Sell from your site

If you are one of the millions of Britons who've idolised the God that is Alf Roberts, Get Trolleyed might be able to indulge you in your shopkeeping fantasies now that the Weatherfield womaniser has shuffled off this mortal coil. Beware, though, for the goodies on offer from Get Trolleyed are not for the faint of heart. Anyone lacking experience in the perl scripts department need not apply.

What you get for your money is a whole series of perl scripts designed to turn your humdrum and tedious Web site into an e-commerce extravaganza. Your perl and cgi knowledge is likely to be tested to the hilt, as you will need to make radical changes to the scripts provided, unless you really do have a product called Product1 manufactured by Acme.

Trivial pursuit

So what you must do is consider such trivialities like product databases, special offers, global variations, postage rates and VAT. It is possible, once you have joined up and received your username and password, to use the online wizard option. This lets you change key elements throughout your eCommerce experience using a quite respectable GUI interface. As often happens, though, tinkering deep inside brings greater results. You shouldn't worry if you make a start and find it all a bit too much. A highly detailed and informative help guide is always available, where you'll be privy to a vast amount of common sense information. There's liberal use of the word 'geek' too, which always lets you know if you're approaching a more technically spurious section, and a series of reduced banking packages designed to have you trading online as easily as possible.
