dwappes Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I just downloaded osCommerce from the Godaddy site and found the files in a osCommerce folder in my site, but I have no idea what to do with them. I am a newbie at site design and want to build a form that allows customers to buy about 6 products online with either a credit card or to pay C.O.D. The page I am trying to convert to a shopping cart is at https://www.northshoredrivingschool-wi.com/enrollment.htm. It is now just a submit form that is supposed to convey information to be processed manually, but it doesn't work in https. I would have simply used the form at the above URL, but there is a problem with FrontPage that won't allow a confirmation page on submit and it also doesn't forward the information to me, so Godaddy recommended the osCommerce shopping cart. Can anybody help me with a code I can embed to make it a working shopping cart? Thank you very much.

That's a bit (large exageration) like asking "how can I become a barrister this evening". oscommerce works out of the crate but to make it your own and a creditable shop takes a lot of time and effort. Now I don't want to put you off of this great product and community but I do get the feeling it may be "overkill" for you and require more time and effort than you may be willing to invest.

I just need a few code examples for a couple of fields and I will try to figure it out from there. I would also need to know what correcponding php pages I would need to refer to, if that's the case.
ktshannon Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 You need to supply more info. What kind of payment gateway? Are the prices static? Shipping?
dwappes Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 You need to supply more info. What kind of payment gateway? Are the prices static? Shipping? I want customers to be able to decide if they want to pay all or part of what they owe or to pay upon delivery. As such, I don't want the form to require credit card information unless they decide to pay up front. I also do not want their credit card information processed or deposited to a bank account. I just want to be able to access my account and process them manually after contacting the customer and verifying their purchase. Their payment options are pay in full, pay half, pay a $40.00 deposit, pay by check via mail, pay by credit card via phone, or pay in person on delivery.
ktshannon Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Like stated before, it seems like a bit of overkill for osommerce. Certainly it can be done with it, but manual credit card can be dangerous online. I know your not supposed to save credit card numbers in a database, so you would have to look into the best procedure for that. Have you contemplated a payment gateway of any sort? As far as the rest of payment options it'd be no problem, you could apply oscommerce checkout to this and it would work. Also keeps orders organized and such.
ktshannon Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Theres no real "code example" since you are using no payment gateway... You could just do an email form for the information, which is EXTREMELY unsecure, but I know of alternative ways to payment gateways, just have not experienced them. Just make a form and have em fill it out.
