The Commerce and Advanced Commerce licenses add the shopping cart function and the orders list icons to the admin interface. If you sell items online, your orders will appear here. The credit card information, if providd, will be viewable here. Manual or automatic processing can be set in the system tab allowing several cart options. You can create products for purchase using the Product and Product Catalog templates. Editing these allows you to set product price, shipping cost, and other options.
Taking credit card orders requires secure hosting, a merchant account and a gateway like Authorize.net which can automatically deposit funds into your checking account. Other payment acceptance methods include PayPal and purchase orders.
