Below is some generic information about e-commerce
and secure web pages and shopping carts.
If you have specific questions, please let us know
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Question: I see that on your
page it says free shopping cart.
Does this mean free credit card orders or is this something
different?
It means that we have 2 free shopping cart programs
that you can customize for your needs
It also means that we include the use of ssl (secure pages)
You can use our secure certificate for the server
for your order forms so that you can take orders securely online.
There is no extra charge for this
or if you prefer
You can also get your own SSL certificate
(we do not charge extra for this-but-you will need to buy an
SSL
certificate from an issuing authority such as Thawte
or Verisign)
You would need to be set up to take credit cards online or
you can process offline
BestWebHost.com is not a
bank and we are not
credit card processors-this must be established
with a bank or online card processing system
Paypal is also a choice for fast
start up with no monthly fees.
If you already have a merchant account
that is definitely a great start.
if you want to process online in real-time,
It is best to find out what shopping cart your
merchant account can work with.
For most shopping carts
You would need to be set up to take credit cards online
but one of the advantages of the Agora cart is that you can
you can also process offline
so you do not need to have an online processor
before you pick a processor-
your best choice is to pick a shopping cart
and see what processor/gateways work with that shopping cart

The shopping cart on the server is
agora cart shopping cart software
We would also be happy to install cube cart on your site
on our web hosting server
if you prefer to use cube cart
an example of a secure SSL shopping cart
using the agora shopping cart software
on our server is located at
https://secure.bwhst.com/~shopping
You can tell
that this is a secure shopping carts by looking at the beginning of the url.
You will see https:// instead of http://
When you see https:// it indicates a secure page as long as the SSL
certificate is valid.
You can check the certificate status in your browser.

re: how difficult will it be to design a site for the credit card
orders?
like any cart, the cart requires you inputting all pertinent
information, but the carts do come with easy to use control
panels for adding products.
