The Tramp™ asked:


I’m a cart pusher for Wal-Mart and a college student. I’ve heard that there are some Wal-Mart stores using a shopping cart management system called Verlok. The mechanism has a slot where you insert a quarter ($0.25) and then remove a key from the mechanism and then the cart can be taken out. When the customer is finished, he returns the cart to the corral and locks it into the others and then his quarter is returned. Cool, huh? No more carts strewn about the parking lot, no more damaged carts or dents in customer vehicles, and BEST of all, no more intense hard work. We can be doing something else instead of spending 8 hours retrieving stupid carts. Lighten the work load! The only problem–why doesn’t THIS Wal-Mart have the Verlok system? I hope they hurry up and try to bring it down here. It’s hell without it!
Here are a few things to think of. Help me think of some more in/out thoughts.
DEPOSIT IN, LAZINESS OUT
DEPOSIT IN, EXCUSES OUT
DEPOSIT IN, IRRESPONSIBILITY OUT

Christina A asked:


I created a website in my Dreamweaver program. I have a host, domain, and the design. What I need help with is putting a shopping cart on the site. I really don’t want to use PayPal. I plan on getting a merchant account with a credit card processing company as well as a business bank account. A credit card processing company I am looking at offers free software (gateway software), and I’m not sure how this works with my site. Is there anybody here that has a website with a payment system on their site that can explain the process? Does the software give me some kind of code that will corrispond with my site. I’m not selling products. I’m selling ad space and a local directory. So when people want to advertise on my site, they’ll pay an ad fee. Kind of like classifieds. I want the customer to see their ad and the fee they’re being charged. I also created an order form and I would like to understand how I can incorporate a shopping cart w/ the form.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

I know it’s hard question answer and I know everyone says it depends.

Im a freelance web designer and I have built Commercial sites in the past but never a Ecommerce site before.

It is a small gift shop that wants a shopping cart and be able to accept credit cards. Should I give a flat fee for x amount of items to put on the site. Or should I charge per item.
They said there is around 100 – 200 items

I would have to:
-Take a photo of the item
-crop the picture
-upload the picture and put in on the site.
-create the add to shopping cart button for the item

How would I deal with upkeep with the site should I charge for a service contract for 6, 12 months?

How much should I charge for all this. Nothing crazy just html and the shopping cart.

Brian D asked:


I am needing to build a database to call from osCommerce, so that I can query the fields etc. I have worked a little with databases such as access through Dreamweaver but do not know much about databases. Where should I start? I know that I should not use access for this as I will eventually need hundreds of thousands of fields. Is there some kind of database builder that is free? If I have VB.NET can I build one with that that can be accessed? In the end what I would like to do is to be able to somehow use SQL somehow through osCommerce to call the fields in the database… Any ideas? Where to start? Thanks and any help is much appreciated.
