osCommerce

The e-commerce.

Is osCommerce right for me?

Hi folks, been thinking of setting up an online store but there are a few things i definitely want from a CMS. osCommerce looks great and being free makes it even more appealing, however I dont mind paying for an e-comm cms is thats what it takes to get the site how i want it....

 

The main thing I want to be able to do is have integrated credit card billing so the user never leaves the site, or at least wouldnt be aware they have left so the pages would look exactly the same..... there would be no "click here to go to Protx to make your payment etc. etc." Can anyone recommend any services that can do this??

 

And on a similar note, must customers always 'register' when they use the checkout of an osCommerce site? I'd like my users to be able to easily avoid registering making the checkout process as quick and painless as possible.

 

Cheers peeps

osc can be changed to match your site exactly

most payment gateways do have functions that will allow secure processing without leaving your site

yep, their is a contrib that will allow for no registration needed for purchases.

 

other goodies not in base install. vouchers/gift certs, affiliate programs, multi stores, and rss. If you can think it, their is a 99% chance that their is a contrib for it that is fully functional and can be integrated.

Thanks for the speedy reply...... does anybody know of any sites using osCommerce with integrated credit card purchasing that i might visit and take a look at how it's working??

 

even better, is there anybody out there who is doing this already on their site and can advise on how it's been working.

 

cheers peeps

cheers Ken, I'd already had a poke around there and everything I look at wants me to register which I dont want to do if its not to see an integrated system!

 

cheers anyway

Then click the link at my signature. The jewellery shop allows you to go through checkout w/o registeration. Just click the shopping basket and empty it on the order confirmation page. There's no protx payment at the shop although protx does offer something you want. i.e., customers do not leave your site during the whole process of ordering. Please do not place a false order, otherwise the shop owner may get upset :) .

Cheers Ken, I had a look at your site, that's great. Not sure if your checkout was all just standard osCommerce but I particularly liked some bits like the highlighting when you select postal method, nice!
