Frontpage/Shopping Cart/Paypal

J

Jeffrey Hall

I'm a newbie to FrontPage '03. My goal is to develop a web site to promote
and sell hand made jewelry using FrontPage. I will need to setup a shopping
cart system and something like paypal for payment. My question is what is
the best way to make a shopping cart available in the site I'm making, what
one to use, etc..? Is paypal the best way to make credit card payment
available?

Paypal is the easiest, unless you're gonna have hundreds of products to sell.

No FP doesn't.

You'd have to find a third party shopping cart and which one you use will depend on what is compatible with your server. There are a couple that are free: CandyPress & Comerus - (well, almost free)

Some are very expensive.

You'll also have to have a method of receiving credit card payments..and don't forget security.

You don't have to worry about any of this with Paypal, so if your a newbie you might want to start off with Paypal and if the biz takes off you can switch, in the meantime you'll have time to study up on how to do your own shopping cart.

Hi-
I have not done ecommerce yet, but I've studied about different options
because I do plan to do it in the future. From what I've read, the most
recommended systems/sites - in terms of overall ease to set up and quality -
are www.frontpagecart.com and www.storefront.net . At least you may find
some answers to your questions. Good Luck,....Frank
