Notifications on payments are not reliable. 2. Expired Cards are not updated - Nice little cheat her, you can update a credit card adding 2 years to the experation year and it works a fair amount without customer interaction. 3. I know there was a 3rd but I'll stop here I can't remember the exact reason why we switched to CIM processing but it's amazing... you just need to handle your own recurring cycles and re-charge attempts based on decline reasons. It's a bit more work going CIM route, but then again I know 100% what's valid in my system every day, what's in re-try mode for declines, what we canceled because of re-try attempts that continue to decline etc. Think that's similar to Shift4 they provide a Authorize.Net provides a CustomerID and PaymentID because you can have multiple cards associated with one profile. then you just select the CustomerId PaymentId and amount to charge each month. http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/merchantservices/cim/ ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Shopping Cart Delivery Charge
You can carry a variable through your cfloop/cfoutput query to hold the running total of the surcharges. You can also hit the database with a new call for the sum, as other have mentioned. You can also do: William > Hi > > I am building a shopping cart which calculates shipping charges, some > products also have an additional surcharge.

Re: Shopping Cart Delivery Charge
The surcharge is for each product, you can only buy one main product at at time (multiple purchases are treated as trade), you can also add multiple accessories (which have no delivery charge) Shopping cart items are stored in the session. I am exploring the sum route at the moment. Thank you all for your response. > Do you already have a query with your shopping cart? If so, just use a > query-of-query (with SUM()).

Re: Shopping Cart Recommendation?
> Someone also mentioned another cart to me today called AbleCommerce. > I hadn't come across that one yet -- has anyone ever had experience > with it? Well, I can only briefly comment as it's a competitor to my product and it's been awhile since I had any direct access to a copy. But it's been around for awhile, as it was the first real ecommerce platform for ColdFusion and has a large, active community still. The main issue people have with it these days (and typically the reason I get from people that switch to my product) is that it no longer is really a ColdFusion application, it merely uses ColdFusion as the front-end to the underlying Java code. So it's considerably harder to modify than most of the other products listed here (assuming you are a CF developer and not a Java developer). You'd certainly want to make sure that you won't need to add or change any core functions to determine how much of an issue this is...which is not a bad assessment to do in any case prior to purchase to know how well any particular product meets your needs. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:296215 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

If you want to email me off-list I can talk more to that. > > Hey Hatton, I'd be interested in hearing what you did with T-Hub. T-Hub acts as an SOAP/XML intermediary between the Quickbooks API and any web interface. In short, it handles 4 basic transaction types spanning 3 "Levels": Level 1: Order Export - Sends a basic request asking for orders. The store has to return an XML structure that contains ALL information about the order including customer details (bill and ship to), payment details (method, discounts, gift certificates, extra charges), and all product details. This level of integration can be done with any store that will dump said information in a CSV file OR can be done via the XML method provided certification is attained (see note below). Level 2: Order Payment Status Update - Since T-Hub monitors Quickbooks, as soon as a payment is made on an invoice the system can be triggered to update the payment status on the website. This happens via a SOAP request where T-Hub sends a packet that includes the order number and other specifics. The web store has to acknowledge receipt of the data. It must be certified by Atandra. Order Shipment Status Update - Same as Payment, only with shipping information. Level 3: Product Inventory/Price Import - T-Hub collects the information about the products in the QB database and sends them via XML to the web store. The store must be able to dynamically add product, manufacturers, categories and update price and inventory. Certification is needed for this step. What is this "certification"? Atandra will certify that a store software package works with T-Hub for a fee. We have a client that needs only Level 3, but that fee is $750. We have passed that cost on to the client and are working on a client specific version of the integration code at this time. We have two other clients that are interested in the rest of the integration and are planning on building out complete integration to the T-Hub standards as soon as they commit to the quote. Certification provides a few different things. The main one being that they list packages that have been certified. It's quite the interesting business model. They built this tool to interface between QB and web... and if a web package wants to be "okayed" to interface with T-Hub you have to pay THEM money to test YOUR code.

