Search engines and PHP
2007-03-03 03:55:01
Early this week we have received a request from one of our customers who drew our attention to the fact that websites working on PHP scripts are not indexed by search engines like Google, Yahoo and others. He insisted on this because his online store (powered by Shop-Script shopping cart software) did not appear in Google search results. Please be aware that this is mistake. Search engines do index dynamic websites, and it does not matter which programming or modelling language this website works on: PHP, ASP, C, C#, simple HTML or whatever else. Search engines do not see the source code of your website scripts, but they read the scripts output, similar to regular website visitors (though search engine bots don’t recognize text on images, Flash content, etc.). To make sure that search engines index Shop-Script based online stores’ pages, please take a look at the list of pages of Shop-Script online demos indexed by Google. If you already have a website or online store, b...

How do you fight credit card fraud?
2007-02-06 15:35:11
I believe almost every merchant who accepts credit card payments on her website has faced credit card fraud at least once - the kind of fraud where merchants are tricked by carders (criminals who use stolen credit card numbers to make purchases over the Internet). The kind of business we do is highly attractive to carders ? we sell software products, which are shipped over the Internet in a matter of seconds (there is no hard media shipping). Card ers are likely to purchase stuff which they will receive instantly, before a transaction had been recognized as a fraud. That is why the whole industry of online sales related to online products delivery (e.g. software, music, electronic books, website templates and many more) is influenced by credit card fraud. However, no matter what kind of online business you are in, if you accept credit card payments on your website, it means that sooner or later you will have to face credit card fraud. This kind of activity has really high volumes no...

Crucial elements of an online store
2007-02-06 15:35:11
I have been reading questions from Shop-Script users which we have received during the last couple of months, and found that many people are anxious about the facts that are really not so important when you only start online selling. Here I will list some issues that came to my attention which many newbies mistakenly find crucial for online selling and to which they are paying their attention; as well as issues which are of much more value but being ignored (though I agree that for various businesses rules are different, these are the basics which apply for the whole ecommerce industry). Stor e front design. I believe this is the most common mistake of online entrepreneurs: many of them think that stylish storefront design is the first thing they need to think about when establishing a store. If you goal is creating an artistic storefront which your visitors will admire, I agree that you should start by searching for a professional designer. But if your goal is online sales, exclude w...

Google Checkout
2007-02-06 15:35:11
Google Check out is an online payment processing system designed to offer shoppers with a Google account a quick way to pay for products and services. Consumers enter their credit card and billing information into Google account only once, and then pay for purchases at various Google Checkout-compatible online stores with a matter of few clicks. Even if you make checkout in your online store as simple as possible, a customer will have to input her shipping and billing information to place an order. This could be frustrating for a consumer, especially if she is about to place several orders in different stores. A customer is likely to abandon her shopping cart if prompted to fill out credit card and billing information again. Google Checkout is an attempt to resolve the issue and make consumers’ online shopping experience more pleasant. We are excited to announce that Shop-Script shopping cart software (PRO and PREMIUM versions) have been integrated with Google Checkout! Now Sho...

2007-02-06 15:35:11
