What if I don’t like the "look and feel" of the osCommerce shopping cart? Can it be customized?
Yes. The layout of the osCommerce shopping cart which can be seen in the demo above, has been overused and isn’t that appealing. Therefore we offer our clients the option of customizing their shopping cart. We'll find the right emotional tone for your business, and design the site accordingly.
Sample osCommerce customized Sites:
What is a custom-made shopping cart?
Store owners whose system may run above the norm of a regular online store will probably need custom made application. With such a store you will receive an ecommerce system specifically designed to meet the needs of your business.
How many products can I sell in my online store?
You can have an unlimited amount of products with any of Studio6000’s ecommerce solutions.
What is an internet merchant account? How do I get one?
Internet merchant accounts enable you to handle credit card transactions automatically in "real time". Once the transactions are processed, the merchant account provider transfers the funds received to your bank account. Search Google for "internet merchant account providers" to compare some companies.
What is a payment gateway? How do I find one?
A payment gateway is a service that connects your online store with your merchant account provider.
Most internet merchant account providers offer a payment gateway as part of their plans. So when searching for an internet merchant account provider, make sure to select one that includes a payment gateway.
How can I assure my customers that their transactions are secure?
It is very important that your customers know that any information they are giving you will be processed securely. If they are not comfortable with the security your site offers, they will probably not buy products from you. To ease your customers’ concerns you’ll need to secure your site using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). When a site is secured with SSL visitors will see a special symbol in their browser window that indicates the site is secure.
What is an SSL Certificate? How do I get one?
An SSL Certificate, or a digital certificate, is an electronic document that contains the information necessary to establish a secure SSL connection. When used in credit card transactions, the Web site collecting the credit card information and the site to which the information is being transmitted must both have an SSL Certificate.
