I'm developing a new website that requires a shopping cart using Authorize.net. I've already installed Drupal and would appreciate any pointers regarding the best shopping cart app to use. Anything else you can add to help me along will be appreciated. Thanks!

UberCart is a great shopping cart and supports authorize.net out of the box.

I've used Ubercart with Authorize.net and it works great. I've had very few problems with Ubercart. I'd be happy to share my experiences with you.

Thanks! I'll keep you in mind if (when?) I run into problems.

I could use some help getting started with the install. I'm following the Installing Ubercat instructions. Step 1 is Install Drupal, which is already in place, step 2 is Install (Drupal) Module Dependencies. What directory do I download the required modules to?

In most situations, all contrib modules should go into your sites/all/modules directory (you will have to create it)

Ubercart is a contrib (non-core) module and should also be installed in this directory.

http://install.ubercart.org is a great tool to install Drupal and Ubercart all at once, but you would have to start over. DO NOT USE IT ON A PREEXISTING SITE. It assumes a blank slate and will fail / screw stuff up horribly if you try to use it on a preexisting site. (Actually I think it checks for existing files / tables and fails gracefully, but still. Why risk it.)
Cheers,
Andy

Thanks Andy. I ran across that in other posts, but decided I'd better not risk it.
