Shopping Cart - I need one for my website

It is obvious, that if I need to sell things from my website, that I need a shopping cart. The shopping cart I need for my website needs to handle digital content, and deliver them to the customer in an instant manner. I am not interested in emailing them myself, at a time after the customer has purchased them. I would like the customer to be "instantly gratified" with an automatic download, upon successful completion of the transaction.

But how do I add a shopping cart to my website?

After some research, I think I will be using e-Junkie as my shopping cart. The reason is, that e-Junkie has no setup fees, no transaction fees, and no bandwidth fees, they are also compatible with Paypal, which I am huge fan of.

I would also like to host my digital content on the shopping carts web servers, just as a form of security. I am a little fearful of being "hacked" and having customer details and my content stolen. I would rather use a more secure server than what I would be using to host my site.

Note: I am assuming that the shopping cart site would have very high security. Hmm..maybe I shouldn't make this assumption.

Here are just some of e-Junkie's features, which I really like (you can find out more features on e-Junkies website):
  • No pop-ups! Works "inside" your own page.
  • No scripts to install! Just paste our simple HTML button code.
  • Supports discount/coupon codes.
  • Works on all browsers and on iPhone.
