osCommerce Shopping Cart
Last week we launched a new osCommerce Shopping Cart installation service for our customers, to great success!
Here at Free Virtual Servers, we were seeing a growing trend of our customers websites, which advertised their products but with no shopping cart installed. We thought the problem was that the web hosting industry uses a lot of jargon, including ourselves sometimes, which to those not directly involved may be somewhat confusing. You see in the past, building a website for your business used to be a luxury.
These days it’s a necessity, and even so-called “bricks and mortar” establishments have abandoned the notion that their business can thrive without an online component. As a result, most have become “clicks and mortar” operations, allowing their customers to choose between the virtual or physical world.
To ensure you can run your “clicks and mortar” operation, we’ll not only install an osCommerce shopping cart for you, we’ll also set up the PayPal integration – all for £49.99 so you can start selling your products immediately online.
What’s a shopping cart? Well your shopping cart is your site’s online store which is normally divided into two main areas – Product Management and Product Payment. Which, in turn, are implemented by two distinct and separate online systems – a shopping cart and a payment processor.
Can I do it myself?
Of course you can, creating an online store involves you choosing both a:
- Shopping Cart/store: choose from 5 leading shopping carts which we provide as part of our cheap hosting packages totally free of charge
- Payment Processor: There are hundreds to choose from
Once your business has its e-commerce shop running you can walk yourself through many common tasks to further the success of your business online either through our Flash Tutorials or Forums.
