Roman cart

[martin goddard]

The Roman cart paypal method does seem to be causing  unnecessary problems.
This is bad.
I will try to dig into it some more.
We may even change shopping cart supplier.

The world of websites has changed a lot over the years.
This refers to smaller, often unlimited  companies such as Peter Pig.

In earlier days a company would buy a website package outright. Frontage, I web, Serif etc.
Then they would find a host for their website. Demon etc.
Then they would register a name and pay/store that.


The now providers are created mostly for those with a small number of items (50-200) who would like a one point  purchase for everything. The method used by this new breed are  keep the website on their server/storage, use their software they  look after your web name etc....
They charge fees for everything they can and hope you  feel trapped enough not to move.

We will look around for a self hosted shopping cart and see what there is.

Should we employ a web person? Not really as we are now making a loss. Would their work amplify sales? Possibly but certainly not definitely. They work on professional rates, we work on hobby rates.

We're you ordering the 3 for 2 rules?

That was the problem. Ordering figures wasn't a problem.

No rules Sean. I have All the rules I can manage.
