    Hello Everyone,

    I am launching a website selling parental control software soon, as I was wondering what else I needed to add to it, I have been in such a rush I havent got time to think.

    I have the design, they are coded in xhtml/css, and I am having the software developed as we speak, but what else do I need to sell the software? Any script?

    Thanks

    Jonathan

    Well I have had some flyer created, apart from the designs, do I need a script or anything when selling the software?

    Thanks

    Nah, you don't have to. Use these kind sites so you can start selling your software without any hassle of installing any script.

    payloadz.com
    e-junkie.com
    plimus.com

    Plimus has wide range of accepted payment method ;)

    I am selling a single software package, and after a while there will be updates, of course I want it to look smart and work well, so which one would be best to use? If either of them?

    Thanks

    If you are just selling one thing you need someone to code a simple checkout process for you. Something quick, clean, and accessible since your in the UK;) I am fairly certain I have something laying around if your working with php at all.

    hope that helps,
    Nigel

    Well, you can simply generate the buy now button from the admin area and put it on your product page. That way you can have 1 product page with the simplest template integration lol

    Stick with e-junkie or something like that. There's absolutely no need for the extra complexity of developing and maintaining the sales script yourself.

    You send people to your site through your promotions, and then when someone is ready to buy, the "buy now" link goes through to the external site that processes your payment and delivers the software.

    Hi Guys,

    I know you all like e-junkie, but the market I am targeting will not be major internet users, and a large portion of my marketing is through flyers, so people will visit my website. I need a simple script or something.

    Nigel Lew, that sounds interesting what you have, let me know some more please.

    I want something like on: http://www.sentryparentalcontrols.co.uk/product/ it makes the process easy and things

    Thanks

    Jonathan
