There are a lot of E-commerce elements, such as credit card transaction processing, that are not easy to learn. This book provides solid E-commerce solutions for PHP and MySQL developers
This book shows you how to build a site in three phases. The first phase puts the site live on the web, with an attractive interface and fully searchable product catalogue. You can start receiving orders right away, using PayPal's service to handle the shopping cart, checkout, and payment. The second phase adds facilities to increase sales through cross selling and upselling, enhanced customer service, and a better shopping experience. Along the way you'll build your own shopping basket and checkout, but continue to use PayPal for credit card processing. In the third phase, to reduce costs, you’ll find out how to automate order processing, and carry out your own credit card transactions through Verisign PayFlow Pro, and learn how to integrate with other systems using XML Web Services.
