My client wants a store

I set up Open Cart for a customer (same theory as Lex's PrestaShop suggestion). You do need to be self hosted though. Plenty to choose from with PrestaShop, AbanteCart, Open Cart and Zen Cart being the big boys.

Main site is Xara with a link to the store installed in a sub directory of the main site.

Hop onto YouTube and search for each name to see if any appeal to you.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I think I may stick with the PayPal widgets for each item.
Conversely we might go with an Etsy store. Certainly integration with Xara is difficult. Link to a store works but requires more hosting.
It’s a challenge, but I’ve lots of time to develop a strategy.

Just avoid selling any crockery until it wears off.

I have used prestacart before - most hosting/cpanel plans will come with one click apps and it is usually available

Works great! I usually install it so yoursite.com/cart or yoursite.com/sjhop brings you right to the cart. Has integrations for paypal, amazon, and other payment systems including cod and checks and bank wire xfers for international people
