paying for things online

retrac2k · 11 Apr 2006 at 21:05

Hey guys,

Hope this is allowed on the forum, if not, apologies!

Basically, I have set up a website for my sisters new embroidery company (pretty small, run from home), and she wants people to be able to make orders and pay for stuff online, using credit cards etc. So, I'm after something that enables you to do that on the website.

I'm thinking along the lines of paypal, but if anyone has any better suggestions, they'd be much appreciated!

Cheers!

Thanks guys - been checkin it out!

Does my web host have to have anything in particular enabled? Sorry, bit of a novice at this kinda thing!

Cheers!

it says in the setup file to:

"Using phpMyAdmin or another tool, create your database and user, and assign that user
to the database. Write down the name of the database, username, and password for this
database for the database installation procedure."

Can someone explain this to me please, as like i said, im a novice, and looks a bit complicated to me! Thanks, and sorry for my stupidity!

damn it, just read on my hosting providers site that they don't support PHP or MySQL... could be a problem! lol

What kind of monkeys are you with?

using a company called 123-reg - they were cheap, and not knowing much about hosting and all that, just went with a cheap one! Hmmm, i foresee this as a problem then! Any suggestions whilst i try not to look so stupid?!
