…Just had a call from Elfin Diaries Caroline. She says she keeps getting complaints from people that the website won’t load for them.
I have been trying to tell her for months that the Erol shopping-cart software that the site runs on is rubbish – full of depreciated tags, frames and buggy Javascript. So it’s no surprise that the site fails in some browsers. However, it’s the only free shopping cart software that will run with the Netbanx cc-payment scheme that she’s been signed up with for years. I’ve told her repeatedly that switching to PayPal will save her money (Netbanx charge a huge monthly fee, regardless of sales; PayPal takes a percentage of sales); she’s been reluctant to make the move.
Now, though, she’s finally agreed to make the switch. But she’s left it to me to look into all the PayPal options. Then I’ll have to rebuild the site in pretty short order. Oh well… best get on with it.
