osCommerce (Milestone2)  
osCommerce is a free (open source) php/mysql driven, comprehensive online shopping cart system that enables any business to get an online store up and running within hours of installation.

The osCommerce system employs a comprehensive shop 'owner' administration area where products are added via a 'point and shoot' interface, and a 'public' retail area where online purchases can be made by the public.
Features include, image upload, stock control, product reviews, new product listings, currency conversion, multiple language options, checkout system using iPayment, PayPal, NOCHEX, 2Checkout, PSiGate, SECPay modules, cash & cheque payment, or credit card payments that you put through your normal card clearing process... PDQ etc.

Note: Processing online payments requires that you have arranged Internet Merchant Account (IMA) with your processing bank.

The UK Trading (fully installed) version of osCommerce has been modified by our own in house developers so that you don't need to understand PHP scripting, or MySql database handling as you would if you downloaded and installed  the 'standard' osCommerce software yourself.

The installation of the UK Trading version of osCommerce, and initial setup is free when this account is purchased from us.

We also offer 'bespoke' website branding of osCommerce for you (colour schemes, layout, logo design, menu modifications etc), for a single, one off payment of £199.00.

If required, UK Trading can help you to arrange a WorldPay merchant account, which includes an Internet Merchant Account (IMA) ,and build a processing module into your shopping cart that will process credit card payments directly through your WorldPay payment gateway.
Price: £299.00 (plus WorldPay account fees)

Business ASP
ASP is one of the internet's favourite databasing applications for 'dynamic' database driven, interactive, shopping and online cataloguing systems, but because the Windows2000 IIS operating system has in the past, proven to be unstable, we discontinued hosting on the Windows platform completely.
However, we have now invested in a new Linux/Windows hybrid web server that has all of the stability associated with the Linux OS, and is also capable of running ASP database applications.

By running ASP on a Linux/Windows hybrid server, we have managed to overcome the instability that is normally inherent on a Windows IIS operating system.
