In The Forums: CartThrob Is Looking For Beta Testers [Pro Network]
CartThrob, a new shopping cart add-on for EE, is looking for beta testers. I know many of you have been looking for a truly great integrated shopping cart solution. Here’s the description:
CartThrob is truly integrated with ExpressionEngine, extremely flexible, and offers full integration with payment gateway systems (including Authorize.net, and Paypal Website Payments Pro.) We’ve been using it on production sites for over 6 months now, and the front-end cart portion of the software is very stable. However, we’re in the process of simplifying the backend setup & installation, refining features and functionality, and finishing the documentation, so we still consider it beta and we’re looking for feedback and real world usage.
You can find information on how to join the beta in the forums.
UPDATE: Thanks to Erik for letting me know that this is Pro Network only invite. My apologies to those of you unable to sign up through the forums, but you can submit your application here

There is a nice description of the project. Looks like a great addition to the EE toolbox for e-commerce.

By the way, I just wanted to point out that CartThrob is not a recurrent subscription management solution (yet). We’ve had a lot of people contact us about using CartThrob to manage recurrent subscriptions, and it just doesn’t do that.
To maintain PCI compliance CartThrob currently doesn’t store credit cards, but we’ll be making an update to the software soon so that subscriptions can be handled.
