Accepting eftpos payments

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 02:00:24 GMT

Hi.

Can anyone please assist in advising how my client can collect eftpos card details and allow the user to purchase their products? They don't have an eftpos machine. They do have a current payment gateway to process online transactions via their website, but that only allows for credit card / COD etc options.

Ideally, when a customer walks into their shop, they'd like to be able to take down their eftpos card details and enter them into the system to allow them to purchase their products. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Re: Remove product from cart AND go to catalog with 1 button

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 19:18:36 GMT

I was messing around with it and figured it out.

I changed the onclick value ...false to ...true.

Apparently this allows the href value to be used after the onclick function has run. Here's the jquery i used to make the change.

$(linkA).attr('onclick',$(linkA).attr('onclick').replace('false','true'));

I hope this helps someone else.

Re: Stop cash payment method showing order as paid in receipt and orders list

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 18:49:36 GMT

In case anybody cares I have found a way to overcome the issue:

I call a PaymentCheck function from the payment form. For Cheque (2) or EFT (4) payments (or any others you want to add) I changed the form action parameter to the same as used for the quote form. Note in example below the checkWholeForm42059 checks the form entry as standard. WebFormID=10851 is my request quote form ID - yours may be different of course.

//<![CDATA[

function PaymentCheck(theForm)

{

if (theForm.PaymentMethodType.value == '2' || theForm.PaymentMethodType.value == '4')

{

document.getElementById('catwebformform42059').action = "/FormProcessv2.aspx?WebFormID=10851&OID={module_oid}&OTYPE={module_otype}&EID={module_ei d}&CID={module_cid}";

}

return ( checkWholeForm42059(theForm) );

}

//]]>

Remove product from cart AND go to catalog with 1 button

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:46:35 GMT

How can I modify the remove item from cart button to also go to a catalog when the item is removed on click?

Here's the button:

<a href="/all-ttha-gear" onclick="UpdateItemQuantity(0,324401,282161,9383705,337215,'','US');return false;">Continue Shopping</a>

I used javascript to change the text to "Continue Shopping" and changed the href value from "#" to "/all-ttha-gear".

This link is being displayed in a modal when a user drops the shopping cart total below $40. I want them to click continue shopping and have it remove the bonus item from the cart.

As the a tag is displayed above, it removes the correct product but stays on the same page.

Any thoughts?

Here's a link to the test site.

Re: Product Filtering on Ecommerce Site

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:47:53 GMT

You could use the tagging feature for this type of build. Something along these lines: -add tags to your products (Color, Product, Size, Material, Price, Manufacturer)

-on a page insert this module - {module_productfeaturelist tag="{module_url,tag}"} - notice how we pass module_url as the tag to filter by - http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/dev-assets/reference#!/module-reference/pages/module_url. html!named-params

-now if you go to http://perfume10.worldsecuresystems.com/tagged-products?tag=color or http://perfume10.worldsecuresystems.com/tagged-products?tag=product only the products tagged with "color" or "product" are shown.

We are about to release the new Product v3 APIs for products in the near future, when those will be available this type of filtering will be alot easier to implement and you will be able to filter by more complex conditions.

Product Filtering on Ecommerce Site

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 03:13:08 GMT

Does anyone have a good solution to provide product filtering for an online store??

The {tag_browsepanel} is too simple and only allows for price search. Would like a similar function to occur, but based off of assigned categories that would be assigned to the different products.

The client needs filters set up for criteria such as:

Color
Product
Size
Material
Price
Manufacturer

Would liquid be any help in this? Is there any known plugin that works efficiently with BC?

Re: Questions for creating a multi-country ecommerce site in Business Catalyst.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 22:03:50 GMT

How to setup a multi-lingual and multi-currency site

yes you can go to the product and
yes, go to prices and set up pricing for each country via the drop down, then set up a subdomain for each country this will show the appropriate currency symbol and price, use a drop down or js to redirect the customer to the correct country.
it is better to us a subdomain to avoid duplicate content issues for seo or if you use multiple domains use canonical tags and point to the default .com domain

Ecommerce invoicing and tax caluclations for multinational stores where all prices are stored as rrp with tax included

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:42:22 GMT

We have a client that has a large ecommerce store with around 900 products.

The below scenario is stumping us and have found only one real work around but it requires using 3rd party apps to do the invoicing.

Any suggestions from Partners or devs that have a similar issue would be greatly approciated.

Taxation – Current prices include tax, need pricing schedule for countries

Currency 1 is $AUD and GST tax rate. Prices to be entered as inc tax. Tax deduction to calculate back from RRP
Currency 2 is £GBP and VAT rate. Prices to be entered as inc tax. Tax deduction to calculate back from RRP
Sub domains needed for each currency
Deduct the tax for none tax countries
Calculating or reporting on tax amounts for BAS

Comments

Potential is TWO currencies. Each to have RRP entered manually.
Which currency displays will depend on where customer access to website is from. AU will show for all world initially, later to be broken down as AU (for AU, NZ, Oceania, Asia,) £GBP, for rest of the world Deductions automatic for all consumer retail purchases when customer is outside

