    So I'm in the process of setting up a small drop shipping site as I'm not up to much at the moment and It will keep me busy :)

    What shopping cart would people recommend, I'm looking for the following:

    Not wordpress
    XML Import
    Free is possible

    It will be hosted on a UNIX server so prob will need to be php

    Anything else I should be thinking about

    Thanks

    Omega

    I just started using opencart. If free and open source so if you're into web development or design you can change it around.

    I use a Export/Import extension that allows me to use XLS files for the catalog.

    Prestashop might be a good option also Joomla/Virtuemart with CSV improved plugin works beautifully for huge database imports.

    Here are some stores that we have created in Magento.

    Magento is open source, You could also consider Magento Go

    I'm also on the lookout for an ecommerce setup and was considering the premium product from register365

    http://www.register365.com/ecommerce-compare.html

    Anyone use these products before? Is there anything else I should be considering that isn't mentioned?

    I was originally considering the Joomla root but this seems to have most of the work done. I have hosting with my current work with them and have found their support good when needed. I'm a bit of a noob with the ecommerce side.