If you want to email me off-list I can talk more to that. Hey Hatton, I'd be interested in hearing what you did with T-Hub. Obviously I do get asked about Quickbooks integration fairly frequently, but there's so many good 3rd party products out there that specialize in this, it just makes more sense to let them handle it using a order export from the store versus my trying to constantly stay updated with what Intuit does (hard enough keeping up with PayPal, UPS, FedEx, AuthNet and all the other payment gateways, etc.!) There's a couple others I usually recommend but always interested to hear about others people might be using. --- Mary Jo ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:296090 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Shopping Cart Recommendation?
+6 for CFWebStore - that's how many installations we have going right now, with a few more coming down the pike soon. Pros: * It's fusebox based. * It's got solid documentation * It's completely skinnable and modifyable * It has everything you're talking about except one - Quickbooks For the QuickBooks integration, that requires a product called T-Hub by Atandra along with some custom coding on your part to build the interface. If you want to email me off-list I can talk more to that. Definitely worth the cost!

Re: Shopping Cart Theory
> What would the rest of you consider the optimal way to store items > before checking out? One request that the client made was that you could have an account - but that it be possible to shot/checkout *without* and account as well. So, there's a "sign in to retrieve your data" before you checkout, or you can just checkout without signing in. This requires a temporary id with temporary storage until we know who the actual shopper is. If you have an account, then a cookie is set (when allowed) and the site knows who you are whenever you return anyway - if you selected the "remember me" option at some point...

RE: Shopping Cart Theory
I use CF Webstore which stores shopping cart data in a database table. I
think this is more customer-friendly since average mortals don't want to be
troubled by session expiration.

Subject: Shopping Cart Theory
I'm building a small shopping cart for a client - seems quicker to go
from scratch than try to wrestle something already built back into our
specific needs. Although I've done a couple of these, I was just
wondering...
What would the rest of you consider the optimal way to store items
before checking out?
Session var with an array?
A temporary "holding database" for the items with just a UUID Session
Var to keep up with the owner?
I'm leaning towards the array in a session var - but this is on a shared
server and I've seen sessions time out unexpectedly before, which
wouldn't be good ("where'd all my stuff go???").
Anybody else?

Re: Shopping Cart Theory
I have done both. It really depends on what the client wants and the hosting
environment. I did one where the items were held in a temporary database
table with a UUID simply because the client wanted to make sure that the
customer could come back to their items if they either changed their minds
later on or if something happened like their computer shut down
unexpectedly. I put a time/date stamp on the cart and would purge the cart
after 5 days.
We also set it up so that if a registered (i.e. logged in customer) was
shopping and they did not finalize their purchase, it would kick an email to
them saying that they still had items in their cart and that they were going
to be deleted in x days, and gave them a link to go back to the site and
decide if they wanted to buy the items.
I personally favor the holding of the items myself for the reason you said
below, if something happens, you don't want the customer to have to go back
and put all their items back into the cart. That would be a fast way to get
me away from your site.

Re: Shopping Cart Theory
I'm for storing them in a table. I suppose that if you wanted to allow
"guest" shopping, you could assign a temporary user id (some UUID) and store
it on their machine as a cookie, and then use that as a key in the "cart"
table. That's just a thought off the top of my head, so there could be some
issues that I've not thought about, but it seems like a solid idea.

Re: Shopping cart?
Doug, here's what I've always done. User visits site - CF creates a shopping cart key (createUUID()) and stores it in the session scope, as a cookie, or puts it into a very simple CARTS table. My cart_contents table looks like this (pardon the caps, I still use caps for SQL) CREATE TABLE CART_CONTENTS ( CART_KEY char(35) NOT NULL default '', PRODUCT_ID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', OPTION_ID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', QUANTITY int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', ACCESS_TIME datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00', PRIMARY KEY (CART_KEY,PRODUCT_ID,OPTION_ID) ) TYPE=MyISAM; This setup allows me to have multiple SIZES/COLORS of each product in the cart, and keep them separate. The "access_time" field allows me to delete old cart contents. When the user checks out, an ORDER is created in the ORDERS table, and the I *COPY* the cart_contents items into an ORDER_CONTENTS table with the same structure, except the order_contents table also contains the CURRENT price of the product. Never rely on your products table for historical price information. I had a customer that was constantly changing prices, and if I only did joins to the product table to get price, things would get ugly. You could optionally maintain a "price_history" table or something, but that overcomplicates it if you ask me. After checkout is complete, the cart_key stored in the session scope is deleted... if they do more shopping, an ew cart_key gets created.

