Most Internet Marketers rely on PayPal or Clickbank to handle the payment side of their sales. This works pretty well when you are just expecting to sell one product, but you will need a shopping cart if you want your customers to buy several products at a time. In the early days of the web it was usually necessary to develop your own software, but now  it it is easier to use a third party provider such as  Ashop who provide feature rich ecommerce shopping cart software.
