Rosemary:

It really is dependent on the number of products your client is selling.  If
it is just a few then this URL should give you what you need.  You may not
need a full-blown eCommerce program.  You need  a little knowledge of Perl
but the instructions that come with the program are great an it is really
easy to set-up.  The outcome of the form is fantastic for such a small
program.  The product is called Merchant Order Form

I am not connected with this software in any way.  I have just used it on
several sites we have designed for clients.

Hope this helps.
