Basic Cart provides a simple shopping cart and checkout process for Drupal, ideal for smaller sites. It allows you to select specific content types to be sold, sends order confirmation emails, and offers a cart contents block.
Basic Cart is a very simple shopping cart / checkout process for Drupal, that just sends 2 emails after each order. Along with the shopping cart, this module also provides a block where you can view your cart's content. It's ideal for small websites with only a few products or other content types being sold, for example touristic offers.
Main difference from Ubercart and Commerce
The main difference from Ubercart and Commerce is the possibility of choosing the content types that can be added to the cart. It also doesn't bother you with the Product SKU, that can be a pain when you have just a few products.
Features

- Create a view for the content type/s to get the shop's overview. If you already have it, you can skip this step.
