Yahoo Store

Are there design restrictions?

[morpheus83]

I want to make a Yahoo Store for CD ROMS, Writers etc. I do have my existing website. Is it possible to make my yahoo store similar to my website or do design restrictions apply?

You can customize your Yahoo store to a point, but there are a few desing restrictions. I would recommend you look through sample Yahoo store sites.

Search for RTML, there is a good e-book out there that should help.

I've been using the yahoo store for a couple clients. What I like about it is the use of store tags which do allow you to make the system integrate in with your current site in a much more seamless manner than I have seen with other shopping carts. The dreamweaver plugin takes a while to get the hang of, but once you get it, you've got it.

Are there any online sources for RHTML

Before you make the Yahoo! store jump, check out a handful of existing stores using FireFox.

I have not found one yet that worked with it but you might....

I just bought stuff from two different Yahoo stores with FireFox/OSX last week...

How about the Yahoo plugin for Dreamweaver MX. Is it good?

morpheus83, Yahoo's latest Merchant Solutions for small business (that was released last September) can provide an easy, transparent store using your current website without having to learn all that pesky RTML stuff.

As far as design restrictions, I have seen none. Unlike the archaic RTML days, Merchant Solutions only requires you to add some snippets of code (for the price/orderable/buy button) anywhere in your current website, and it draws the information from the Catalog Manager database automatically.

For my client's that don't require a larger MAS 90/200 accounting interface, Yahoo's Merchant Solutions is a perfect fit.

I have more than a half-dozen clients using it (average of about 300 products/supplies), and they couldn't be happier.
