How do I add a Form (payment page) to a website?

Just designed a website in GoLive CS2 (using Mac G5). How/what is the best way to add a order/payment page to the site (never done this bit before!) ?

Well, there are two parts to this question. One is the presentation layer and the other one is the backend to actually do the payment process.

The presentation layer can be done in HTML.

The above is a simple order form, just the presentation layer.

However, you need something in the backend to actually process the payment. Do you have a payment process account somewhere (with Paypal or any other companies)? If so, in the action attribute in the form tag, that's where you need to put in the URL. If you want to manipulate the user input first before sending off to the payment process, you will need some kind of server side technology like ColdFusion, ASP, PHP, ...etc.

I am a web developer by trade. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss some more of your specific questions.

Be very careful. The site has to be secure or it may be hacked and your customer details stolen. You need professional help to set this up.
You would also come under the Data Protection Act if you are in the UK as holding customer details on computer require this.
Hope this helps.

hi, Luke is very perfect. notwithstanding, din't forget approximately the value of using a secure server, ( shows as HTTS:// on a browser ), while asking people for mastercard information. Ask your host provider approximately this. particular it is going to cost greater yet shall we face it, might you area with your info if the positioning you're on does no longer direct you thru a secure server. Regards. playstation In IE while on a secure server you will see the padlock on the backside left of your bvrowser. different browsers will prepare some thing comparable.
