hey guys i am a total newbie i want to build an online store, design is not a big deal, but my main problem is mysql and CMS. my host offers great deal of CMS and e-commerce applications btw (but as i said neeeewwwbiieee) if anybody can help me with that let me know and we can reach an agreement if he/she want something in return
I dont think you need to know much about mysql if your host provide those applications for you. Most probably Fantastico panel from where you can install by clicking a few buttons your desired app.
Easiest way I think it to just add paypal buttons. If you have an account, the shopping cart just works. If you know how to copy paste html, you are good to go. I supposed it depends on the size of the store though.
I think you will need a merchant account to use those carts. I haven't done it though as I just use paypal.
Your hosting provider probably has a help section taylored to your questions if you want to install one of their carts from Cpanel or Vdeck or whatever.
yeah thanks alot actually my main concern now is the cms, but starting going through it ok thanks again
FYI - You can use OSCommerce with Paypal (standard and IPN). There are modules for it. Same with Zencart.
