The starting point for this directory is a couple of posts that a BuildaSkill member added to our forums.

The sites and softwares listed here are for ecommerce enabling your website and include -

• Site building scripts to build a full webstore with shopping cart & payment service bridges (e.g. osCommerce, Zen Cart etc).
• Shopping Cart bridges whereby the bridge acts as the checkout between your site and the selected payment services you have accounts with - this works well and is very quick to implement for sites with just a few products.  Mal’s is probably one of the fastest & most flexible in this category.

If you know of any other ecommerce site software, or shopping carts/bridges that you think we should include, please add details in the ecommerce website building board in our forums.
