Hey all, Just a quick question - Whats the easiest e-commerce platform to intergrate into a new site build? I've no experience with this and would like to learn. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 as my primary web build tool. Is there special hosting required? Alternativley if anyone can provide the service for me (or possibly even a few lessons to get me started - which I'd happily pay for) that would be fine too. Thanks in advance

• Magento anyone use it

Just surfing and I came across Magento open source e-commerce. The demo looks pretty slick, although I mainly use Zen Cart, I'm getting the feeling their innovation and progress has just stalled and there opposition to work with other open source organisations. Where as 3 years they were pretty much cutting edge now most ZEN sites just look dated. If anyone have experience of Magento please let know, but Ill download anyway and install and give my verdict:)

• TradingSelling Website

Hi Guys, I am creating a trading/selling website. Something similar to ebay/adverts.ie (depending on the below!), though just within a certain market. Basically I want users to be able to sell items on the site. I have got my hands on PHP Auction Enhanced 2.51 which includes the ability to charge the seller a commision based on what they sell the item for. I now don't know if the auction site was a way to go, or if this one is the right one. I have noticed other sites like adverts.ie have forums to sell items as apposed to an auction. This still gives the buyers to place bids, but i would need control over collecting payments for the sold items. Whether or not there is a listing fee or sale commision would depends on the script. Maybe I am better off creating something like the sitepoint.com marketplace? Any advice? Auction vs Forum based sales (so like ebay vs adverts.ie!)... Thanks

• New offline payment option for e-commerce merchants...

Just wondering what you make of this new payment option for customers shopping online.... go&pay™ at An Post | go and pay buy online pay offline at any Post Office (http://www.goandpay.ie/) I think it could be a hit for the 16 - 22 age bracket and for people who are concerned about handing over financial information online...... It's also a better deal for merchants if people choose this payment option.......

• Can I create an eCommerce site from scratch

Hi all. I am about to develop my first eCommerce site and I have a few questions. I come from a software development background, but with a good level of experience with web based systems and techniques. I wouldn't call myself an absolute expert with PHP, but I know when I understand the problem and the solution, I will be able to implement it in code successfully. I have been looking at the likes of ZenCart and OSCommerce and I just don't like the hassle that goes with mashing my own design templates in to them. I would like to be able to create my own site (with strict markup), with a CMS driven catalog. That users could simply drop items in to a shopping cart (session), and when they go to the checkout I simply send the payment information to the likes of realex for processing. Is this possible?, or is there tonnes of functionality in the likes of the above open source offerings that I would need to replicate. I would really like to do at least one site this way so I know I can do it myself. So what's to it? What functionality would I need. My first client is only selling to customers in Ireland, so the Euro is the only currency I will be dealing with, along with Irish VAT rates, etc. Although I'm sure if that were to change it would be simple enough to add them in to the system (or am I being terrible naieve). Also if I use something like Realex to process the payment data do I still need to host the actual site with a dedicated IP and SSL (+ certificate), or is all the privacy of sensitive data transmission taken care of by the payment processor. Of course I wouldn't store the customers payment details in the website database (just shipping information). I appologise in advance if I am making jaws drop with my ignorance on the subject, but I am eager to make a start on this project and would prefer start with a blank screen and my own programming knowledge than have to force someone else's code work for me.