Re: Shopping cart questions?
You could serialize the cart (using WDDX or some other method) and put it in the client scope. I also think just using a database is a good option. Using a database would allow you to easily see your customers' carts, which might be useful from a support perspective. Also, it would allow a customer to put ads in his cart and log in later from another computer to pick up where he left off.

Re: shopping cart integration
Hi Mary, We are using your product and the integration options work well for us. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on a related subject. As an e-commerce merchant we don't just accept payments. There are refunds, exchanges, fraudulent transactions, etc. I've been extremely dissatisfied with options available through Verisign Payment manager. It lets you do things easily enough, but the interface is clunky and slow. I can't even look up transactions based on a persons name, I have to download a CSV report and then search through it. So, are there any other more flexible payment gateways?

In terms of connecting to the bank, you generally use an online payment gateway such as Authorize.Net or Verisign PayFlow which handles the processing of the credit card and then depositing the funds through your merchant account.

You might want to check out PayPal's Website Payments Pro. It's a fairly new offering from PayPal and it may do what you want. Customers don't leave your web site. From what I can tell, it doesn't require you to have a credit card merchant account or to have to use a separate payment gateway system like Authorizenet. All for $20/month (which is quite a bit cheaper than paying monthly fees for your credit card merchant account and payment processor). Note: I haven't used it yet, but it looks promising for those wanting to integrate a credit card processing system into their shopping cart and get up and running quickly. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_wp-pro-overview-outside There's also a new solution from Google, Google Checkout, that offers an API for integrating it into an e-commerce site: https://checkout.google.com/sell?promo=sbhp Again, I have no experience with this and only heard about it recently.

RE: shopping cart integration

Re: shopping cart suggestions
It really only costs $250 for as many sites as I can develop? I like the idea of the store only consisting of three include files. What I'm trying to get at here is to make it so my more junior developers can easily wrap their heads around this and have the ability to make changes if need be without having to learn any complicated framework. Personally, I like CFWebStore, but it is just too much for our less-experienced people to handle. I'm learning to hate FuseBox more and more every day. :) Matt Williams wrote: > Cartweaver is a pretty good deal. One time fee for multiple stores.

Re: shopping cart suggestions
I always have to apologize for dropping the recommendation on a CF list, but the best one I've ever used is www.x-cart.com. It's a PHP MySQL app, but I just can't say enough good about it. It's a great app; it's well supported; it's constantly updated; it's got tons of add-ons available; it's really easy to install and equally easy to manage -- very powerful to boot. I REALLY like it. -Ferg Ray Champagne wrote: > I need some.

Cartweaver is a pretty good deal. One time fee for multiple stores. Code is editable, store elements are easily implemented into existing site.

Re: shopping cart suggestions
I am in the process of setting up a store using CFWebstore. It's Fusebox 3.0 which takes a bit of getting used to, but once you're comfortable it's pretty straightforward to do customization.

Interesting, I was actually looking at the LiteCommerce product by the same company that makes X-Cart. LiteCommerce appears to be a bit easier to do UI customizations on at this point. This is going way off topic for this list now, but as I have been fighting it all morning, I will take help any where I can get it. LiteCommerce requires PHP 4.x (not 5).

RE: Shopping Cart qty problems.
Well my Internet was shut down yesterday for the whole day so I had to work on this myself. I decided it would be easier to just let ppl adjust the qty during checkout via up and down arrows that add or subtract one to the qty (or del the item if 1 item is left) and I got it to work fine that way. Thanks for the effort anyways and sorry I wasnt clear enough on what I was doing.

RE: Shopping Cart Coupon facility
Hey thanks guys, I can see what I need to do. mike -Original Message- From: Ken Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 2 December 2005 4:40 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Shopping Cart Coupon facility There's not enough information here to tell you EXACTLY what to do. However, an overview of what you need to do follows. You need to alter your coupon creation code to add the ability to select products or groups of products, depending on your organization, to which the coupon will apply. Then you'll need to alter the function below such that it checks a person's cart contents against a query for the products in the valid groups... So in the coupon creation, they should be able to select product categories (jerseys...) or specific products.

