KonaKart is a shopping cart application designed in Java that aims to provide the tools that every online store needs in order to sell products over the Internet.
KonaKart includes an extensive set of online shopping cart features to satisfy the needs of both online shoppers and store owners alike. We thought that there was a gap in the market for an affordable enterprise quality eCommerce solution designed with technologies that will perform and scale.
We have made KonaKart database-compatible with the most widely used eCommerce solution (osCommerce) with over 11,00 live stores, to allow a seamless upgrade path for users demanding better performance, flexibility, scalability and connectivity.
KonaKart is a Java / JSP / XML based solution with easy to use java API s and a SOAP Web Service interface for the ultimate in connectivity.
Here are some key features of "KonaKart":
General Functionality:
· Database compatible with osCommerce 2.2.
· Written in Java. Needs a servlet engine such as Apache Tomcat to run.
· Modular approach with API s at various levels (Client Javadoc, Server Javadoc) as well as a SOAP Web Service interface (WSDL). The web service interface promotes connectivity even from outside of the company firewall and allows client side applications (i.e. .Net, MS Excel etc.) to use the KonaKart engine.
· Completely multilingual.
Setup / Installation:
· Simple click and run installation through an installer.
Design / Layout:
· The osCommerce compatible UI uses a JSP / Struts design. The source code of the JSPs and Struts Action classes is provided in the download so that they may be customized.
· It is relatively easy to write a UI in the technology of your choice by calling the KonaKart Client API. An example of this is our Catalog Inspector Demo which consists of a Adobe Flash object created using Open Laszlo technology.

· Added functionality to support product options with variable quantity (Enterprise Only). i.e. Customer can choose number of GigaBytes of extra memory for a product by entering an amount rather than choosing a fixed option.
· The object containing payment gateway callback information has been given some extra attributes so that more information can be stored regarding the transaction type, transaction amount and custom information.
