I'm a virgin poster, and this might be a curly one.
I currently use 1shoppingcart.com as my cart, database etc.
When people signup as a member to my new site, I now want to give them limited access to member pages and downloads. Also, when they have bought a product, I want to give them private access to the product web pages. I would also like to know what they bought so i can recommend the next purchase.
How do validate their member logins, and restrict their access around the site based on what they have bought - when I CAN'T QUERY MY DATABASE remotely!?
Do I try and maintain a duplicate database which I CAN query?
Do I spend 50,000 trying to replicate 1shoppingcart's code? (shudder).
Do I commission a script to create a copy of my 1shoppingcart database every day so I can query it?
Is there a commercial cart/database/autoresponder/affiliate software available that is better than 1shoppingcart and that allows remote access?
Thanks very much, any help appreciated.
