I am an absolute newbie. I need information on using a free shopping cart program (like agoracart)?
Hi,
I аm аn ABSOLUTE newbie trying tο set up аn online store using a free shopping cart program. I hаνе tried tο υѕе agoracart bυt hаνе found thе directions/ information οn thеіr website аnd forums further thаn mе. Dοеѕ anyone know οf аnу additional information out thеrе οn setting up carts fοr thе absolute newbie?
Thanks
Just some information in this area export online:
There are programs out there confirmation your each keystroke (keyloggers) that can get into your computer–terrible guys use these just to get credit card numbers that you enter.
I get the 1-800 toll free number and do it that way.
Also, I have set up a credit card if I have to use it online. I reduced the limit on this card to say $500. Then, if the number is stolen, the card will be maxed out quickly. I recently read that the FBI will not investigate this type of crime when the total is under $20,000.
So be precise!
If you’re an absolute newbie I recommend that you don’t use AgoraCart.
For an ABSOLUTE NEWBIE with minimalistic scripting knowledge, I recommend using one of these three free shopping cart programs:
PayPal Cart
Mal’s E-Commerce Cart
There are HTML-code based carts. They do not require PHP knowledge of any sort. You generate it on their site and copy and paste a code snippet onto your page. It’s really simple to do as long as you have your web designed site up.
If you want to have a sophisticated cart like Agora, Zen, or osCommerce, you need a MySQL database and PHP help. If you have absolutely no scripting knowledge, I recommend hiring someone to professionally design it.
