e-Commerce Module

Hi,

I've been trying eCommerce and Ubercart for the past couple of months and still have the same problem. As I'm importing over 4000 users from my previous site http://www.filmmaker.co.za to my new site http://www.filmcontact.com, I need to be able to manually set the subscribed, expiry date and role for each user.

1. at importing, all users automatically to be given authenticated role with an expiration date in 2011 (to show in their account 'order history') so that it is not empty .. or run a script to do that?

We would simply like to be able to make reusable discount coupons in Drupal EC, Drupal 4.7, EC 3.x. At present this doesn't work and the patch described below also doesn't work for us, although we might have a database problem here.

Please don't tell us to upgrade as firstly coupons don't work in later version of Drupal or EC, second making a system that isn't backwards compatible is not a sensible software architecture decision and should be discouraged.

Thanks

Simon

See our notes below.

I am using drupal 4.7, with ecommerce 4.7 and a re-supplied coupon module

So, you're a South African who's set up a drupal site and you want to sell stuff - and have your money put in a South African bank account. What are your payment gateway options?

Well, first off, you'll need to sign up for a merchant account at your local bank - who will want a business plan from you - and most banks charge you for the setup. Then you'll probably pay fees of around R100/month (?) for that account. The banks take between 5 and 7% per transaction ( ::sigh:: ). Then sign up with a payment gateway and you're ready to accept online transactions. The question is, which payment gateway?

I was looking at an easy paypal integration module for WordPress called Quickshop - it's a surprisingly easy way of adding simple shopping cart / ecommerce functionality to a WP site, and it made me think that there should be a similar way of doing this with Drupal. I've searched, but not found anything - the closest seems to be LM_paypal but it's only for subscriptions and donations I think.

Hi everybody,

I have been setting up drupal, using eC, on a job search and job posting website. It has gone along pretty well, and I have gotten under the hood far enough to adapt themes, make a little custom module that alters some forms ... basic things, but nothing fancy (yet).

Using ecommerce, is there a way to define shipping cost on a per product basis? I've got several different types of products for a site that I'm working on. All of them need to be shipped, but some don't need shipping charges while other larger products do.

Hi. I have been using ecommerce for about 2 years now with much success. I have a new need for it and recently installed version 4 in order to be able to use the commision ability. I am basically creating a site where members create nodes that contain information. Another group of users browse those nodes and if they want more information they purchase the node and the creator of that node gets a percentage of the sales.

I had assumed that this was possible with the new ec_commision module?

Guys,

im one of the members of eC Dev Team. But im very frustrated because eC development is near death. I joined the team march 2007 to expand, fix and enhance the brand new eC4. Our plan was to release the new program near to October/November 2007. We reached amazing milestones: reduced the number of bugs to a 1/5, reduced the code size to 2/3 and optimized brutally all aspects. Ok, it took a bit longer than the planned.

Good Day To All,

I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I am new to e-Commerce and I am planning to setup a site using Drupal with this functionality. I am familiar with Drupal but not with ecommerce. I just need an overview of what is needed to launch an online store. What else do I need besides Drupal and the e-Commerce Module. What security measures can I implement and etc. Any information or help is kindly appreciated.

Thank you,

Mark
