A few words about ECommerce.
This can get expensive but here are the costs up front. Neither of us can cut corners and we can't be too careful when dealing with your financial issues. Custom built ecommerse solution software PowerStore™ from WebAssist™ can be purchased but it is not a stand-alone application. It is an Adobe Dreamweaver® extension. Free ecommerce software for shopping carts including: Oscommerse® or Zencart® market solutions with PayPal® funtionality do not cost money, but they require a much higher setup fee or an extensive knowledge of PHP and MySQL to use or modify the code for your own store. I have set up both as demo stores. Additional costs: Requires a dedicated server at $5.95/month and a security certificate @ $45/yr. and a PayPal™ Pro payment gateway account which is an additional cost to you. PayPal does cost money for a merchant account. (See Below.)
