    Hi I want to set up an online sports store selling other people products. I have made the design below:

    Design


    I am wondering is it possible to have a store like I have in the design but selling CJ products? Is there some sort of script I could integrate the design into and set up a store?

    Do you have the ability to cut and code that design? If so.. it's definitely possible. I would look into appropriate merchant that sells those types of items.. then you could work with CJ product API to bring in products. You could also start 'statically' and enter the products by hand to see if you're going to get some action from this store front, then look into more complicated solutions like the CJ web service.

    I guess it comes down to how much work you want to put into it. I agree as well.. nice lookin' design.

    You need to do it by hand or learn about php / mysql and use a database. Initially I would just create a page for each product with an image a description and a link to the merchant.

    Hello mikka23

    Here is where you'd get some information on the CJ web service..

    http://webservices.cj.com/

    I agree with mad4 and do it by hand at first.. unless you're ready to dive into some PHP.

    I have studied php in the past and have a book. I remember barely anything though. I have basic understanding of how things work though.

    Should I be selling one companies products? That way images are likely to be consistent.

    Are there not any current scripts I could use such as BANS but for CJ products instead of ebay.

    I put one together a simple guide for connecting to CJ Product Web Service and populating a local database. Might be useful, there are some challenges ahead of you, but let me know.. definitely would be able to help. This guide was only for PHP4.. FYI.

    Also the info at webservices.cj.com is great. They have sample code as well.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the info. I will check them out once I have coded the design. Having some CSS problems with the navigation at the moment.
