RightCart

by admin on November 01, 2006

RightCart is a free embeddable shopping cart system that makes it easy for content publishers to sell products on their websites. The products are sold by other RightCart members, or by third party vendors such as Amazon and CafePress. As a publisher, you get to advertise items that you choose, and are paid a commission on each sale. As a vendor, RightCart provides a new outlet for getting your product out to consumers.

We built RightCart as more than a proof-of-concept Ruby on Rails application (although it's often used as an example of a great Rails-based app). RightCart is a full-blown business all its own. What starts as a fun idea sketched out on a napkin can quickly take on a life of its own!
