4. Can I just get my own copy of the Shopping Cart software to run on my own site?

No, Your business must be some how connected to the Greater Black Hills region (Western SD, Eastern WY, South-Eastern Montana, South-Western ND, North-Western Nebraska). Your online store does not have to sell specifically "Black Hills" items... you just have to be a business from this general region of the US.
We do not allow any Porno or Adult type of sites and of course nothing illegal is allowed either.

No. Simple question, and a simple answer.
Almost anyone can setup an account with places like PayPal and receive Credit Card payments. For us to process your Credit Card payments is a major bookkeeping nightmare... trying to figure out the taxes, percentages and everything else involved is not what we're in business to do. Especially when place like PayPal do just that... they make it easy for you to be in control of your own sales revenue.

There are a lot of different Shopping Carts on the market. We looked long and hard for a cart that would fill as many different needs as possible. The Dansie Shopping Cart allows for fantastic flexibility as far as OnLine shop owners websites are concerned.

There are 2 parts to running an OnLine Shop with e-BlackHills.com

1. The "Back Side", which is controled from a password protected Administration Area.
2. The "Front Side" where you make the webpage(s) you want folks to see.

1. The "Back Side" consistes of several "control panel" pages that give you the ability to control many different aspects of your online Shopping Cart. You can use the defaults as they are, or change it 100 times a day if you should so desire!
There is an OnLine DataBase program for you that allows you to easily add, change or remove merchandise from your OnLine Store. See the Demo Store for working examples.
The Shopping Cart makes it easy to change the language, choose which shipping models to use, change the colors of your website, etc.

2. The "Front Side" consists of the opening page you want your customers to see and any other pages you may wish to create, although additional pages are not entirely necessary. (We do also suggest a good legal statement page.)
Your opening page can be as simple as your name and or logo and then links to the different categories of merchandise in your OnLine Store. We can code you will use to link to your different categories or items you have. Or, it can be as complex and "fancy" as you or your web designer has the ability to make! (We do not support the FrontPage "Extentions", but FrontPage can still be used to make your web pages.)

If you are not able to create your own page(s) we do have web designers available for you. We make websites, and also can refer you to others in the area that make webpages.
