(Tweet Tees) Online Store http://blog.jacobburke.com/2008/05/12/the-all-new-eat-sleep-tweet-tweet-tees-online-store/ http://blog.jacobburke.com/2008/05/12/the-all-new-eat-sleep-tweet-tweet-tees-online-store/#comments Mon, 12 May 2008 09:55:27 +0000 Jacob Burke http://blog.jacobburke.com/?p=68 Well as you may remember back on May 1, I wrote about how I had worked with Albert [@iAlbert] to setup the Eat. Sleep. Tweet. store using osCommerce.  Well, after the store was up and running, things took a downward spiral pretty quickly.  Orders would show up in PayPal, but nothing would exist in the database.  Buyers that had setup accounts to purchase items were not seeing previous orders in their account, and on top of this – Albert had to contact the buyers after the sale to find out what shirt they ordered (this data is not passed along to PayPal).

So, after much deliberation and looking around, he decided to go with an online store powered by Shopify.  I spent the better part of Saturday night and Sunday modding out a template that leverages Lightbox and some AJAX-y goodness.  The end result is a an online store that is more flexible and with a provider that we can rely upon.

I urge you all to check out the store, located at: store.eatsleeptweet.com.  The main domain of eatsleeptweet.com will eventually provide the public with more information about the company, contain a blog, and offer information about how internet show hosts can partner with Eat. Sleep. Tweet. for giveaways.

As for me, I will continue to help Albert get the word out about the store and the work he is doing.

There are some big product launches on the horizon, so be sure to follow @TweetTees on Twitter to know what’s going.

Cheers!
