Vibracart Shopping Cart extension *Paid* [20.06.11 UPDATE]

[Strodlee]

Thanks for making this extension me.prosenjeet.
Pity there is no try before you buy with this, but never the less even though the price looks a bit steep at first glance I think it would be well worth it for the convenience for the shopper of not having to go back and forth to the PayPal site.
It's good not having to leave the merchants site, but even better not having to leave the page until you are ready to.
(less abandonment could easily cover the cost).

A question please:
Does it have any advantages over the PayPal mini-cart ?

I am sorry I have not tried Paypal mini cart. But my extension certainly is good, as you have pointed already few of the features in your post. And moreover, people are buying and there are all happy with it

[me.prosenjeet]

make sure when you publish your site that the /vibracart/ folder located on the root of your domain

Yes, that is right. The cart is supposed to work from the root

[me.prosenjeet]

Another important point is when you buy this extension you can be assured you will get all the support you need!!

@me.prosenjeet

(1) for a workarround I have translated some GUI positions into german myself.
vibracart.js
-> document.getElementById("vibracart_widget_items").innerHTML=cart_numitems+" Artikel"
-> document.write("<p class=\"vibracart_widget_view\"><a href=\"\" class=\"vibracart_widget_view\" onclick=\"showCart(); return(false)\">Korb</a></p>\n")
-> document.write("<p class=\"vibracart_widget_check\"><a href=\"\" class=\"vibracart_widget_check\" onClick='checkOut(); return(false)'>PayPal</a></p>\n")
-> checkout.png
-> updatecart.png

(2) I'm detect that your current Release is not yet allowed to use with german law for online shops. So it's necessary that you inform a customer for your "General terms of business" together with an order. I'm include an workarround into vibracart.js

function checkOut()
{
if (cart_busy)
return
if (cart_numentries==0)
return

alert ( 'Ich habe die AGB und die darin befindlichen Informationen über das Widerrufsrecht gelesen und bin mit deren Geltung einverstanden. Ich habe die Informationen über den Datenschutz gelesen. Achtung: Der Aufruf der nachfolgenden Seite bei PayPal kann mehrere Sekunden dauern. Bitte haben Sie etwas Geduld.' );

...

So it's necessary for an german shop that a customer accept the "General terms of business" together with an order. Perhaps you can include any useful feature for this for next Release.

[me.prosenjeet]

Bourin,
Thanks for your suggestion.

So it's necessary that you inform a customer for your "General terms of business" together with an order.

This is to be added on the pages that the cart is on. This need not be added on the cart itself which works on the background and simply adds/removes products and directs to billing via paypal.

A text can be added on the pages
"Your purchasing from our shop implies that you accept the General terms of Business" (linked to a page with the detailed conditions)

[bourin]

"... A text can be added on the pages "Your purchasing from our shop implies that you accept the General terms of Business" (linked to a page with the detailed conditions) ..."

I'm affraid this is not enough for german online e-commerce law. I need following solution here:

(1) a customer press the "checkout" button to jump into PayPal area.

(2) Between (1) und (3) - the customer have to accept the General terms of Business, for instance with any checkbox or an messagebox with OK, Cancel. Only if the checkbox is true or the the messagebox is returned via OK it's allowed to jump into (3). So I have placed my workarround for this german situation into your vibracart.js sources.

(3) Now he go into a Paypal side to login into any account.

[me.prosenjeet]

I see what you mean. German market seems to be quite different.
Thanks for pointing that out

As you mention the lines:

Code: Select all

function checkOut()
{
if (cart_busy)
return
if (cart_numentries==0)
return 

alert ( 'Ich habe die AGB und die darin befindlichen Informationen über das Widerrufsrecht gelesen und bin mit deren Geltung einverstanden. Ich habe die Informationen über den Datenschutz gelesen. Achtung: Der Aufruf der nachfolgenden Seite bei PayPal kann mehrere Sekunden dauern. Bitte haben Sie etwas Geduld.' );

Where have you added these lines to vibracart.js?

[bourin]

"... German market seems to be quite different. ..." - Oh yes, all very hard, laws, laws, laws ...

My workaround for instance under http://www.thai-seide-shop.de/schals-1.php

[me.prosenjeet]

OK, got it, Line 596 onwards
Will do the update for the german clients soon

UPDATE 20.06.2011

As suggested by Bourin,
Added the option to add a Terms and Condition Acceptance Splash before the client is passed over to Paypal once he clicks on 'Checkout' button.
Thanks Bourin!

HI Folks
Having problems getting the Vibracart extn to work.
When the 'add to cart' button is pressed it goes straight to paypal,
rather than popping up the shopping cart.
Website is http://www.littleredgate.net/choose.html

Have paid for extn & downloaded the zip file.
Extracted the zip file and ended up with a number of .wbx files
instructions seem to say - "upload the extracted files to the root of your server" -
have uploaded the wbx files but I think this may not be right...

The html is calling for files along the lines of settingsstyle1.js - but I can't seem to find these anywhere on my PC
(which is probably why it's not working ?)

I did email the author earlier - but asking here in case my email didn;t get through, or in the hope
that somebody else has had the same problem and solved it.


Thanks
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
I got your mail just now. Please note we are all from different time zones and hence the response time will differ.
Did you go through the detailed help pdf that comes with the extension before starting with it? By reading your mail, it gives me an impression that you have not gone through the "Manual Vibracart WB extension.pdf" help pdf. Because your cart is not at all installed properly.
Further, the issue you are facing, I will respond to your email personally.

[Navaldesign]

Paid extensions support should not be provided through this forum as it is not of general interest. Please use private means of comunication for this.

You are right Naval, that's why I wrote:
