Default Newbie to E-commerce

Hi

I've just created an static site and integrated with an 3rd party Shopping cart. Also, Signed up for Paypal for standard payment.

1. My friends wants another option where you don't need customers to sign up or create a new account to check out their items because my friend does not want to pay for the Unique IP address fee and SSL fee. Anyone know how to implement that?

2. If I use the Add to Cart buttons generated by paypal and add the HTML code on the the website, hackers can just go to the View page source and change the price which I don't want that to happen. So, they recommend to encrypt the buttons, but their support for encryption is really not good and I have no clue how to encrypt those buttons.

So thats my situation, Anyone has any good solutions ?

Switch to zencart and install Paypal Express(standard option in zencart)
Paypal express does not require new account creation, using zencart.

I also think that ZenCart is the thing to do it
It's a good soft, just need to take attention to it and make your business fly up

ZenCart security is fine, if you use latest release.
Having said that, used programme for over 3 years,
never had problem to date.
Never used GoDaddy shopping cart so cannot comment,
but have tried oscommerce and avactis, and will be
staying with zencart.

Hi

If you are selling physical goods, then Im not sure why you are worrying about hackers changing the prices? They still have to check out and you still have to check the order and post it? Or is it Digital donwload stuff?
