Commision Abilities in Ecommerce 4

Posted by tpainton on June 3, 2008 at 12:50pm

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?

I have the Paypal Standard enabled and working and I see the commsions option under Receipt Types but I can't activate anything under it.

I also am unable to activate 3rd party buy/seller under the Paypal Standard options. It's grayed out.

Am I missing something? Is this simply not finished yet?

BTW, don't quit now. I love ecommerce and have really gotten to know it well. Nice work. I realize how much I get for free. Thank you so much.

c) It's not possible at this time.

Thanks!

ATM Commissions is not entirely complete.

If you activate the simple commission module then the author will get a flat 5% commission for each product sold. But as yet this does not translate into a receipt or a payment.
