Shopping cart – a question & answer

[hassen1]

Question:
Is it possible to add a shopping cart or a card payment scheme to wp? I own a tile shop and was looking to design a web sit for it. I have not purchased webplus9 yet until I can find out if it can do what I want, i.e. sell tile over the net and take orders with order forms.

Answers:
(1). You could sign up for Paypal or Worldpay and insert Buy buttons (both offer the option ) against the products on the website

(2). All good hosting companies offer a few cart systems as part of the software bundle. Things like: OsCommerce, zencart, cubecart, x-cart etc. They all need a payment company like WorldPay etc. to facilitate the actual transaction. But if you have a merchant account, check with your bank if it's set for internet trading. Together with a secure connection (SSL) this could be your option. In the past I've been tempted by an all-in-one approach as offered by EKM Powershop. Basically, they can either host a secure shop for you (to which you link from your website) or just add a cart system to your website and EKM will handle all transactions.

I think paypal provides the most integrated and easy shopping cart solution . It is easy to setup and requires minimal efforts even from a person who is not easy with the behind the scenes coding , plus the advantage that dealing with security and complexes is lessened so much .although , i do not say that there are no other good solutions , i just like this one for its simple setup .
