Shopping Cart...
If you have products or services that you want to offer for sale on your website, you may want to consider adding a Shopping Cart. A shopping cart will allow people to see what products or services you are offering then fill out a form to order these products. At Green River Web Design, we offer a basic PHP-based shopping cart that consists of a form for people to fill out that will collect the order information plus the customer’s personal information and credit card information. Upon hitting the Submit button on the form, this information will be sent to you via regular e-mail, in an easy-to-read format. You will also have the option of selecting SSL (Secure Socket Layer), which is an encryption service. Basically, it encodes the information before it is sent to protect the privacy and security of your customers, then decoded once it reaches your mailbox. SSL is an additional service offered by Web servers and will cost $29.95. Check out this sample Shopping Cart to see how it works. You can go ahead and fill out the form and hit the submit button. This sample Shopping Cart is designed to send the information back to the e-mail address entered into the form (presumably yours) and will be sent back to you. Depending on which e-mail service you use, it may be sent to your junk mail folder. |
