RE: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Shopping carts

2006-11-22 Thread Rick Lansford
I agree with buying something, but only if it works. The last site I did had
some complexities that I just couldn't handle without doing it myself. They
had some items that shipped from stock, some that had a drop ship
arrangement and some bulk items that shipped by freight. That made the
real-time shipping calculations a bit cumbersome. Plus, they wanted
customers to be able to purchase by credit card or with an established
corporate account and to add sales tax to in-state purchases. I just
couldn't find anything off the shelf that would work.

Yeah except the price ratio goes way up for building it yourself. If
you can save cycles on development by buying something then it may pay
off.

Course you may have to fix their code so... might not be that
productive. Definately buy something that does 80% of what you need it
to do out of the box.

 Lowest price - build it yourself.

 It's not that difficult and if you just want a basic system, you can
create
 one that meets your specific needs then add on some bells and whistles
 later. I found much of the complexity of the off the shelf products were
 from an attempt to make a one size fits all, and trying to allow some
degree
 of customization. If you are just building it for yourself, then you don't
 need all those added functions.

 Just my humble comments.

 Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Shopping carts


 Anyone here on Saturday?

 I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations/feedback on CF shopping carts.
 I'm currently looking at CFWebStore and AbleCommerce. This is for me, not
a
 client - need to get my retail business online!

 Of course, I want everything at the lowest cost possible.

 Of importance:
 - Stability
 - Ability to customize pages quickly and easily (particulartly product
 display)
 - Very flexible product attributes
 - Ability to manage all site pages thru a single interface
 - Ability to capture CC info without actually processing it

 Any feedback is appreciated...

 Thanks,
 Dave Bellevue

RE: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Shopping carts

2006-11-22 Thread Robert Reil
Sounds like my situation.

To thicken the mix, I have many vendors, same part, different part numbers
Also that same part has many uses but those uses are proprietary info.
So I have a Many SKU=One PN=Many vendors=One Mfr Part no=Many vendor part
numbers. What a mess..
