Re: [PHP] A good PHP Shop

2002-03-08 Thread George Whiffen 

Here's a mini-checklist on tricky bits, some of which are as much about
payment as
much as cart:

1. Delivery  Packing especially pricing on composite loads, destination,
different speeds.

2. Sales taxes.

3. Quantity discounts, discount vouchers, reusable vouchers, loyalty cards.

4. Affiliate and referral tracking and their accounts.

5. Order processing, separate auth and debit, refunds, partial refunds

6. Stock control.

and, of course, currencies, languages etc., if you want to do the proper job.

Depending on your target base, I'd be particularly careful about the shopping
process. It's really
easy to put off customers, especially the general public.  For example,
insisting on user
registration before you get to the cart or order will lose you business,
unless you're the likes
of zend store and are guaranteed confident customers.

If you want to look at a mall for ideas, try http://www.ishop.co.uk which
only has php at the
backend but does show you can get rich functionality, without having to have
Amazon's
budget.

   Hello,,
  
   I am looking at setting up PHP driven shop.
  
   Can anyone recommend one?  Or which ones to stay away from?  And why?
  
   I am reviewing phpShop at the moment, and it looks pretty
  nicely featured.
  
   Thanks,
  
   Pete
