8.4. Summary
In this chapter, I've guided you through writing an application to allow shoppers to view products you're selling and to keep track of the ones they're interested in within their session until they're ready for checkout. It's up to you to integrate a payment processor so they can actually submit their order (and you can make some money). There are a lot of different factors that come into play when choosing a processor and you would do well to read John Conde's article on the subject titled Solve the Payment Processing Problem and available online at www.sitepoint.com/article/merchant-account-review.
In the next chapter, I'll discuss how you can collect and analyze page hits to generate a website statistic report. Such reports can be used to better understand the effectiveness of a site and to make better business decisions.
