OSCommerce

osCommerce is an Open Source based online shop e-commerce solution that is available for free under the GNU General Public License. It features a rich set of out-of-the-box online shopping cart functionality that allows store owners to setup, run, and maintain their online stores with minimum effort and with no costs, fees, or limitations involved. BUT it is or can be complicated and it's power may make you hungry for more and we can help you.

You can have a basic OSC installation set up for you. Click here for more details.

Graith Internet have done a lot of work customising OSC and adding features for CarAudioDirect, TeamDirect, Z2Clothing, ZingsMusic and many other companies. We've won an award for our work on CarAudioDirect.

OSCommerce Hack

There has been a recent increase of attacks on OSComerce websites. Hackers exploit a vulnerability in the admin pages that is usually used for uploading product pictures to the /images directory. Several PHP files are uploaded there and are then executed. Server information such as the database configuration and sometimes credit card orders are displayed and captured.

Multistore OSCommerce

If you sell a wide range of products, your search engine ranking may be diluted if you put them all together on the same site. Putting them on a number of sites may involve too much admin work to be worthwhile. That's why Graith Internet have developed a multistore version of OSCommerce.

Integrating Components and Contributions

We can help if you want help integrating modules or components for OSCommerce, like the ePDQ payment module.

There are thousands of useful (and useless) add-ons for OSCommerce, but adding them to your site may be beyond the ability of most website owners. We can help and offer a cheap weekend service for this.

Shipping and Payment Modules

Although the OSC Support network provides hundreds of Shipping and Payment modules, it's sometimes impossible to find just what you're looking for. Graith Internet have written two payment modules (and was the first in the world to create code for Google Checkout on OSCommerce - though it isn't a payment module), and numerous shipping modules to ensure our customers charge the correct postage for the goods they ship.

OSC Free Gift

A customer asked for an OSCommerce modification that allowed them to give away a free torch when a customer sepends more than £25 and enters a promotional code printed in a newspaper. The contributions out there were far too complicated and therefore expensive to install (unless you get it already installed with CRE Loaded), so Graith Internet developed one that more nearly matches their purpose.

Google Base and SEO

Google Base used to be known as Froogle. It's the search results you get when you click the "Shopping" link at the top of the Google Search Results. Google has a special free service for people that run e-Commerce sites like OSCommerce. If you supply your product details to them in a specified format on a regular basis, your products will appear in this search and your site will be ranked more highly as a result. More....

SEO No ModRewrite: Some shared servers (including the ones we provide) don't allow webmasters to run Mod-Rewrite because of the load it places on the server. If you can't use Mod-Rewrite or would like more control over the URLs you have, then this modification is for you.

Customer Export

Export your customer data from OSCommerce for use in Magento or for Newsletter use. More...

Custom OSC Invoice for Stationery

OSCommerce has an invoice page which you can print out for inclusion with your goods. One customer has improved the handling of orders by getting printer paper with two shipping labels on and then getting Graith Internet to modify the invoice page to include the shipping and postage marks in the right place.

New Designs for OSCommerce

Graith Internet have produced many custom designs for OSCommerce. We can design something great or we can work from an existing design to make a new OSCommerce site that's unique to you.

Database Import

Setting up OSC when you've got hundreds of products is tricky, time-consuming and error prone. We can take multiple electronic data sources and convert them. These include Access or Excel databases, text exports or Word documents. These may need to be provided on CD-ROM if they're large. Data conversion will be done locally and then uploaded to the database.

Custom Details Page

If the standard details page doesn't display the details in the format you want, we can modify it to your requirements. You might want multiple pages to display al the information and you might want a printer friendly page too.

How did you find us?

If you place adverts in other media or on other websites or make efforts to improve your search engine rankings, you might want your customers to tell you where they heard about you. This OSC modification does exactly that.

Catalogue Request

If you produce a paper catalogue, here's a special facility to allow your custmomers to order it.
