Multiple purchase items and integrated shopping cart?

Apparently, this is driven by hand-coded software

Could something similar be built in TXP?
It seems to me, my own site has about 80% of the functionality of that site, where the difference is he has multiple e commerce/purchase options for each item/photograph, and it links to an integrated shopping cart instead of Paypal.

Anyone got ideas on how that could be built?

(Edit: updated thread subject to something a little more clear. -Mary)

@james, I haven’s seen a shopping cart integration. It also doesn’t use cookies to remember the customers Lightbox preferences, the next time you would visit the site, it doesn’t know what is in the light box.
It gives you an option, to send your lightbox selections to yourself, and uses a Server Side script to calculate the prices, based on the offered License model choosen.

I couldn’t think though, that building the whole thing, (with all the functionality) would be something easy.

regards, marios

Re: Multiple purchase items and integrated shopping cart?

Going the Paypal route is certainly the easiest way of doing it in TxP and I have seen and even built such things a couple of times. A basic search will give you plenty of food for thought.
