I have a client that is considering installing a shopping cart on their site to accept online registrations and payments for their seminars. The site is ASP running on a dedicated Windows server. They are already ecommerce enabled -- they sell one product online.
Inventory management is a concern. The number of seats is limited, and the events often sell out. The shopping cart cannot be allowed to sell online more seats than are available. Correspondingly, the office staff cannot be allowed to sell offline more seats than are available. There must be control between the online and offline inventory tracking.
SEO isn't a consideration. Their presence already dominates that of all direct competitors. There are no substantive numbers searches on terms directly related to their seminars (at least ones that they don't already rate highly on.)
Can anybody recommend a shopping cart that might be able to handle this?

Check who their gateway is with. Some credit card services have contracts with multiple shopping carts. I have had mixed experience with Link Point Cart but their shopping cart will do what you want. What about PayPal? I have seen a number of shopping carts mentioned over at the Adobe GoLive User to User Forums.

Hello Cline,
I'm not 100% sure, but I think 'Actinic Business' will handle this.

Not my favourite products buts Its worth a look anyway. Another method that could be used is an Access document with a User Interface and a connection to the website database so that they talk to each other, if you know what I mean
. Sounds complicated but its a piece of piss really.
