There are many types of shopping carts that range in price, scale, and features. Some carts are free initially and charge a monthly fee and/or a transaction fee, whereas some carts are purchased at a fixed fee for a license to use, and many carts may be purchased as a type of off the shelf solution that may or may not be modified to your specific needs. These carts range anywhere between free for some open source solutions to hundreds of thousands of dollars for cross-channel integrated typed. Because retailers' needs are varied, the software solutions are varied as well. Not all retailers will need all the bells and whistles that go along with the more expensive price tags, which are mostly dependent on the quantities of inventory, and the volume of sales.
