Firstly I apologise if these questions have already been asked, I have read a lot of information, but I am still unsure about certain aspects.
I am writing a proposal for a website that sells a lot of physical products online and I am trying to gauge whether Couch is up to the job.
I have looked at the CouchCart pages and tutorial and it seems to go a long way with what I need.
With release 1.4.5 and the Members Module will I be able to have registered customers for the shopping site that holds the data for their address and contact details that can be specified as the delivery address to which the purchased products will be sent?
Is payment integration currently only with PayPal? or can the Couch Tags provide the required information to link in with other Payment Gateways?
My client has two bricks and mortar shops and their own Credit Card Merchant ID, I need to know whether I can connect Couch to a separate Payment Gateway.

Does this make sense, is there a logical answer to this?
Or do we have to wait for V1.5?
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,

will I be able to have registered customers for the shopping site that holds the data for their address and contact details that can be specified as the delivery address to which the purchased products will be sent?

Sure. You can use either the 'members' module or the 'extended-users' module (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8581) for this.

Is payment integration currently only with PayPal? or can the Couch Tags provide the required information to link in with other Payment Gateways?

I think this will be a deal-breaker for you For now, CouchCart only supports PayPal.

A full rewrite of CouchCart (thus making it a full-fledged ECommerce option) is on the cards but is still some time away.

can the Couch Tags provide the required information to link in with other Payment Gateways?

I have a client that have a cart. Unfortunately, in my country, paypal not so famous, so i need to create a bank transfer method. Its a simple checkout button that bring customer to "Thank you, we will process your order soon after we recieve your payment" page, with my client bank account information. Then after the customer send the money throught bank transfer, he need to send a confirmation form that i made with databound form. That simple

Another method is stripe credit card payment. I follow this tutorial on stripe website.


Thx.

Thank you for the replies.
KK - Another couple of questions. With CouchCart, will it only talk to your Paypal integration? Or can the shopping cart get exported to something like Mal's e-commerce and on to a Payment Gateway, or is that unnecessary - could the cart generated by Couch be sent direct to a Payment Gateway such as SagePay?

For example everything in the CouchCart demo is perfect for what I need right up to the point when you click the button - 'Continue to Paypal', could that button continue elsewhere and carry all the shopping data associated with it?
thanks

@PixelAce

when you click the button - 'Continue to Paypal', could that button continue elsewhere and carry all the shopping data associated with it?

All the shopping data is available as Couch variables and you are free to use it as you wish e.g. forward it onto other payment gateway.

However, doing that would require writing some PHP code as each payment gateway would expect data in its own format. As you know, CouchCart contains code for only PayPal.

@GoingMarryAsap, were you able to integrate Stripe with CouchCart?
If so, would it be possible for you to share some working code with us?

Thanks KK, I'll keep you updated on how we get on - good and/or bad...

Sorry for late reply KK. Im still at hospital, no wifi, and all this medical stuffs make my 3g dongle signal sick (and this dengue really a pain in my ass).


About integrating stripe with couchcart, i use no special code. Its only code provide by stripe docs (actually a form with stripe.js as the action), and parts of your code from couchcart docs. Thing i mod is the paypal button, replace it with stripe button. Of cours you need to customize the form, make it save card holder name, phone number, bill address, card number, expired month, cvv. So you can use it later


I cant contact my client right now to ask the credential, so ill paste simple code that i remember here.

Code: Select all

<form action="" method="POST">
                    <script
                     src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
                     data-key="pk_test_s5PSJo39iwU4ZRuTWpzdxfpm"
                     data-amount="<cms:pp_total /><cms:php>echo '00';</cms:php>"
                     data-name="Demo Site"
                     data-description="1 Condom ($5.00)"
                     data-image="/128x128.png">
                    </script>
                  </form>

You maybe notice this : data-amount="<cms:pp_total /><cms:php>echo '00';</cms:php>"

Thats my dirty code, cos stripe amount use cent, 500 for $5 price. cos couch price set to "5" i put echo '00'; to make it "500". In what i got is, that form will store cc, and you need to proceed it from your stripe dashboard, try it.

Heres the docs : https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/checkout

Just that KK!

Sorry to know about your health.
Hope you are absolutely fine now

Thanks for sharing the code with us.
I personally haven't had a chance (yet) to work with Stripe but I'm sure it'll be helpful to others (and to me too when I finally get to work with Stripe).

Thanks again.

Thx KK. I hope i can back home the day after tomorow.
The Nurses here drive me crazy (you know what i mean )

Actually theres a php code to implement (in stripe docs), but my client gimme a day, so no time to coding it, thats why i use the embeded form method.

Im sure stripe cart will come in 145 RC 2
