This project is based on Magento Community Edition (www.magentocommerce.com), but is otherwise not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or supported by the creators and owners of Magento (Magento Inc.).
The repository contains a stripped-down version of Magento to allow it to be used as a more general purpose framework or CMS. Therefore, all functionality relating to shopping carts has been removed.
