I am doing an online shopping kart for a local restaurant. I can easily setup the shopping kart and have it all done via email, but what I am trying to find information on, is how can I have this sent via fax instead. I know of companies like Efax and a few others, but what is the best way to go do you think? Thanks alot!
The only thing I can think of would be to try and find a service that converts emails to fax. I've never done anything like this so I can't really tell you where to look. I'm not even sure if something like that exists. I suppose it's also possible for a script to send the info to a fax machine connected to the system, but you'd probably have to create the script yourself or hire some to do it. If you can't find a good fax service I'd suggest convincing the restaurant to keep a computer running with an open email program that's set to filter out emails which don't come from your shopping cart.
Yes the computer handy is always one option good point. I wonder what sites like campusfood.com use for the faxing...?
