Payment gateway

Working with Payment Gateway and Merchant Account features. Currently trying out Cyberlist and looking into 2CO as another source. This is an area I'm not very familiar with so it'll take some time to test the features out.

Almost ready for production...

Store is finally coming along. All products have been updated, catalogs fixed, prices updated, and, in general, the store is almost ready for production. I have to work on the payment tools next, but that should take very little time. After that we'll begin the marketing blitz to introduce Watermark Moon to the rest of the world.

Update on store opening

As the work progresses, I continue to learn of projects I need to complete in order to bring the store up. First and foremost is the Merchant Account. I've hooked up with Merchant Account companies in the past, but never secured one for the store. Now I have to re-check my options and settle on a vendor to provide the credit card services. I have a few other customizing programming to do but I'm trying to not get distracted by the real work that needs to be done. In addition, I'm have now updated the database with about 3500 products out of the 4500 products I have available. Still a ways to go, but I've cut a bit notch into the database update.

More updates...

Cleaned up the links and displays for the Amazon.com features - the books and music - and provided a new link for this blog.

Store is almost up...

After three years of working on Watermark Moon as a sideline hobby, I may be finally ready to bring the store online. After much persuasion by my wife, I decided I had to push to bring the store up - finished or not. I'm still not entirely happy with the content, or lack of, but I need to make this as productive as it's potential will permit.

About a week ago I brought up a new feature to promote to store's logo design. Using My Zazzle to produce the products, I hope that people will find the designs pleasing.

At this point we're also getting ready to move onto 3 acres we're purchasing - See our On Three Acres blog for a look at the challenges we've faced there. The land will soon become home to our private wicca and Native American rituals, an experience we've longed for but never had the land to enjoy them on. I really look forward to working with the store and hope that you will find it useful. I hope that you, as visitors, will provide me with productive comments that will help me develop the store to it's best potential.
