Its awesome and so easy to use, but is there anyway you could go through paypal’s purchasing system with something embedded into your website, so users dont have to leave it? Or using another e-commerce provider that integrates w/ EE? Thanks!!

Hi there,

The only e-commerce solution that I know of and that I have ever used in conjunction with EE where you can add items to a cart and stay on the same page is Mals E. That can connect with nearly all of the big credit card providers and is a nice option. There is a free version and a small fee version too. Might be worth a look.

There was one I saw on the web a few weeks back called FoxyCart but I haven’t really ever tried that out and there is another one linked on these forums that one of the forum members is creating but unfortunately I can’t think of the name of that at the moment. Perhaps someone else knows what it is called? If they don’t then I will take a look tonight when I am back on my normal machine.

Hope that helps?

Best wishes,

Mark

awesome, thanks for the quick reply. Im going to have to check out that Mals E program.

Well not really that quick as I am probably in a different country to yourself and so would have been asleep when you posted! 😊

Hope that does you some good though.

With Mals-E I know that there is a way that you can add items to the shopping cart and never actually leave your site, it adds them in the background. You would probably need to put something on your site though so that people knew what had happened or it might be a little confusing for them but this is up to personal taste though. From what I remember you just place :

<input type="hidden" name="nocart">

into your form and it will not bring up the cart until you need it at the end using the view cart option.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes,

The FoxyCart + EE integration is here:

Kevin did a pretty amazing job with it, from the looks of it. (And from the feedback we’ve received from the stores that are using it.)

PS: I’m not sure this will actually post. Last time I tried I couldn’t.
