Now you must decide on how you are going to accept and process your orders. If you are moving your existing store, you will need to make sure that your ordering system (ex: shopping cart)
and merchant account solutions are backwards compatible. If you are starting from scratch, then review the options below for more detailed information.
One of your options is to use a standard html order form, such as the one we use for this site. Click Here
for an example order form. This type of order form is standard HTML. It allows you to fully customize your web site with any kind of order form. This is standard HTML coding, which is
freely available.
The most popular method of processing orders is to use a shopping cart system. All of our service plans include the all powerful
Dansie shopping cart. This professional shopping cart is easy to use as it resides on our main server but allows you to insert html coding into
your web page for a customizable look and feel. You can customize our shopping cart to look exactly like your web site's layout,
while keeping the navigation simple! Our multi-page shopping cart (both html and database version) is designed to handle nearly every possible
electronic commerce need. We provide full documentation on how to edit your pages and the shopping cart. We also have a
free demonstration available to give you an idea how this cart works.
If the Dansie shopping cart system doesn't suit your needs, or if you are already using another cart, then you may purchase or use any other shopping cart that is available, as long as it can
run on a UNIX server. You have complete and full access to your CGI-BIN, so you may add any scripts you would like. Do keep in mind that we are not able to provide support for any scripts or
programs that we do not offer as we are not familiar with them.
