Purchasable Content Types

Types can be Dexterity or Archetypes. Make your own content type purchasable using a behavior or schema extender. (Note: Archetypes support in Python 2.x only)

A product can have other products related to it so that they can be recommended at the time of purchase. When users review their cart, they will be presented with a list of recommended products populated from the Recommended Products fields of all the products they're about to purchase.

Cart Stored in ZODB

Shopping cart data is stored in the ZODB rather than in sessions even for anonymous users. This makes it easier to deploy when running multiple Zope instances.

Integrating the Package with Your Content

Add the "Jazkarta Shop Product" jazkarta.shop.interfaces.IProduct Dexterity behavior to each content type that you wish to use with jazkarta.shop, either through the web or programmatically in your code.

To add the schema extender on Archetypes content types, programmatically implement the interface jazkarta.shop.interfaces.IATProduct on your content class or otherwise provide the interface on individual instances.

When creating instances of your content type, make sure to set the weight and unit price on each one. This is will appear under the "Shop" fieldset when adding/editing your object.

Minimal Configuration/Quickstart

Proceed to the "Jazkarta Shop Settings" to configure a payment processor, optional shipping method API keys, shipped from address details as well as a receipt email message.

Proceed to the "Jazkarta Shop Shipping Methods" to setup a shipping method. Destinations are grouped by shipping zones "Alaska, Canada, East, Hawaii, International, Midwest, US, West"

It is important to select at least one shipping zone for your shipping method(s) to show up once the shipping address has been entered during the checkout process.

Currently available zones can be seen in detail here:

WEST = {
    'AZ', 'CA', 'CO', 'ID', 'MT', 'NV', 'NM', 'OR', 'UT', 'WY', 'WA'
}

MIDWEST = {
    'AL', 'AR', 'IL', 'IN', 'IA', 'KS', 'KY', 'LA', 'MI', 'MN', 'MS',
    'MO', 'NE', 'ND', 'OH', 'OK', 'SD', 'TN', 'TX', 'WI',
}

EAST = {
    'CT', 'DE', 'FL', 'GA', 'ME', 'MD', 'MA', 'NH', 'NJ', 'NY', 'NC',
    'PA', 'RI', 'SC', 'VT', 'VA', 'WV'
}

Administration

Three control panels are provided.

Jazkarta Shop Settings

This control panel allows configuration of:

  • Which payment processor to use
  • Payment processor keys or login information for development and production use
  • Subject and introduction for receipt emails
  • Product categories
  • Minimum stock level
  • Shipped from name and address
  • Shipping handler keys or login information
  • Which tax handler to use
  • Optional Taxjar API token
  • Optional after-checkout callback URL

jazkarta.shop requires the environment variable JAZKARTA_SHOP_PRODUCTION to be set to True when it is running in production mode. eg:

[buildout]

...

parts +=
    client1

[client1]

...

environment-vars +=
    JAZKARTA_SHOP_PRODUCTION True

Jazkarta Shop Shipping Methods

Named shipping methods can be added and edited. Each shipping method specifies the geographical areas it is used for, the shipping fee calculation method, minimum and maximum weights, and optionally a minimum purchase amount.

If using UPS or USPS shipping methods, please make sure the revelevant API keys are added in the "Jazkarta Shop Settings" control panel.

Jazkarta Shop Orders

This control panel provides a table of order information such as date, items, shipping information and price. Orders can be filtered by date and exported to CSV.

Basic Notes on Use

For each content type that has the "Jazkarta Shop Product" behavior enabled, an "Add to Cart" button shown when viewing the content type. This allows the user to add an item to the cart. A clickable cart viewlet "My Cart" is used to display the shopping cart in the site header. It contains a "Checkout" link to the /review-cart view. /review-cart and /checkout views can be used to modify/update cart contents.

The basic use flow:

Click "Add to Cart" button -> Click "Checkout" in viewlet -> /review-cart -> /shipping -> /checkout -> Complete purchase

Events

Clicking on the "Add to Cart" button fires an item-added jquery event, which can optionally be used as a hook for custom js code to alert the user that the cart contents have changed.

Future Work

Promo Codes

Promotional codes for discounts can be defined and applied to a shopping cart. Currently a promo code widget is visible on the Shopping cart (review-cart) view, however this functionality is not complete.
