Tips:
NEW in v1.1: You can now choose to accept "offline" payments (or no payment at all) with email-only integration. Simply get notified via email when a new order has been received. No need for customers to make payment online automaticaly. This is also ideal for bank transfer payments, checks, invoice/account or other offline methods. The customer's details can optionally be captured on the checkout page (first name, last name, address, city, state, zipcode, phone, email). Developers (with basic HTML experience) can easily edit or add fields for the customer to enter. These will automatically be added to the notification email, you don't have to edit any other code.
If you want to sell digital products using eCommerce Express, one of our users has used "Linklok" and recommends it. You simply leave the "thank you" URL blank (in eCommerce Express settings) and let Linklok take care of the digital delivery of your product (it's just $29.95). Since this is a 3rd party product, please note we can't support it, but you can contact the Linklok developers for support.
If you don't have a Paypal account yet, sign up now. There's no setup or monthly fees. We recommend Paypal and use it too.
Advanced Tips:
As of v1.3 developers can create their own payment gateways which integrate with eCommerce Express without having to touch 1 line of code in the eCommerce Express package. This makes it more scalable, flexible and update-friendly. We've made it as easy as possible to extend eCommerce Express just the way you want to. Developers will need some PHP and Javascript knowledge and a basic understanding of the Concrete5 framework will help. Developers can even sell their payment gateway packages in the Concrete5 marketplace and keep 100% of the profits! Please download:
