E-commerce in Plone

[AshRaghav]

Hi,

I am looking for some help in finding an e-commerce plugin to be used in the Plone 4.3.3 instance.

Requirements

1. Ability for end users to add new products with description
2. Ability to specify discounts as percentage or fixed amount
3. Ability to add amounts with and without VAT
4. Ability to integrate with payment processors (preferably Stripe)
5. Ability to email on successful payment

I have unsuccessfully tried bda shop and ftw.shop where the former had many dependencies that I need to update from my current pinned versions, yet the instance kept looping automatically between starting and stopping. The latter although it installed successfully, didn't have payment integration facility that I can workout.

The developers said I will need some good level of understanding of both Plone and Template libraries (TAL) to add a new payment processor. Plus, this module didn't support discounts which is key.

Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks

P.S. I agree that Plone 4.3.3 is a bit old now however unfortunately I am not a full-time developer myself and trying to fill the gap in the absence of one. We will imminently look at migrating to Plone 5 or 6 depending on our budgets and availability of resources.

Hi,

Actually bda.plone.shop would fit your needs and should run on plone 4.3.x.

yet the instance kept looping automatically between starting and stopping

I suggest to start installing vanilla plone with your pinned versions and start from there adding addon by addon to see which one causes your problem. Prior to this you can also try to delete all of your *.pyc files. Maybe something is messed up after updating.

@AshRaghav thanks for your interest in Plone, for this kind of topics, though, an issue tracker is not really the best place to ask.

Fortunately, Plone has a public discussion board: https://community.plone.org/ which actually has some questions regarding e-commerce and plone: https://community.plone.org/search?q=ecommerce
