sales

Abstract

Drupal Commerce is used to build eCommerce websites and applications of all sizes. It was built with a framework mindset, focusing what you can build with it.

The project is currently maintained by Ryan Szrama and the Commerce Guys.

Not too long ago, Google announced FREE processing of your Google Checkout sales until the end of 2007. That's right - more than a year's worth of free processing!

From now through December 31, 2007, you can process Checkout transactions for free, even if you aren't an AdWords advertiser. If you're already an AdWords advertiser, you can process your Checkout transactions for free regardless of your AdWords spend.

This potentially affects folks who use Drupal's ecommerce and advertising modules. Wouldn't you like to use Google Checkout (GC) for your Drupal web site(s)? Before that's possible, we need someone to create a module. Unfortunately, GC currently works ONLY in the United States. Regardless, I'd like to see a developer step up and write a membership subscriptions-based, recurring credit card charges capable module and I'd be willing to make a small financial contribution. Here's a short GC video demo, but please read on for more info.

Is anyone working on a module to export the catalog to a suitable Google Base feed for Froogle?

I have a client that I switched over from osCommerce to Drupal.ecommerce. We found that having the feed exported to Froogle weekly dramatically increased sales at the store (from none to some). The philosophy behind Drupal.ecommerce could make the feed much more effective, but not necessarily easy to do.

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to start a discussion about making gig sales of albums/singles/eps count towards weekly soundscan/occ/chart track sales figures.

Especially for album launch type gigs, where it's standard to sell a lot of albums as the audience leaves the venue. In-stores can be a practical workaround, but, invariably it's a short set and you're at the behest of the retailer with what you can/can't do.

For small labels and independent bands, it is important to make every sale count. Not paramount, but, it is worthwhile, I think, to try and make every sale count towards the weekly charts.
