Get a linode.com account ($20/mo) and set up a debian server on it, get your lamp stack going, and install something like OpenCart. Keep using GoDaddy for your domain registration and DNS.

Whoa, as the other guy (Thom) said about an OJU post, "Can we get a translator in here?"



So, does Open Cart provide the payment gateway? I'd hate to be paying 4 companies for what one or two can do for me. OTOH, I don't want to get raped either. Looks like 3D Card does the full Monty including auto response for when the reseller is off line. That and a full bank of follow up emails for several purposes all at my control.



I'm just trying to validate my choice. Can you take a look at 3D Card for me?
It's all a 3 part solution.

Store/shopping cart

Merchant bank

Payment gateway

For carts Zencart, gold cart, x cart are all derivatives of OSCommerce which is an opensorce, free solution. The derivatives charge for the support and documentation.

Merchant account, check your bank.

Payment gateway, like Motion, I'll only use authorize.net. Their rate is
No more than their competition and they are one of the top three global players.

Your alternatives are
Hosted solutions like Volusion. I've implemented them for
People in the past and
while they have their place they are not
My first choice

PM me or call me tomorrow if
You want, I think
You have
