Paypal is a popular way of sending and receiving money on the internet. It can be used by itself, or as a payment gateway/merchant account your website. While we don’t think that Paypal is the best option for a full-blown, professional shopping cart, it is a good option if you want to get your products on sale on the web, and fast.

Sometimes your e-commerce website needs are extremely custom, and would have a hard time squeezing into an off-the-shelf cart like osCommerce, X Cart, Prostores or Zen Cart. In these situations, we find that building a completely custom online store for you, that fits your every need, is a far better option for both your budget and the flexibility.

Sleepless Media specializes in building custom shopping carts in PHP/MySQL. All of our stores are SSL Security enabled and make it easy to keep your products and your entire website up to date at all times.

We use authorize.net exclusively as the payment gateway in both our osCommerce and custom e-commerce carts. Sleepless Media is an authorized Authorize.net reseller so please contact us if you are interested in signing up.
