Shopping cart in website

Would appreciate some help regarding shopping cart software and my
future website.
I am wanting to compile a website and sell a few products on my site.
My big obstacle at the moment is,I am having a hard time understanding
the use and how to use shopping cart software on my website.
If I use my web hosting companies software,how do I connect that
software with my products and get everything to work smoothly.Or is the
proper way of using a shopping cart software is to compile the website
with the software already integrated in the web site and then upload the
whole website afterwards.
Could some explain the process or direct me to further reading.Thanx

The process depends somewhat on the actual cart package used, but
usually, you install the package on the server (which your host may
already do), and then insert your products.

Most (good) cart software allows two ways to insert your products.
Either manually through an administration tool, or through uploading
comma-seperated database file. If you only have a few products, and
it's a new piece of software to you, you should use their manual tool.
That way, you get used to the interface and can play around with the
features a bit more. Check the documentation provided with the cart
software for more details.

You may want to post what cart software you're using or considering so
you can get more specific help if needed.
