WilliamNz Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hello, I design sites for small business and some of which only sell around 10 items. Therefore I do not want a whole new system like zencart or OSCommerce. I want to implement a tiddy little shopping cart into my 800pix wide content box. I can design the system of adding e.t.c myself but, as for actually processing a transaction, I have no idea where to start. Having a hard time finding information on this, would appreciate any help Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52066-is-it-possible-to-use-php-to-implement-tiddy-shopping-cart/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
colombian Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 If it is a really small online store, they may chose to process cards manually. That is, just store the information on a database, and make them retrieve it and run the credit card that way. Obviously, this is not the most efficient method, but would be "free" other than using whatever the small business uses regularly to charge their costumers. The cheaper option of automatic payment is using paypal, since they only charge a relatively small % fee of the purchases. There is also StormPay, and 2checkout. A good tutorial on PHP and paypal is here: http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/Quick-ECommerce-with-PHP-and-PayPal/ Good luck.

per1os Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The question you need to ask yourself is do you need categories, do you need subcategories. What information do you want to display etc. For a small little cart that has minimum features such as only 1 category a price a picture a description a title etc. Wouldn't be too hard to create. The payment part is different but yea. You probably won't find any scripts already made, but it sounds like you got a nice start for a script no one seems to have, "TiddySC" Tiddy ShoppingCart =) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52066-is-it-possible-to-use-php-to-implement-tiddy-shopping-cart/#findComment-256741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamNz Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 ah I see, thanks for feedback. So essentially, you need to have either a third party to process the payment for you, or use a set in stone template like ZenCart. It can't be done yourself automatically? If this is the case, then I guess the clients that I design for will just have to accept having a link open a new window to a complete new system... It won't look good, but doesn't look like theres another option, unless they wanna pay more Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52066-is-it-possible-to-use-php-to-implement-tiddy-shopping-cart/#findComment-256815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
