Install an on-line shop - Part 3

This weeks tutorial will walk you through the steps necessary to customise the installation of the popular Open Source shopping cart based on OsCommerce called CRELoaded that we installed in part 1.

In part 2 we added some products to our catalogue and in this, the final part, we'll add some attributes before going on to customise your on-line shop and a number of payment methods.

Once you’ve finished this tutorial you’ll have a working on-line shop installed on your computer that looks more like those that you see and use on-line.  However, remember that whilst it’s entirely possible to use CRELoaded to run an on-line shop, running it on a local computer as we’re going to do here isn’t recommended even if you’re on a broadband connection.

To run a real shop using CRELoaded you’ll need a secure server running PHP and MySQL, a domain name as well as the installation of the appropriate payment module for your bank as well as PayPal and NoChex.  What we’ll cover in this tutorial will illustrate the potential that CRELoaded offers.  If you want to take it further we suggest that you talk to your friendly eCommerce Advisor.
