I am tying to set up a web site that I can keep trak of my inventory on and also allow people to purchase items from the page via credit card.

I'v been using a spreed sheet to keep up with everything but Im ready to try and take advantage of some new techonolgy.

This is a LINK to someone elses page that's what I am trying get just to give you some idea as to what I'm trying to do.
http://www.mountainvalleygrowers.com/herbplantlist.htm

If you will click on one of the links towards the bottom it give you an option to add to cart and also shows you in more detal about the itmes. I need help getting the shopping cart so that people can buy off my page or maybe some links to where i might find out.

Also the inventory is it something that I will still have to keep up with on my spreedsheet or is there away I can set my page up to AUTOMATICALY update when a purchase is made?

So what I'm hoping you can help me with is maybe some links to some places I can learn what I need to build this page.
Or some ideas or names about what i need to look into.

Anything at all would be a great help i'm just tring to get informaton.

Thank you so muchBasically, you need an eCommerce solution.  This is a fairly big deal, and you may wish to get some professionals to set it all up for you.  If this is going to be a major INCOME stream for you, it seriously is worth getting it right.

Two options I can recommend:

• The do-it-yourself route.  Start by investigating osCommerce or Zen Cart, two major free eCommerce solutions.
  
• A friend of mine has a LOT of experience in this area.  This is not just a plug for a friend - I am a pretty harsh critic, I'm afraid - it is that I genuinely think his company's work is excellent.  You could check out their portfolio - browse around >DRMediaGroup.com<.  No, I don't get any referral fees, although if you do hook up with him, do mention my name, since I'm sure he'd like to KNOW where the referral came from.  His name is Russ.  They're based in the UK but can serve clients worldwide.
