Hello,
Great points.
Both the client and myself don't know too much about this.
I guess I'll have to do more research before I can say.
Thanks, I'll look into this.

Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] Two part question: Shopping carts & E-commerce
Since I've yet to work w/joomla, would it be a good idea to try to set
that
up for e-commerce.
I remember a few days back, an answer to my Framework question, some
responding saying
they had great success with joomla & e-commerce.
Joomla is a CMS, it really has nothing to do with e-commerce however
it is common to integrate cart software with a CMS.
miva, cart32 or shopsite are carts? I didn't know that. I guess that's
what
THEY (the client) want to use.
Any experiance with those?
They will not work with a PHP site. Most Cart software is pretty much the
same.
Im googling right now and it says miva is a merchange account as well.
http://smallbusiness.miva.com/products/merchant/
and shopping cart software
http://smallbusiness.miva.com/
I know it is a bit confusing because terms like "Merchant Account" and
"Gateway" mean two different things depending on what you are doing...
There are two options:
1) Have a 3rd party charge the cards and they give you the funds
(PayPal/Google Checkout/Miva Merchant)
2) Charge the cards on your own site -- You need a merchant bank
account with Chase, and a payment gateway.
Before you go any further, which route does you client want to go?
There is a big difference.
