This is meant to be a subjective question on whether or not the PayPal Payment Button is considered a "hobby"-level feature in an otherwise professional e-commerce web application. Personally, I tend to cringe a little when I go to buy something and see a PayPal button in place of an in-house shopping cart. On the other hand, I'm sure m...
that's about everything I need to ask: after u call the process() method, I want to get Authorize.net response codes and text. Or is that not included in the library. All I can see are set_field() and process() methods ...

Hi, I would like to know what best non-paypal options are for paying users of your website (for services rendered for instance). How are others doing this at the moment? If you could mention specific services providers that would be most useful. This would have to work internationally, not be limited to one country. Thank you Upd...
"roll your own recurring billing in your rails app with a cron job, a date field for when they are paid through, and amount each person is paying" I just saw this entry here in SO and wonder if Automated Recurring Billing is really automated. Do I have to create a script that checks if it is already the right time to bill someone, bill ...

I have a prospective client that currently uses Miva Merchant as their e-commerce solution. They would like me to add functionality that I have done before with Magento. I know that Miva uses its own proprietary scripting language, but how similar is this to other languages? How steep is the learning curve to be able to modify core fu...
I am looking at taking on a e-commerce site, and what was wondering what everyone thoughts on e-commerce package vs bespoke solutions are, is it beneficial to just use a 'plug+play' system like osCommerce, or maybe using something a bit more robust but with a fee and use something like Magneto? Or would it be better for just to site do...
Greetings, i was ordered to build a portal where a user gets rewarded with points by buying to our company, and then those points can be redeemed by ordering some products according to those points. I need to know if there is any e-Commerce CMS that may work that way. the whole points assignation will be managed on another site, and tr...
I'm running an online shop and I'm trying to have the "purchase" (which is a form "post" action) post to two separate servers (one local and one remote) ... I think this might be impossible but I'm looking for a definitive answer. ...
Hi Everyone! I'm about to ask a tough question, and I apologize in advance for the fact that I'm a n00b at javascript! Basically I am looking to integrate MailChimp list signup into the WP E-Commerce plugin. If I understand correctly, this could be accomplished with Javascript where I send the data to two separate locations. I fo...
I have been going through all of the different PayPal integration options and trying to decide which will be the best one for this particular application. I realized that I really want to give users a few options for payment. For example, it might be more convenient to enter their credit card information rather than being sent over to ...
I'm building a proof of concept schema for a product catalog to possibly replace a very aging and crufty one we use. In our business, we sell both physical materials and services (one time and reoccurring charges). The current catalog schema has each distinct category broken out into individual tables, while this is nicely normalized a...

I recently inherited an e-commerce app (Java/Struts) that I'm porting to Rails. The thing is, we frequently have to do forensics on orders by poring through the log files, and with the old app's logs (log4j wall of text) it's pretty hard to make sense of the individual orders when several people are placing orders simultaneously. So I...
Trying to figure out how is product data/metadata schema designed. For example, how does an e-commerce site enter a product spec. Does it copy and paste from mfg spec sheet, enters it in their own fields or something else? Here is an example, looking at the D3000 Nikon DSLR Manufacturer: http://nikon.ca/en/Product.aspx?m=17300&disp=...
I am developing a rails site that will allow a group of merchants (5 - 10) to accept credit card orders online. I plan on using the Activemerchant gem to handle the processing. In this case, each merchant will have their own merchant accounts to handle the payments. Storing banking information like that is not something I am a fan of. T...
