How do I get a customized Paypal cart (multiple options)?

bentonelectronic asked:


I’m going to start building PCs for people in my area. I have made the website, but I’m stuck at one part. I’m familiar with and use regularly the Paypal merchant tools, but the shopping cart system seems to be missing an integral feature; the ability to have a single item with multiple options kind of like what you would do when buying from HP or Dell. I mean, where you have the base model and can add or remove components with a drop-down list and only have to click the add to cart/buy it now button once. Does anyone know how to do this?
I don’t have really any experience coding PHP, so something that works out-of-the-box would be best.

How do I set up a visually customized Shopping Cart System?

Dust Dreamer asked:


Mainly, I need someone to tell me where to start. Once I get going, I can probably figure it out.
The end goal is to have a listing of books for sale that looks somewhat like the rest of my website (here: http://fiendconsulting.com ). I currently have just under 200 books listed in a spreadsheet. I can list them individually, making them look the way I want, using the PayPal shopping cart.
However, listing 200 books individually isn’t a fun prospect. And then I’d have to go through and remove the sold ones by hand; an even less fun idea.
I know I should be able to list these in a database of some sort, have a code that picks up the information from the database, and then generates a page of book listings by order of Subject, Author, Title, ISBN, Price, etc.

I can think about it in theory, but I really have no idea where to start. Or am I crazy? Help?

I’m not afraid of coding my own, but I’ve never worked with databases. Absolutely eager to learn.

I am trying to connect to my osCommerce database with the script:

?php
$osC_Database = osC_Database::connect(DB_SERVER, DB_SERVER_USERNAME, DB_SERVER_PASSWORD);
$osC_Database-selectDatabase(DB_DATABASE);
?

where I ofcourse have the DB_SERVER, DB_SERVER_USERNAME, DB_SERVER_PASSWORD and DB_DATABASE info. The problem that I am having though is that I am getting a Fatal Error the page says:

Fatal error: Undefined class name ‘osc_database’

I got this class from this source:

Any help?

THanks,

Gopher asked:


On my oscommerce site, when someone orders an item weighing 2KG (for example), the shipping charged should be £8.65 but it actually charges £21.85 which is the 10KG charge. The tare weight is set to zero and max weight is set to 20KG.

Why does this happen and how can I fix it?

which web hosting has the best ecommerce?

Candi asked:


I am looking at Yahoo small business and web hosting pad. I don’t want a shopping cart, i just want my customers to be able to use their credit card to purchase, kind of like Paypal.

I would want the least expensive ecommerce plan for the shortest period of time. And it all has to be easy to set up because I know nothing about web design. NOTHING!

What are some eCommerce alternatives to PayPal?

sonotleet asked:


Let’s say I have a business selling air guitars. And I want to make a website where people buy air guitars from me.

What steps should I take to move the proper amount of money from their credit/debit card into my account?

I want to avoid using third party companies. (Except for credit card companies themselves.)

Clearly, PayPal does this. So how can I?

Also: I am mainly looking for how to code this, but the general theory would be nice too.
