Shopping basket.. help needed

[Deleted member 651465]

Hey all,

Wanting to set up my own site soon, and 1 of the things I'm stuck with is the shopping basket/purchasing aspect

I've seen that PayPal offer a shopping basket service, but I don't want to tie in my customers to paypal-only transactions! Anyone have any experience with the PayPal service? Will I need to use a seperate system for people wanting to pay by cards??

I have no server .. no bandwidth.. no domain.. nothing at the moment (still designing the site) so go easy with the replies.. I'm not a web developer by any means!

Thanks,

EVH

Paypal will take card payments without people needing to have a Paypal account - all nice and straightforward

Depending on the complexity of your needs it might better to setup something like Zencart or Cubecart, rather than setting up your own Paypal buttons

zen cart with a plugin by Conor called Protx VSP Direct.

Uses the lovely Zen Cart with all the security of ProtX which is exactly what I need and I'm personally looking into over the next few weeks so far its been highly recommended to me so check that out on Zen Cart forums

I don't mind setting up the paypal buttons myself (actually designed some in Photoshop anyway), just didn't realise it would allow a credit card payment without a paypal account

I'm assuming I'd need a business account with that though?

Oh, and haven't had a look at Zen cart but I'll keep it in mind and take a look in a bit! Thanks
