I'm using the versatility template and I would like to be able to accept credit and debit card payments online and how they can be secure transactions? I will be supplying a breakdown recovery service and I also want customers to be able to choose their selection and for each selection to change in price. The more services they choose from a choice of 5, the more the price increases and they get to see the total and if they deselect a service, the price reduces. If there is someone that can advise on this, it will be very helpful.
The website address is www.redrouteparking.com
Kind Regards
Paul

RockQuickCart would be the easiest to implement
www.rockettheme.com/extensions-joomla/rokquickcart
VM is the most popular Joomla cart solution with 'all the bells and whistles'.
www.rockettheme.com/extensions-joomla/rokquickcart
I suggest
A) Reading the documentation for both and consider what features you need, RQC may no have all the features you need (and features cannot be added), VM may have too many, but of course, you don't have to use them all.
Backing up your site and creating a dev site on localhost or in a subfolder of your site

Then installing one or both and testing them and then decide which is best for you. - Thanks,
jim

Hello Jem, Thank you for the reply. You always seem to provide quick and good advice when I put new posts up. I'm very grateful as you have contributed at least 65% in helping me to get my webiste where it is today. I'm unsure what you mean by creating a dev site. Also is VM the quickcart with all the bells and whistles you have suggested would be easiest to install?
Will I be limited to the payment gateway I can use. I noticed that it only mentioned paypal and google gateways. My payment gateway will be supplied from Sage UK. So will this mean I will not be able to use Quickcart.?

'dev site' = development site = a site that you develop what you want on your site without impacting the live site.
It's never advisable to add untested components to a live site and try to configure them.
E.g., you want a shopping cart but you are not sure what to choose, others want galleries(etc.), but don't know which component will fit their needs exactly.
So, you create a development site by making a copy of your current site.
We usually suggest using Akeeba to do so.

Then you create a dev site with the back up on local host or a sub folder of your host (if you are creating the dev site on your host, remember you will need a new DB).

You can test and develop on the dev site and when you are ready to go, apply the changes to the live site.
The best thing about a dev site is you can make changes and mistakes with impunity, i.e., experiment and learn w/o taking the live site down if you make a mistake...
Will I be limited to the payment gateway I can use. I noticed that it only mentioned paypal and google gateways. My payment gateway will be supplied from Sage UK. So will this mean I will not be able to use Quickcart.?
Yes, that is correct, if RQC doesn't meet you exact needs "as is" then you should choose another cart solution, VM or otherwise.

- I've looked into sage payment gateway and eway. Both seem like they would provide a gateway to accept online payments which means (I think) I may not need to use the quickcart or DT Register from Joomla, would this be right?
