Up to now the number of shopping cart systems that are accessible i.e. valid xhtml and WAI AA has been low.
I only know of 2 Karova and Trading Eye. However the downside is that they are not cheap.
During the last few months I have been attempting to rectify this situation and will soon be in a position to release The Accessible Shop onto the market, at a very affordable price. Currently the expected initial price will be sub £100, though this may change.
