http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Home
http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/home
http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?
categoryId=26&storeId=1&catalogId=1
http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/IkeaNearYouView?storeId=12
&catalogId=10103&langId=-1&StoreName=homeshopping

Thanks.

Looks Java/SQL/Oracle based.

Why?

We'd like to find the vendor of this software and see if they have a
small-scale version of the same for price comparison with other shopping
cart software.

It appears to be very popular with big e-commerce sites, but none of
them credit the vendor.

In most cases large retailers use custom open source code tailored to
the customers specific need. Other use 3rd party providers and cloak or
re-brand the providers URL for a fee.

As far as off the shelf goes I have heard good things about zeno cart
and yup asp cart.

But it is always best to have a custom solution that belongs to you. We
custom code for even our smallest ecommerce sites. That way if
something breaks or a new browser release causes compatibility problems
we can fix things quickly because it is (our) code.
