What
you'll need for your e-commerce web site:
Your shopping cart and store will need some
basic supports in order to operate properly. We will be happy to
help you understand and obtain the necessary supports. Please see our
Quilter's
Guide to Placing Your Business on the Web for additional help in understanding
these requirements.
- Domain name: You will need to obtain your own
domain name for your website (e.g. www.yoursite.com).
- Compatible web host: Your web host must use a Windows
server and provide support for Active
Server Pages, ASP.Net and an Access database, including an ODBC connection
to the database. Many hosts provide these functions at low monthly
rates. Our shopping cart is compatible with most web hosts
offering these functions. However, we will have to charge a setup
fee and a fee for technical support if you choose not to use our recommended web host. Please use our recommended
web host to avoid these fees.
- SSL certificate (optional):
If you plan to take credit card
information online (rather than calling the customer for the credit
card number), you will need to obtain a security
(SSL) certificate. Our recommended web host will allow you to use one of their shared certificates at no cost to you.
- Compatible payment
gateway/processor (optional): If you want to process
credit cards online (rather than in your bricks and mortar
store), you must acquire the services of either 1) a third
party payment processor or 2) a payment
gateway and an internet
merchant account. The Quilt Professionals shopping cart is compatible with PayPal, Authorize.net and Skipjack.com. We charge a setup fee to connect to Authorize.net or Skipjack.com, but the connection to PayPal comes free with the cart.
