Hi
On one project we cannot use paypal so we want to better understand Manual Integration of shopping carts
Our Merchant Account integrates with a wide variety of shopping carts including OS-commerce and Zen cart
Can those carts, for example integrate with both the estore and affiliate plugins?
We want to continue using your affiliate system…
What are the downsides if we are not using PayPal
Any tips for us?
Thanks
OS-commerce or Zen cart are very heavy weight and comparatively complex solutions that we are not a big fan of using on WordPress blogs. Those are shopping cart solutions, so I do not see why you would need to integrate them with WP eStore since they will be able to take care of the full shopping cart side of things.
WP eStore also has 2Checkout and Authorize.net gateway integration besides PayPal. So those can be your alternative to PayPal if you really want to stick to WP eStore for this project.
I’ve used Zen Cart in the past and it is very cumbersome (and I’ve been in web development for 10 years). For the consumer, there are simply too many clicks they have to go through before they finally pay for their product.
The less clicks the better. We’ve switch our site to WP e-Store / Affiliate and are doing the same for our clients, too. It’s simple to launch and simple for the consumer.. one or two clicks and they’re at payment.
Using WP eStore: I need to allow for the possibility that a customer might only select free products and not owe me any money. They are selecting a good number of classes (maybe 15 – 20) at a conference they’ll be attending, and we need to know what they have selected. Can they check out via Paypal if there is no amount due? If not, I don’t know how it will all get logged in their customer file. Manual checkout? If so, please advise how to set that up.
