I hope I’m not completely off-base here but is there a shop plugin for  
ruby/rails that means I don’t have to write the code for a shop from  
scratch? Can’t seem to find one…

Thanks!  
Bex

HI Bex,

if a shop could be build by using a plugin, there weren’t so much  
webdeveloper on earth 😉

There are a few shops on Rails:

- [www.shopify.com](http://www.shopify.com) is a hosted service
- 

[http://www.busyashell.com/blog/articles/2006/06/19/ruby-on-rails-open-source-shopping-cart](http://www.busyashell.com/blog/articles/2006/06/19/ruby-on-rails-open-source-shopping-cart)  
there will be a shop in open source soon

- store.rb: [http://trac.vaillant.ca/store.rb/wiki](http://trac.vaillant.ca/store.rb/wiki)
- RightCart is a shopping-cart you can include in your own website  
([http://rightcart.com](http://rightcart.com))
- [http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct](http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct) also an open source shop

HTH,  
Beate
