Ecommerce & Shopping Carts
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. A full service online shopping cart service like Shopping Cart Guru™ can save you quite a lot of money. Custom built ecommerse solution software PowerStore™ 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 $8.95/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.) |

Shopping Cart Guru™ Service
Inexpensive and easy to use! Recommended for start-ups and smaller lower volume online stores.
This won't make me much money but it could save you a bundle. When you host with me at HostMonster you can get a tremendous deal on a professionally managed shopping cart. I have partnered with Shopping Cart Gurus, a trusted vendor since 1996 to offer a full service online shopping cart. Add a professionally managed shopping cart for a special price through this site (regularly $49 per month or 1 year for regularly $500) Special Pricing!. When compared to other services, including such "free" programs like OSCommerce and ZenCart that require an additional SSL certificate and payment gateway plus a knowledege of PHP and MySQL, you can really save cash! I will manage the insertion of the cart code installation and maintain it. Compare this to other professionally managed shopping carts. There is NO NEED for an additional hosted database. It is included. You will NOT need an expensive SSL security certificate. All secure processing is on their server so you don't need to worry. The secure payment gateway is included. You just need to sell. See how it works @ the : Shopping Cart Gurus
