E-commerce is NOT for amateurs.
By @Nancy OShea
It depends what you are doing. If you're selling a few items/products then Stripe or Paypal are perfectly fine platforms and are secure as all the financial transactions occur on their servers.
On the other hand if you have a massive store of items/products and churning them out in their hundreds or thousands then its probably not a great idea, although a lot of companies do offer Paypal as an option BUT I would expect the whole process to be executed by someone who are expert in the ecommerce field, ie no insecure client-side scripting, only back-end, cross referencing quanities, totals with a database etc.
Common sense needs to be applied.
Have you tried the code that I previously posted?
This is the result:
That's the wrong way to approach the problem.

@DJ_KIM wants a side bar to show the menu items. What is wrong with that? The sidebar could be constructed as an Off Canvas item that hides on smaller screens.
I had already suggested to cut the number of menu items down and to break the items into separarate pages. The only thing that you have added is a link to the various pages, sort of like saying, make sure that the car that you want to purchase, has a stearing wheel.

I don't know how long the list is. 'I have to scroll to even see 'most' of the list' is what the OP says. If the menu can be truncated into a sensible amount of categories then there is nothing wrong with a sidebar or off canvas menu. A mega menu would provide much more space, should this not be the case. It's also scalable if more categories get added at a future date.
If you went down the off-canvas menu route you could also use columns IF there were many categories to manage. That's pretty much the same as a mega menu, it will provide more space and give the user a better experience than possibly needing to scroll, as a result of an excessive amount of categories.

Some people assume........... and it's not always so obvious to others, which is why I try and make my responses a little more explicit. The OP even says 'What else can I do with more than 100 items in one category?' ...... without wishing to sound condescending they seem vague on how to approach that........you would 'assume' logically they would think to break up the products into more pages, right?
What's the problem here. I come up with another possible alternative solution to consider and you're becoming slightly aggressive, I guess that's not a surprising, given our past history.
And no I have added much more because I have thought it through, not just charged into it like a bull in a china shop. 95% is thought process, 5% is doing.
