Hi everybody,
I am trying to get started in the E-commerce business, and I've browse the forum for quite a bit, and decided to use Zencart to help me manage my products and my site. I am using wampserver in order to set my e-commerce site offline at first, then once everything is set, I will upload them to my webhost FTP.
I've installed zencart successfully, created a database, admin ID/password, and manage to log-in as administration to my website, which is filled with a sample data from zencart.

My e-commerce business will be selling garments and clothes, probably around 20 models or so, nothing big.
The question is, what do I do now in order to have a fully functioning website where members can order their things online?
I am planning to integrate Paypal into one of the payment methods, and I do not know how to set up credit card payment.
How do i set SLL to make my site more secure?
How do you guys usually handle shipping for your products? Do you ship everything to the customers once per weekly?

I will be handling this website myself without help from others. So I will personally have to handle shipping, handing, and customer service.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
