    Ecommerce Website HTTP or HTTS?

    Drat. I just paid £80 for two. I thought that was quite reasonable. Didn't realise you could get your own. :(

    Ecommerce Website HTTP or HTTS?

    Just setting up a new website and my developer has suggested that it would benefit from being ALL HTTPS. Is this advisable and is there any disadvantages to it? This is an area I know nothing about and web searching seems to bring up very little on security encryption. I know most shopping...

    Ecommerce becoming depressing?

    While it's capitalism at its highest level, I think we'll all agree that the idea of bargain basement profit margins are outrageous. In the end the only person who wins is the consumer. Sadly, nothing can be done to stop it. I can't see wholesalers saying no to anyone - they'll sell to Tom...

    Ecommerce becoming depressing?

    This is the #1 problem for me. Companies that set up and have no costs. I met one of my competitors a few weeks ago and he's quite happy shipping over the weekends to make a few extra quid for holidays, etc. Which is just outrageous. How can anyone compete when they're happy to sell on eBay and...

    Google Adwords - 10 Digit Code

    Hey everyone. I've been trying to call Google to set up my account for my AdWords campaign but the phone line is asking for a 10 digit code which I have no idea where it is (never even seen it). Does anyone know where I can find it as there's no (apparent) way to speak to a Customer Service Rep...

    Error Message...?

    What does this mean? I can't get a translation from anyone... Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Error: Got error 28 from storage engine<br />Error No: 1030<br />SELECT * FROM oc_category c LEFT JOIN oc_category_description cd ON (c.category_id = cd.category_id)...

    New Store... What suffix?

    I want to open a new store, and I could just call it www.(nameofproduct)store, but that's so dreary I quite fancy emporium, but it's probably unwise in terms of what's easy to spell. So is www.(nameofproduct)shop the best option, really? Does it even make much difference?

    PHP / Joomla / Wordpress / Opencart

    I really appreciate the post but I already have two functioning stores (one has been in business for five years), I just don't know the best option for my new store as everyone is giving me very different options. I would just go with a customised OpenCart (which is what I've been asking for)...

    I was looking at this: http://shopping-cart-review.toptenreviews.com/ /confused.com Actually, confused would be a better place than I am now! :D Lots of people saying Joomla is a great place to start for a simple store only selling a few products.

    PHP / Joomla / Wordpress / Opencart

    The thing is, while this site is absolutely not going to be selling more than 30 products (at the moment), it's unlikely I'm going to need to expand it... But what if I change my mind and start selling a few more items... I don't want to make the mistake of doing this and then finding in a year...

    PHP / Joomla / Wordpress / Opencart

    Ack. I'm still toying with OpenCart for now, and I think I'll have enough products in 12 months, although on this one install, I'll never have more than 20, I shouldn't think...

    PHP / Joomla / Wordpress / Opencart

    OK thanks for taking the time to reply. I kinda felt that there are so many news carts OpenCart has been relegated to 'old timer'. Is this still the case? I'm very familiar with OpenCart and I will have a good few products in 9 months, but for now, do you think with a really cool front page...
