Where do I start?

Hello,

 

Several folks have recommended this product to me, and I have looked around the website, but I don't know where to start. I need a shopping cart to connect to my merchant services account. It needs to be PCI compliant. It needs to be able to do instant downloads of Ebooks. How do I find out if osCommerce meets these requirements? And where do I learn what I need to do to get the software installed? (and which version to use?) Basically, where do I start? I apologize if the answers to all these basic questions are listed somewhere; I just haven't been able to find them.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

JoAnn,

 

1) Check with your merchant services provider to see if they have an osCommerce(OSC) Payment solution.

 

2) OSC can be made to be PCI DSS compliant, ensure the server you are installing on is also.

 

3) OSC has the inherent ability to offer downloads of virtual products.

 

4) You should use V2.2 RC2a as the latest release is still in Alpha mode and is not ready for use just yet.

 

5) You should start by downloading the software package, decompressing it and READ READ READ the documentation. Then, when you are ready, install the software onto your server and configure it to suit your needs.

 

 

Best wishes, and welcome to the forum.

 

 

Chris
