I have been asked to develop an ecommerce solution for a US wholesale distributor. Have some working knowledge with Mals e cart and several sites using this with limited needs sucessfully.
But this site will require moving a excel spreadsheet with 1000s of products into a database format then into a php template oscommerce or zen cart model it think.
I am really a newbe here and not a coder by any means. I have done some basis thread reviews and a little research online (enough to be dangerous) Buying a add on tool to make this easy for myself and my customer to update is paramount. Can any one give me the english version on the easiest best way to implement this process and what steps will help me do this effeciently.
Hi, Anthony. I use ClearCart, which is a simple, yet powerful ecommerce suite. One of the things I like best about it is that the graphic user interface is very simple. The customer service has been very good, too.
Thanks for your response. I looked over Clear Cart and this is certainly of interest, In the future with new clients I will consider this but I already have a hosting company for the client and I am not looking for a monthly fee setup to manage it. More of a package tool to work with Freeway Pro on Mac if this exists.
If you or someone else reading this can recommend another solution that I can buy or license that would better suit my current needs. Great information with Clear Cart much of it has great value.
Anthony, have you looked into Filemaker as a possibility? I believe you can do exactly what you want. You put this thing together and serve it up completely in Filemaker. There’s tons of info, helps, consultants in the Filemaker community worldwide and I think even a Freeway action for Filemaker.
Filemaker is completely cross-platform and is easy to use like Freeway, has unbelievable power and depth and is a company owned by Apple Inc.
