Welcome
If you are reading this page then like us it is likely that you have been struggling with finding a solution that will allow you to sell your prints online
History
We have been looking for a solution for ages now, yes there are good services out there that can sell your prints for you, we have looked at a few but wanted a solution that was not dependant on others, it could be that just as you get your name out there, the service stops, hikes it prices or closes
Conclusion
We are happy with SlideShowPro but as there is no PayPal Cart plugin we decided to develop one ourself, I work as a developer for accounting packages, so I do understand the logic, not being a Flash developer I am having to learn as a go along, and my code solutions are written from the logic I know, looking at the online examples, they are either not enough of an example or to complicated, it is hard to find simple online answers
Analysis
What do we need from a Cart option, we think the approach should be that of K.I.S.S, "Keep It Simple Stupid", with this in mind what are the elements, the images are displayed in SlideShowPro so no problem there, flexibility is key, different print sizes and types, different quantities, shipping, tax and the price needs to be set by Size and Finish not by Image, how is this information going to be stored and displayed, when the buyer leave the page the information needs to be saved, and on checkout, open a new window |
