Pete Swickles General Store

Security Certificate Set-up:
What is a security certificate? This enables you to perform online transactions safely. Your host secures certain processes (such as taking a credit card online) so that the information is safe.

What you need to do now… Purchase the Security Certificate online at the link below. It is also known as SSL.

We’re getting down to the end of development and need your help with a few things. This will require you to log into the administrative portion of the website to fill out some information. I’ll help you where I can, but most of the questions are for you and how you want to conduct your business.

The login for the site is (you’ll be asked to login to the admin once you click the link below):

• User Name: admin
• Password: pG-007_CCa

USPS
To enter information for USPS, go to this link (instructions are at the bottom of the form): http://peteswicklesgeneralstore.com/preview_html/admin.php?_g=modules&module=shipping/USPS

UPS
Next, visit the link below to enter the UPS information.

Both shipping modules have been turned on for the site for testing purposes, but entering in your correct information will not impede testing.

Content includes products (descriptions, pictures, etc.), about us, contact us, privacy policy, terms of use, help/FAQ (may already be included in the shopping cart) and you can start working on your first newsletter.

We recommend signing up for Authorize.net for your gateway payment module. Authorize.net enables your customers to pay via credit cards online and integrates seamlessly with the chosen shopping cart software.

The fee structure is comparative and fairly standard to other services like this one on the web:

I suggest taking a look at how this service works with their diagram located at http://authorize.net/resources/howitworksdiagram/.

Once you have signed up, please forward any confirmation email with login information so we can integrate the payment information with the shopping cart software.

If you find a different payment gateway module that you'd like to use, please consult with me first to make sure it integrates with the shopping cart software.

We recommend Host Gator as your hosting provider. The chosen shopping cart software (CubeCart) is included in the hosting package as well as a couple other features we will be using in development.

Package: Baby

There's a coupon/special right now that saves you 20%: BEACH (info on the homepage).

Once you have signed up, you will get information emailed to you that has login information. Please forward this email to me so we can have administrative access to your hosting provider.

We recommend GoDaddy for your domain name purchase. The site is a bit confusing, so once you sign up, please forward the confirmation email with the login information so I can administer your domain names so they will point to your website correctly.

Price: $9.99/year per domain

HTML development of the main pages of the site. This development will produce an HTML clickable demo as well as the necessary files for integration with the shopping cart software.
