online order form or shopping cart

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 06.2007

I maintain a website for a small company. They would like to sell one of their products on the site. Since it would be a one pager, do I need a shopping cart or will an online order form be sufficient? Here is page/product – [URL=”http://www.sigmaservices.com/colorflames.htm”]http://www.sigmaservices.com/colorflames.htm[/URL]

I don’t have all details yet (shipping costs differ or one lump sum, etc), but they would like the customer to be able to enter credit card information, and staff would then receive email with order details.

I know I can do it with a form, but what about securing the page/form? What else am I missing? Any suggestions or reading material on this would be greatly appreciated.

@KDLAJun 06.2007 — You should probably get an SSL (secure socket layer) certificate for your website.

As to the form, if you're anticipating growth, go ahead and jump into an ecommerce system. There are lots of open source ones around, such as ZenCart, that you can use for free.

Take a look at this website: http://www.practicalecommerce.com/topic/17/Shopping-Carts--Online-Payments/

It might have some info. to help you. ?

@VITSUSAApr 03.2021 — @mlerbrick#761597 This is a good idea but you will have to implement all those features in the website that build trust in customers' life, like SSL, brand value, Good reviews, etc...

When people buy online then their expectations so high from service providers, like more offers, product exchange facility, fast delivery, etc...that's why you should think about that as well.

Success!
