candleduck asked:


I am looking and I have stumbled upon some open source software like osCommerce and Zen Cart

Do they offer a store front and how secure are they?
is there a lot of trouble shooting involved?
Will I have to be efficient in PHP?
I have an existing domain can I use one of these open source packages with it?

I want to setup a pay for content site that will provide information (no porn). I am looking for open source software or a company that will allow to do so. I can program in nearly any language but this is my first time in the pay for content world. Mainly i need to be able to to charge for time based subscriptions to content. I have looked at ccbill but there percentage is pretty high and they seem to have strong ties to porn. I have looked at many carts - zen cart, oscommerce, etc but they are more of stores and not subscription based. Any hekp is greatly appreciated
