Create My Online Store

Dazzling Image · 13-01-2010, 11:02 AM

Hi,

I have a very simple website now but I intend to turn it into a online store.
Below are the requirement I need for an online store

1) Account -->previous order
-->My Account -->Change of account information
-->Change account password
-->My orders--> show customer previous only
2) Shopping cart
3) Check out for order
4) Register/Login
5) Search option (for the ease of customer to find our products)
6) Currencies

I do not want to engage a web desginer and I am thinking of doing it myself.
Is there anywhere I can learn how to do these?

Please advise, thanks

The features that you listed are definitely supported by all the open-source shopping cart script.

For something simple, i would recommend you to look at prestashop.

Hi fancypocket,

thanks.

Do you use it in your website as well?

noeclue · 13-01-2010, 12:19 PM

nope ... i use customized paid shopping cart.

May i ask, how much did you spend?
Did they do your website for you?

I did it myself. Frankly speaking, dont waste any money paying someone to create a shopping cart.

If you are not familiar with it, you can always get a hosting company which provide an ecommerce installation free. eg. installatron, fantastico, etc. Join the cart's community forum and read their manual.

Save your $ elsewhere or transfer to me

is it easy?
How long did you use to do that website if your?

It would depend on whether you have any experience with hosting, domain, etc.

Installation + initial configuration may take you around 2-4 hours.

If not, you may have to spend days to learn and read the manual.

I already have my website.
If I want to add those item which i mention earlier to it, is it possible?
or I have to recreate a website?
