Keiya K asked:


I have a small restaurant business that makes around 300k a year. I am thinking about accepting credit cards because many customers want to use credit cards but we only accept cash. How much would the startup costs be for getting a credit card system in place? Also, how much roughly are monthly fees and how much are transaction fees (estimates are fine)? Are there any contracts when signing up for credit card processing? In all honesty, would it be best for me to stay cash only or would it be better (again in your opinion) for me to go with a credit card system.

One more thing, we are more of a seasonal business in that we get most of our customers (about 75% of our income) during May-August and in November-January. Other months the business is slow.

Hey Yahooligans,

First off, I’d like to list what I have used already:
WebsiteSource
ANHosting
1and1
HostGator

Some were decent and was a good run for the money but they always seem to have some issues with compatibility with eCommerce carts or have random downtime because they over stuff their servers.

I finally decided, I would either have to go VPS but I’d much rather pay $20 or below for a host, not $50. So as a last hope, I am asking the Yahoo community who have had personal hosting experiences to maybe give me a last glimpse of hope to use a Shared Host that can meet my needs, which aren’t much at all, just be able to function with Zen Cart or let me be able to customize the PHP output mode.

So please make your suggestion and by all means, if you use a VSP now, let me know how you like your company. A VPS seems much more likely to work for my businesses.

If the VPS can also let me resell and create separate control panels, that would be a bonus! Heh.

Warm Regards,
Jason

I am looking for a shopping cart for my website. My hosting site offers CubeCart, osCommerce and Zen Cart and I don’t like ANY of them. I am willing to pay for one (up to $300 preferably) but I want something that looks professional, not cheesy. Any suggestions?

usfixiate asked:


I am designing my own website, and I would like a “Shopping Cart” on it, but all of them (Zen, Cube, etc) are too difficult to set up and you always end up having to pay for something (i.e. processing orders). Is there a way to have a shopping cart on your website, but when the customer clicks “submit” it just sends an email of the order to me? Would I have to write a script for it?
Thanks.
Paypal’s cart looks pretty good! Thanks for the answers!

I am a mid-range graphic designer. I have done web for 3 years but mostly HTML & CSS. PHP and coding is new to me, I know some but not that much. Mostly simple forms.

I host sites at Godaddy and use Dreamweaver to build. Any help would be awesome!!

marcus asked:


I have a Zen Cart e-commerce site but I want some more customization to the template (one issue) and I also wonder if a different hosting site would result in more traffic and more online orders (a second issue.)

Can the selection of the hosting site result in more traffic and more orders? I selected who I’ve got because at the time I thought the inter-linking with all the other community sites they serve would benefit me. (The info business site.)

The e-commerce site came second, but now is my primary concern. My service provider and hosting site brought me to Zen Cart and have me set up but only adequately. I’d like to customize the template more (I can lean on them to get that done if that’s really the only shortcoming) - - but I also wonder if they just aren’t an expert host for e-commerce and that if I went with someone from Zen Cart’s recommended list (or another big national)…. that I’d get more orders.

Are security badges important? I see a lot of sites without.