Re: Shopping Cart Coupon facility
There's not enough information here to tell you EXACTLY what to do. However, an overview of what you need to do follows. You need to alter your coupon creation code to add the ability to select products or groups of products, depending on your organization, to which the coupon will apply. Then you'll need to alter the function below such that it checks a person's cart contents against a query for the products in the valid groups... So in the coupon creation, they should be able to select product categories (jerseys...) or specific products. Then in the isValid function you should check, given the coupon code, whether it's limited to a certain group of products. Then you'll just check the cart to see if the products there meet the criterion. You can be as specific as you like too. You could make it such that they're good for specific products or you could make them invalid for specific products... --Ferg Mike | NZSolutions Ltd wrote: >hi there, > >i have the following function which checks the validity of a coupon code >at checkout time. when uploading a new coupon, the site admin can >specify a minimum amount spent as well as having it available for any >purchase... >-- >returntype="numeric"> > > > > > password="#Request.App.DBpassword#" username="#Request.App.DBusername#"> >SELECT promotion_id > FROM promotions > WHERE promotion_uuid = value="#arguments.promotion_uuid#"> > AND dExpiry >= >AND amount_min <= value="#arguments.order_subtotal#" scale="2"> AND enabled = > > > > > password="#Request.App.DBpassword#" username="#Request.App.DBusername#"> > SELECT promotion_id > FROM promotions_to_customer > WHERE promotion_id = value="#getPromotion.promotion_id#"> > AND customer_id = value="#arguments.customer_id#"> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >-- > >now, the client has requested that a particular coupon only be available >if the customer has a selected product (or product type eg. jerseys) in >their cart. > >i am a bit lost as to how i should be modifying the above to account for >this. > >any help would be really appreciated. > >Regards >Mike > > > > ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:225827 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: Shopping Cart Coupon facility
Sorry to sound so hack-like, but how about putting a code in the coupon (coupon = jer456 or jer897 for a coupon meant for a jersey) that specifies what the coupon specifically applies to, with a generic code which specifies no required product (coupon = gen345 for generic). Then if the coupon is not generic, meaning a specific product should be in the cart, call a function that loops over cart contents looking for the specific product type, returning pass/fail result.

Gotchya - Naw the Party Entity Model works like this: (as per ofBiz Site) "A Party can be either a Person, or a group of Parties. A Party Group could be a company, an organization within the company, a supplier, a customer, and so forth. Information that describes Parties or is directly related to Parties is contained in these entities." In short - this level of abstraction is something I've seen even commercial products missing. Something to consider in an O.S. shopping cart scenario. I mean, how many devlopers JUST stop at the front end of e-commerce. There are alot of other systems that (in the end) it will have to work with. Take fulfillment and warehousing for instance. And having a good entity model right up front can help you from getting blasted down the road when you have to say: integrate a shopping cart with an order fulfillment system.

Re: Shopping Cart solution - any others to look at?
If you have time and skill, rolling your own is uaually a nice option but one that involves a certain amount of research into things like payment gateways, etc. I'm looking to use cartweaver for clients of Dinowitz and Associates and have been looking over and modifying their code in places where I feel it might look cleaner or tighter. I'm passing my suggestions back to them which will probably result in some upgrades to their product if they like what I did. > I'm currently evaluating some e-commerce solutions for an upcoming > project. > Past postings have pointed me to look at cartweaver, cfwebstore and > ablecommerce.

My advice, and this is gonna be wildly unpopular on this list, is to use X-Cart (www.x-cart.com). It's PHP not CF, but it is very good. I've used it in a number of situations and I've never regretted it. I always wished I was better at PHP when using it, as it would have taken me a lot less time to do some of the custom mods I did, but it really is a nice app. Actually, what I really wished is that I had time to dedicate to making a CF store app that matched X-Cart feature for feature -- that would be the perfect scenario. It's cheap too; for a complete Gold license with source and all is only $200 and it will give you, I bet, everything you need. I agree with the others that building your own cart is the way to go, but if time is an issue you can get x-cart up and running and loaded with products in just a couple of days. --Ferg Scott Mulholland wrote: >Our plan is to roll our own out in the future, the creation of it is not a >factor for us on this one, the timeframe is so we are looking to go off the >shelf this time around. > >-Original Message- >From: Larry Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 10:04 AM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Re: Shopping Cart solution - any others to look at? > > > >>I'm currently evaluating some e-commerce solutions for an upcoming >>project. >>Past postings have pointed me to look at cartweaver, cfwebstore and >>ablecommerce.

We may end up doing that, right now just trying to see what else is out there that may be affordable and worth using. -Original Message- From: Snake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 5:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Shopping Cart solution - any others to look at?
