I am going to be taking over a website that will be selling items. I am very familiar with php and setting up a page to get the basics going, lay out the page, put products in the db, display all the products, I can even make a shopping cart (will work like inventory lists I have done many times on the past, just show what items that they “own” which would be cart items, I got all that under control… the issue is I have never done a shopping site before, so I don’t know what I will need in order for people to check out and accept a CC payment
I have been reading some things and seen that I will have to go thru a gateway.. ( I seen this from a program like Agoracart), is that something I can setup somehow, also this site has a physical store that accepts CC payments, should I be able to call them and have them be my online gateway? I am trying to stay away from something like agoracart, cause it is just an html cart with no db, and it pretty much is the site itself… I already have the site in place, I just want to put a “add to cart” button in the while fetch array for the product list and then have people be able to check out securely with a CC..
thanks for all your input and suggestions
