Finally Done with Crafty Cart for Blogger

Tuesday, September 28, 2010 by Admin · 2 comments

March last year i was playing around with Crafty Cart – a free theme for WordPress e-Commerce store created by Billion Studio especially for King Cart.

I Started porting it to blogger around summer last year but wasn't able to finish it due to tons of work in the office. Also i later found out the somebody already ported it to blogger. You can checkout Beta Templates blogger version of Crafty Cart here.

Couple of weeks ago experimented with Dot.Tk free DNS service. Using Dot.Tk's free DNS i was able to use Blogger's custom domain and create an online store. You can checkout my experiment by going to www.FlowersPhilippines.tk  and this inspired me to finish Crafty Cart. Unlike Beta Templates version mine is a fully functioning online store powered by Blogger.com. Currently the checkout process is handle by Paypal but i will try to integrate Payvments shopping cart in the coming weeks to handle both Paypal and Google Checkout. You can go to FlowersPhilippines.tk to see Payvment in action.

Without further adieu... Here is my version of Crafty Cart for Blogger by 1ijack

I feel like keeping this one for myself hehehe or maybe not! :)

My next project is wpStore. Hopefully it won't take me another year to finish this.
