Hey All,

I'm really new to all this.

I've been asked to create an online web store for a client, but I'm in the dark as where to start. Could you guys please help me or maybe point me in the direction of a site or person that can help me in this instance.

Here is the website I've created.

Many thanks

Jamie

    Start with the merchant bank since whatever shopping cart & gateway you use must be compatible with their merchant bank or they won't get paid.  

    PCI Compliance is another issue you need to be aware of.  On line merchants must do everything possible to protect their customers from identity theft.    If you're not up to speed on all this, use a 3rd party PCI compliant shopping cart.  Let the experts deal with the the security headaches.  It's less risk for you and your client.

    I would also check with the client's hosting service. It may be that the host already is set up to provide your client with a shopping cart, either as a component of the hosting package or for an additional charge. The client, as Nancy mentions, will first need to establish a merchant account--likely with its current bank--, and then arrange for a payment processor like authorize.net.
