Additionally, there are four options for selling products and goods on the Internet using our Full-Featured Cart:

1. Downloadable forms. Very basic and the least expensive option.
2. PayPal Cart. If you have 50 or fewer items to sell, this may be your best and least expensive option.
3. eCommerce Off-Site Payment System. This allows you to have a full-fledged shopping cart with all the bells and whistles. But instead of forcing you to purchase an SSL to secure your site for credit card payments, your customers will be taken off-site to pay and then returned to your site once the transaction is completed.
4. eCommerce On-Site Payment System. This provides you with a full-fledged shopping cart with all the bells and whistles, and utilizes a payment gateway of your choosing along with an SSL (renewable annually) to secure your site for credit card payments, your customers will experience a seamless payment process.

To use this shopping cart, you may need a payment gateway, SSL, and a merchant account with your bank. These all allow you to take credit card purchases within your web site. There are separate associated costs involved with these items and you should educate yourself on each before considering our Full-Featured Cart.
