Looking for tips, a client wants to sell from her website... - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

I am looking to set up a website for a client and one aspect of the site will be selling a book that she has written. She does not want to pay for a full ecommerce solution and using PayPal is messy when it comes to shipping and handling and taxes... (at least I have found in the past)

Someone suggested to me that I could set up an Amazon store for her, but I am not exactly sure what that entails, I am reading about it now...

I tried a WordPress plugin but it still has limitations when it comes to shipping and taxes...

Any suggestions?

If it's a single item then just add a single paypal button to her web site. If she wants to sell multiple products then she needs to use oscommerce.com or something similar.

www.zen-cart.com is what I use, and it is free.

Bit late on this, but you could use VirtueMart, an ecommerce plug in for Joomla.

I believe that allows you to add downloadable products to buy, and offers different types of payment gateways.
