Anybody here into website shop programming

[s2_wot]

Here's an unusual one

this is my website, we sell ventilation for passive houses. www.qualityhrv.ie

I want to add a shop to it which would be similar to:

https://www.powersprint.eu/en/home/ for example. On the bottom of that page there is a link to this company who do the shop part

http://www.oxid-esales.com/

and their price list

http://www.oxid-esales.com/en/products/professional-edition/prices

Would any of you wise folk have any suggestions as to how I could make a shopfront and not spend a fortune doing it.

It looks like you are hosted with hosting365, didnt they get bought out and now operate under register365.ie

It might be worth looking here : http://www.register365.com/ecommerce.html not bad for a test run of ecommerce.

or if you can look into your control panel of you site (cp.hosting365.ie) and see if they have the oscommerce module installed in there web suite.
If so you can setup an oscommerce shop with a simple checkout to get started ( auto email of order and then verbal completion )

check out zencart. Its open source, easy to code and has plenty of free support too. You can also buy pre made shops but there is no need really as long as your fairly comfortable with designing and have plenty of time..

Thanks men, that's exactly what I needed to get this search going in the right direction.

Honestly I haven't a clue who hosts it. So there is a chance that it's already there just not activated. I will ask now.

zen-cart looks interesting. They have loads of sample shops to look through which is excellent.

There are quite a few decent e-commerce software packages available which you can integrate with your existing website. The following are probably my favourite -

http://www.magentocommerce.com/

As Bo says, you can either spend some time learning how to design and build what you need to to get it working, or get pay professional to do it for you. You would expect a far higher quality design for your money.

You'll need to configure the system on your web hosting account, and make sure you have SSL setup for security when taking payments.

For payments, you will need an 3rd party payment provider who does the actual transaction with the customer for you, then sends you your money.

You'll have heard of worldpay and paypal already, but i'd look at http://www.sagepay.com/

HTH, and if you need and more help, just let me know.