Testing
- using discount code hidden in shopping cart to detect country from drop down and then removing tax from rrp (or using JS to detect url and adding code automatically, this has been tested and is working)
- invoicing for different countries to be different
- using the api to remove the tax for non tax countries
- using api to retrieve tax summary

So far the solution we are suggesting but there might be issues with syncing with a server hosted Myob Accounting package

Specifications for SET up

Accounting package - MYOB is Account right plus. Just downloading V2014.16.7861
BC shop has about 900 products
Options for syncing data
- http://myob.com.au/addons/listing/41/transpost/
- http://www.onesaas.com/integrate/myobaccountright-with-businesscatalyst (looklike this might not work with server hosted)

Systems restrictions that we can’t get around

Invoicing - for some reason there is only one system invoice, if this was not the case we could easily set up different invoice formatting and content for each region and apply appropriate tax calculation.

Proposed set up based on findings

based on extensive consultation with Business Catalyst, reference material and testing the following configuration and management is the best solution and in some cases the only available solution to satisfy the criteria set out above.

Sub domains for regions

3 regions should be set up UK, AUS and Rest of the world. UK and Rest of the world should use subdomains while Australia would use the default domain. UK.dccconcepts.com, world.dccconcepts.com and dccconcepts.com

Displaying different currencies

Subdomains and using country drop down in the shop to direct people to the correct currency symbol and pricing.

Deducting tax from rest of the world.

As the discount system is not in use we are able to create a script that will deduct the required amount when shoppers are in this region by checking the url they are on and applying the discount. Their order total would then reflect price with the deducted amount.

Invoicing

As every order is checked manually we are proposing that the system invoice is modified to show the order total and explain that a sales invoice will be sent out once the order is finalised with tax, shipping and order modifications if required.

The order informatiuon would be sent to the accounting package via onesaas.com sync up

http://www.onesaas.com/integrate/myobaccountright-with-businesscatalyst, this needs to be further investigated to make sure it works as advertised. Or http://myob.com.au/addons/listing/41/transpost/ ( this would be a more manual process but looks like the better option for syncing with a server based myob)

You can then apply your tax, shipping and amendments and add tax exempt labels just like you do now with server hosted package to the level of detail you wish.

Reporting BAS would then be as per your normal account process.

What I find very frustration is that eCommerce is supposed to be multi currency , muti national but simple things like have a different invoice for each region created like they have with a separate shopping cart for each region and VAT, BAS and tax reporting a fundimental activity for business in all countries is lacking

Again any incites or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Affiliate commissions

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 25 Oct 2014 08:10:45 GMT

Well here is the answer, after many days with support.

I could not understand -

1) why it would not work

2) I could not see any reference to the Customer in the Affiliate activity sheet - just a comment that the affiliate link was used.

3) I could not find any reference to the Affiliate within the Customer data.

Reason: It only works if the customer buys something in the shop after getting there using the affiliate link.

In other words if they go there by the link, but close down their browser, and then return later and go directly to the website, and buys something, the sale will not be registered within the affiliates commission.

Worse than that, by not storing the the affiliate's right to that customer's sales, it stops the use of the affiliate system for the thousands of businesses that could use the system but don't use the shop, but may enter orders manually.

Stop recurring orders sending out invoices (invoices go from Quickbooks - not BC)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:14:00 GMT

Our client needs to create subscription orders in BC against a client, these recur once a month. BC automatically creates and emails an invoice against these orders. However the client wants to use Quickbooks for their accounts to create and send the actual invoice, and BC simply as a CRM system. BC is automatically creating and sending invoices every month for the clients against the order raised in BC - effectively duplicate invoices of the Quickbooks invoice - which we do not want to have sent out.

Can the automated invoicing be switched off in BC or is there a way around this.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 19:36:06 GMT

Hi,

I want to change the output of {module_shoppingcartsummary} and i have created an shoppingcartsummary.tpl that is placed within /Moduletemplates/shoppingcartsummary.tpl.
On my shop template i have an contentholder with this {module_shoppingcartsummary template="/ModuleTemplates/shoppingcartsummary.tpl"}.

I want the shoppingcartsummary to show something like this instead of the default layout :

Productimage	Productname	Price
Productimage01	Productname01	USD10
Productimage02	Productname02	USD10
Productimage03	Productname03	USD10

Within my shoppingcartsummary.tpl I still have the default layout:

2 items(s), Total USD0,00

div class="cartSummary empty{tag_isEmpty}">

<div class="cartSummaryItem">Shopping cart is empty</div>

</div>

<div class="cartSummary notEmpty{tag_isEmpty}">

<div class="cartSummaryItem">{tag_itemCount} item(s), Total {tag_currency}{tag_totalAmount}</div>

<div><a class="cartSummaryLink" href="{tag_cartUrl}">Go to cart</a></div>

</div>

and I have added this to my css:

.empty0 { display:none; }

.notEmpty1 { display:none; }

and it all works fine but I need the shoppingcartsummary to behave like a "light-weight" shoppingcart that just give the customer an easy way to see whats inside the shoppingcart (and delete items) without having to leave the page he is on. I cant use the shoppingcart tags inside the shoppingcartsummary.tpl but perhaps someone knows how I can use {tag_productimage} etc in this layout?
