Ecommerce

Hi, I make joinery products like garden furniture and planters that I sell locally and wanted to try and take it further trying Facebook advertising.
I have hosting with tsohost which gives me access to prestashop, opencart, zen cart, magento. I think these give me paypal payment methods but do they also give debit/credit card methods and if not is it a complicated process?

Which is easiest to setup and use bearing in mind I will only be trialing with one or 2 products

Thanks for any help

To be honest I think you would be better off with a hosted platform like Shopify. They give much more hand-holding than hosting your own shop.

That looks pretty good

Paypal can handle card payments for you.
Customers dont need to have a paypal account for that.

Shopify for your needs seem like a good suggestion

Self hosted carts are good but have you got the time and expertise ?

You need to offer card payment - even if you offer Paypal and Paypal express the majority will use card

I know zero about setting up shopping, so don't know if it's straight forward or not. Had a look at shopify and it did seem pretty straight forward, at the very least it seems like a good short term solution but if anyone has any more good advice then my ears are wide open
