This looks like a good little cart, but there are a few problems with it;
Thumbnail transparency issues is a pain;

Sure you can have white backgrounds, but it's ugly...
The other problem is a security one which I read about in the forum while trying to solve the above issue.
Other than that it is a nice simple cart which may suit some people.
Thank you rockettheme for producing this.

I installed and configured this product in a very short time. I set up my 2 products and it really looked great and I was a happy camper until I tried to test purchase and discovered there was no offline payment option. That was my fault it said it only used PayPal and Google Checkout but I just assumed that would be in addition to a offline payment option. Most of my users will not use PayPal or Google but are very good about mailing a check. This is a killer for me so I will have to use a different Shopping Cart that has this option.
This is a nice looking, easy to use simple cart and I was anxious to look at it for a project. Unfortunately, this component is based on simplecartjs and it is quite easy to change prices and such using Firefox and the Firebug plugin. While it may not seem like a big deal to the creators, it would require a number of reversals in accounting and either PayPal or Google Checkout - neither of which is a trivial affair. While the average customer may not know how to do this, the instructions are easily found on the web and therefore I wouldn't use it for any ecommerce project until this vulnerability was fixed. Pity, because it fits a niche that isn't filled by more complex products like VirtueMart.
I always thought customers should have a choice to how they would make payment... Google and PayPal are great to have, but it would be better to have both as a choice for the customer. There should be an option to have both Google and PayPal for choices for the customer to use to pay for the product.
I have used many extensions and there were some great ones. But I can't remember the last time I was this happy. In fact, I'm so happy that I actually created an account to write a review.
RokQuickCart is a very simple and beautiful extension to use. If you sell less than 10 items at your website, it's a must.
I hope the developer continues working on this extension and add features such as promotional code, discounts when you buy more than two items, and a module so you can put the "Add to Cart" button on any of your content.
I would definitely pay money for this cart.

This is a brilliant little shopping cart, that just WORKS. Total time downloading, installing, and inserting your own products to sell from your page - less than 5 minutes. It's also got a very nice slick interface, that suits the Web 2.0 look.
The direct integration into both Paypal and Google checkout systems was EXACTLY what I was looking for - I didn't need any other processing companies, which just makes things more complicated than they need to be.
Just a warning - do not expect this to be a full blown shopping cart - they don't claim it is. It's simply a one page cart that you can put on your site to sell a FEW things (ie more than 20 items and your page will start to look a little cluttered).
Unfortunately for me, I am looking for something that looks and works exactly like this component, but can manage a slightly bigger inventory (multiple categories, based on the Joomla section/category layout is fine), and possibly include shipping and tax options - basically suited for a small home business.
Hopefully an alternate version to this will include these additional features, as it's definitely an untapped part of the otherwise fantastic Joomla Extensions Directory.

Very good. I was looking for a way to provide options for advertising on the site. Wonderful, by being objective and efficient. Congratulations once again to Rocket Theme.
