Ecommerce website with individual customer accounts

Hi

I am looking to make a website using Adobe Dreamweaver.  This site has to have ecommerce and a way for customers to log in to their own accounts with their own username.  I have used Dreamweaver before, but I do not know if I can do ecommerce and customer accounts with it.  Can anyone help and give me some pointers?

Thanks very much,

Greg

    I currently maintain a database driven catalog of about 1,000  digital & tangible products.  I built the backend CMS and product database myself in Dreamweaver with Bootstrap, PHP & MySQL.

    Customers are handed off to the 3rd party cart for payment processing.  Upon completion, they're sent back to the main website to retrieve their downloads or confirm their tangible goods order.

    I didn't build a customer log-in portal because quite frankly, we ddin't need one.   But the backend CMS definitely has a secure log-in area for the CRUD pages -- Creating, Reading, Updating and Deleting  records.  As new products are added to the database, they're automatically reflected in the site's summary and detail pages. 

    Any shopping cart that gives you code for Add to Cart, View Cart and Checkout buttons will work under this model.

    Dreamweaver does not build e-commerce sites for you.  But if you have the requisite coding skills and server-side programing know how, you can use Dreamwever to help you.

    Keep in mind that e-commerce sites must adhere to strict Payment Card Industry (PCI) regulations to protect merchants and customers from online criminals.   This is not a project for amateurs.  If you're not skilled ini all things e-commerce, use a 3rd party shopping cart.

    Thank you Nancy.  I think I can use a third party and integrate into my website with code that they provide.

    I am curious, have you had experience with this? If so, what service do you use?
