Hello. Our congregation is an Angel Food Ministries Host Site. Angel Food Ministries sells several products each month. We would like to take orders using PayPal and have added the Inventua PayPal module to our site. We have added modules for each product and have added a PayPal list module. The modules work but our customers will have to order each product separately. /When they click the order button we would like them to be placed in a shopping cart where they can change their items, return to order more products and do a single checkout. We would ideally like to use the PayPal shopping cart. If we just use simple web pages on an ISP, we can use the PayPal button factory to create forms that call the PayPal shopping cart. How can we do this from within the portal using the Inventua PayPal module? If this is not possible, do you have another module that will meet our needs?

 

Thanks so much.

Paul,

Check out your demo installation that was created for you. We have installed a sample module for you there that allows for the "Cart" mode. (http://phunt.icthus05.com/Store/tabid/554/Default.aspx)

You can also do something like this http://www.illiancrafts.com/ShopOnline/KINDLE/tabid/977/Default.aspx which is the PayPal generated code used inside of an IFrame. This works great but does require the pages be built in HTML and sent via ftp to the server.

The "Premium" pacakge for hosting, which we expect out sometime this fall will include a more robust e-Commerce solution.

Hello. This is exactly the functionality we're looking for.The GXBuyNow wil meet our needs. If possible, I would like you to add the module to www.lcms01.com/oursavioraustin's web site. If not, can you tell me where the procedures for loading html pages I write that use the PayPal buy now buttons into our web site with I-Frames are located?

 

Thanks so much for all your help.

Hello. The module is working just fine. I have one final question in general. Under the advanced settings for modules we can choose to show the module in a container or not. What are the rammifications of this choice?

You provide excellent support, thanks so much.

Displaying the container also displays it's title. (There are special containers that will not display the title or headers rows for some themes).

We recomend always displaying the container, it places the module title in "Header" tags which is helpful for search engines. The module title should be descriptive of the content without being to long.
