Title:
Is it possible to create a Non-Paypal shopping cart?
I'm new to shopping carts so please excuse my ignorance, Questions:
1. is it possible to integrate Flash into a shopping cart that doesn't use Paypal? Possibly something that doesn't require you to leave the Flash page?
2. I assume there's probably security issues - is there a smoother way to incorporate an ecommerce solution than the Paypal means
3. Do you know or recommend a good shopping cart system (Flash or html), something like what www.panic.com uses - so simple to use
Thanks!

www.panic.com is using paypal API only. The interface us provided by the website and the information is sent to paypal. Its a simple form that is filled and the info is sent to paypal to get processed. You can also create the same.

if you don't want to leave your website for payment then you have to use the API of your payment gateway. Paypal provides this service with their payed account only "Website Payment Pro" check this link for more details

Its paypal, as I can see the paypal button there. According to paypal rules, if you are using API then you must give user the optional button to pay using paypal also. This button is usefull when user does not trust your website and wants to do transaction on paypal website only.
