ecommerce

Hi Everybody,

I have installed ecommerce module in fresh drupal 5.x installation. I followed the steps in http://www.drupalecommerce.org/content/installation for the ecommerce installation. If i go to create content --> product, i get 'Access denied' page for the admin.

I am newbie for the ecommerce module. Can anyone help with the installation and workflow for the ecommerce module. Is there any documentation available for the same.

Thanks in advance.

We have inhertied a drupal site (5.x) with eCommerce module that, when a user isn't logged in, displays the same cart and notes to every guest user until they login.

Obviously this isn't ideal. I have checked the module code and I assume that this is taken by the session id, however when checking the database entries the user id associated is always 0.

Can anyone shed any light?

Does anybody know what's going on at Visa? There are some discussions in the Ubercart world, but it is all speculation right now.

Today, entrepreneurs who own start-ups or small/medium business are faced with a quick need to setup e-business/ecommerce website with limited budget. They may not even know what tools are required or how to hire a consultant for their website development needs. I(as an entrepreneur with a small team) have been handling 5 to 10 such new clients per month from around the world. I thought it would be helpful to list out some useful tips and advice for such businessmen so that they can get their website developed with minimal hassles.

Here is a quick cheat-sheet for entrepreneurs:

Hello everyone,

I'm setting up a store based in the EU that will sell internationally. VAT rules are really complicated. Our accountants tell us we have to ask for customers VAT reg no., validate it, and whether we charge depends on which country they're in, etc.

But whenever I've bought stuff online, whether as a business customer or a consumer, I've never had to give VAT reg details, or anything like that. And I've always just been charged VAT, even in some cases when I shouldn't have been.

Hello folks,
I'm trying to work out a way to sell tickets to events in our calendar product. The idea would be that each event is also an ubercart product type. I'm using a cck date field to denote the event dates. Ideally we want to have this working so that a user could visit the event page, and purchase a ticket for a specific date as defined by this cck date field. The other caveat is that this needs to be automated, Requiring that a person enter in a new product for every date occurrence is just unfeasible in in this application.

Hi,

My friend has asked me to build him an e-commerce site. Has anyone any experience/advice of building an e-commerce site using drupal e.g.ecommerce module /ubercart module? Or is there a better alternative for this type of site e.g. OScommerce.

thks,
nolan.

As a follow up from a question at the May 26 meeting, I looked into what it takes to become PCI DSS compliant.
I thought I'd share what I learned. (PCI DSS = Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

Summary:
I don't think Ubercart needs to be PCI DSS compliant. However, if you use a partner like Authorize.NET to process the card, you can be considered PCI DSS compliant if you perform and attest to a self assessment.

Introduction

This is is intended as a place-holder for ideas on how Drupal can help a site admin in charge of a label/artist site.

In other words, as well as offering the obvious content editing capabilities I'd like to raise the question "what can Drupal do for You?" in the context of a site admin in charge of a label/artist site.

Using Aggregators/going direct using Drupal?

Big problem we're facing right now is that Magento have no core API for managing orders. Is it not possible also to set up any SSO solution to avoid Drupal / Magento double login. Any ideas or suggestions ?

We're actually planning to write some modules for Magento, but if you have quicker solution, ... :)
