A money raising scheme
I plan to set up a basic online store selling professionally printed photos, with the choice of framing.
My criteria for this project are that it must cost me as little as possible to set up and run, as well as, as easy as possible to maintain.
Costs can be kept down to a minimum by the following things:
- Already have a huge amount of web hosting space with my portfolio, so I will use a section of that for hosting.
- There is quite a wide chose of free shopping cart software available. The problem is finding the right one for me.
- By only accepting PayPal as a method of payment, I can accept credit card payments (from non-PayPal members as well) and all the processing of these will be done by PayPal. In exchange PayPal will take a small percentage of the same.
- I can upgrade my existing PayPal account to a merchant account for free. This will allow the above.
- My excising printer can print to a higher quality than most “home printers”, so with the right kind of photo paper, I can do the printing myself.
From this project I hope that I will make a little money, as well as making my feel more confident in PHP, MySQL and the general working of an online cart and e-commerce in general.
