I have a great opportunity to set up an ecommerce site selling training videos for my professional group. I have been learning as much as I can about how to do this but the information I really need does not seem to be available. I need to know the best method to store and deliver my training videos and also the best method for payment. In relation to the videos I would like them displayed and delivered or streamed. There needs to be some level of security. If possible I would like to be able to keep a record of who has purchased the videos. In relation to the payment, I know how to install the paypal method but I think people are sometimes put off by that. Is there a cheap method of just using a credits card?I am not very techy at all but am learning. I don't know any code. I am doing this on the cheap (can pay for stuff if neccessary up to a coule of thousand dollars if absolutely neccessary) but it is a real opportunity and if I miss it I will regret it forever! I have had quotes on building the wbsite, but am not confident that these guys can deliver what I really want so I feel I can learn how to do it myself.I have been running a not for profit site for about a year with WordPress. It has been fun and I have learned a lot. I like the set up of this site, although I would want better graphics: icle.com.au. Final note. I am selling to my own professional group so I really don't want to stuff it up or deliver poor quality because this will stuff up contacts with my profession for ever.I am not asking for all the answers here, I would just be really grateful if you could point me in the right direction to get those answers. Of course if you can give me all the answers don't let me stop you! Thanks for your help in advance.
You can use wordpress itself to host your eCommerce site. I need more data related to your requirement. I will do a free WordPress site, if you are interested, plz PM me, i will provide your the additional info.
The best way is to use a system like PayPal which handles all the credit card transactions for you. I have used PHP-eSeller which is a PHP / mySQL application that can be used to sell digtial products automatcally from the web using PayPal or Google Checkout as the payment method.
