I've just picked up a contract to sort out a vipers-nest of e-commerce websites that a previous 'developer' left for one of my clients. There's about a couple of dozen of them using a custom shopping cart and CMS system that's too embedded to dump and works well enough, but desperately needs cleaning up, re-factoring, and bug fixing, so...
Hello, I was wondering if anyone know any Micropayment platform which allows transaction from gambling & adult entertainment websites. I've checked Paypal, Amazon FPS and Google Cash and they all prohibit the usage of their platform in gambling & adult entertainment. Maybe someone knows another solution (will probably have to be loca...
I've got a contract to build an e-commerce site. It doesn't make much sense to build it from scratch (rebuild the wheel). There's plenty of Open Source platforms such as osCommerce or Magnetocommerce. There's also some commercial platforms (I don't mind a small outlay if it's worth id) Does anyone have any experience building upon an e...
It would be awesome to say we'd use the same software as amazon, barnesandnoble, buy.com, etc, but they are all built custom (as far as I know). I'm looking for a software package with the following primary attributes: Scalable to the tune of millions of unique visitors per month Localizable including double-byte languages Accepts mul...

Hello all, I am in the process of implementing Google Checkout in an e-store. Once customers click the 'Google Checkout' button, my project requires that they are able to navigate back to the e-store to possibly edit the cart. Customers should be able to click the 'back' button, type in the URL to my cart page, or click the 'edit' link ...
I understand that there are big differences in data-store, but surely since django is bundled and it abstracts data-store away from Satchmo, something can be done? Truth is that I am not a Python guy, been mostly Java/PHP thus far, but I am willing to learn. Plus, if this is not possible today, lets band together and form a new Open So...
I have reviewed DashCommerce, nopCommerce and DotShoppingCart for possible use and all of them seem to not allow any way to do bulk product/category/manufacturer/etc imports from existing data (DotShoppingCart seems to allow it only in the paid version). The company I work for has some 30,000 products that we would need to load, and at ...
I am curious if there are any common patterns for partitioning a web application by features? An example would be to sell at multiple price tiers. What I am asking is there a common development pattern to partition features within an application ...
I've read through all the docs on the Magento E-Commerce website, but I'm still fighting with Magento to get my theme looking just right. I have the basic understanding of the XML file layout files, but all the template code is frustrating me. Can someone explain the basic tags and maybe give a reference or two on where I can learn more?...
As a Single Sign-On implementation, I think OpenID is great. Even so, is it necessarily a good choice for eCommerce? I know it can be used, but should it? Are you risking too much in putting all of one's access details in a single basket? What's the general opinion out there? ...
Are there any free eCommerce processing services (similar to Paypal or Google Checkout) just for non-profit organizations? I'm looking into setting up paid registrations for a summer-camp that is a non-profit organization. ...
My company is a Microsoft/C# focused. We are looking to offer e-commerce sites as apart of our services. We have identified a number of .Net opensource/paid-for e-commerce solutions that we can make use off, the down side of these is windows server costs. So Im looking for a Linux host-able e-commerce solutions. Can anyone recommend an...
I'm looking for a way to automate a transfer from one bank account to another, without the end user having to login to something like paypal or amazon payments to complete the process (by transferring their on-line balance to their bank account). I've looked around online a bit, and found some vendors that seem to be able to do that, but...
Are there any good open source solutions for building a B2B website? I don't mean middleware, I mean something that would do for B2B what oscommerce does for B2C? ...
I'm building an online store to sell products like "Green Extra-large, T-shirts". I.e., the same shirt can have many sizes / colors, different combination can be sold out, different combination might have different prices, etc. My question is how I should model these products in my Rails application (or really how to do it in any applic...
Recently a bug in our web store caused the prices to be doubled at checkout. This lead to a drop in orders from about 25 to 2 over a period of 19 hours. We have lost quite some money over this. What I wonder is: is there any way to measure how many of those "dropped" customers will come back and re-place their orders? ...
In my online store, I want to implement an interface like Amazon's for selecting product size and color. I.e., instead of radio buttons for the different sizes / colors, the user should see a bunch of little boxes, each containing either a swatch of color or the name of a size. When the user clicks a box, the border should change to indi...
In my online store, each order is associated with a shipping address and a billing address (they can be the same, of course). This is my first attempt to model this: Class Order belongs_to :billing_address, :class => "Address" belongs_to :shipping_address, :class => "Address" This works pretty well, but now the form helpers don't ...
