oscommerce.com
is another PHP / mySQL ecommerce solution
Interchange is a pretty steep learning curve
for what you have in mind.

Does your ISP Support MySQL and php/apache?
Maybe phpshop would be easier for you.

Hi Gang,
I hesitate to display my ignorance, but I'm trying to set up a tiny
store using a shared Interchange on an ISP. I've bumped into several
problems. Probably all these are easy for the experienced, but as a
small time user, I'm baffled. I'm about 2 weeks into the documentation
and have set up & modified the Foundation store.
Background:
- My business is tiny - I sell a few Klein bottles every week. No
need for online inventory. With less than a dozen products, I don't
want catagories, classes, or search engines. And because it's so small,
I'm running on a shoestring budget. Alas, I cannot afford expensive
consultants.
- I'd like to keep the look and feel of my existing website. Kludgy,
somewhat disorganized. I wish to use the existing, mainly static html
which I upload from my home computer. (ie, I don't want to log into
Interchange to make changes to my product descriptions, pictures, etc.)
Questions:
1) How do I use only the order section of Interchange? That is, a user
sees a popup menu on my webpage (a form/post) which takes her directly
to the checkout page? That is, I don't want to engage categories or
left/top menus.
2) How can the top navigation menu be entirely eliminated? In the
foundation store, this says, "Home, Login, Your cart..."
3) How do you set a shared SSL for the checkout page? I can't find a
way to set this using the Wizard. The Administration part *lists* the
Secure URL, but I can't find a way to *set* it.
4) Can Interchange be set up and managed using ftp and the adminstrative
interface, but without shell/telnet access? The Interchange
documentation assumes shell access, but my ISP doesn't support this.
(Aargh - I know, change ISP's ...)
Many thanks for your advice! I'll happily reward significant help with
a Klein Bottle or two!
