We will during this hour, show how to place an electronic order form component on a website to sell agricultural goods.

It should be noted that only one of many possible methods of selling via the web will be explored in the allocated time.



In this session, we will assume:

•A valid website already exists

•We have only a few items to sell at one time

•Shipping is either a fixed amount, or buyer picks up





Before selling we need to determine:

•The selling price

•The amount, if any, we will charge for shipping

•Options about the item(s) we are selling. For example color, size, etc.



For payment and shopping cart processing, several options exist. Basic differences are:

•Remote or Local

•Locally hosted (pros & cons)

•Remotely hosted (pros & cons)

•Secure vs. Non-Secure
