Guest Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hey, I am starting up a store. I am coming here for some help, bear with me, this is kinda overwhelming. We started an animation website, and as a result will be selling our animation on DVDs. I have used this osCommerce Open Source store here for our store, and I guess a few questions are starting to pop into my head as I am starting this. First, Is there anyway to give the store a more customized feel? I have some custom banners and titles, but how about actually changing the color scheme or the layout? Second, Credit Card transactions... I have a Paypal account for us, but as far as I understand it Paypal only works between Paypal accounts, so I would like to offer a credit card service for people who don't have Paypal, how exactly do I go about doing this? I don't think we can afford 20/30 dollars a month for an SSL Module, what all should I do? Does anyone have any suggestions? Third, Shipping... Does anyone know of any way I can put in a shipping calculator? Anyone know where I can get one for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I'll pass on the Shipping Calculator (check 'Contributions'), but PayPal no longer requires the purchaser to have an account. You can do quite a bit with the colour scheme using the stylesheet.css file in the root of your web. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Ok, but what about actual Credit Card transactions? do I need an SSL module? Is there one that doesn't cost money? (sorry if these things are overly basic, but I have honestly had to pick up this whole thing on my own, I am sorry if I seem stupid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some shipping calculators available in the contribution section, do a search there...

user99999999 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Ask your bank about credit card processing solutions. Ask your web hosting company about SSL solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
