Guest gopal Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 I have recently started a print magazine and would like subscribers to sign up for subscriptions and pay for their subscriptions online at my site. Is that possible with the Silver Plan? I do not want to go through the hassle of processing the subscriptions?Would *****'s Silver Plan take care of my e-commerce needs? Quote
orangechicken Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 They can definitely host it. -BUT- this doesn't take the burden off of you to build your commerce platform. Whether you choose to DIY or use a more sophisticated (preferrably open-source) ecommerce platform like osCommerce (http://www.oscommerce.com) is up to you. You will still have to set up a merchant account, an account with a payment gateway (like iTransact or Authorize.net), and purchase an SSL certificate. There are many steps to building an ecommerce web site, my friend. ***** will host it for you quite wonderfully so check that off the TODO list! Quote
Guest info gatherer Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 I learned alot about ecommerce on www.verisign .com which I linked onto from www.findmyhosting.com. They have a pretty good introduction article, it might help. Plus you can get it in a printable version. Good Luck! Quote
