Hello 🙂

I have a Papayl account but don’t know how to set up Virtuemart so when a customer click checkout goes to the PP page for entering your Visa/Mastercard or login to PP.
I’ve tried different settings but it allways just does to the normal PP login page.

I want to try sell a digital download… so after purchase the customer should get a download link to the file.

Does someone have some info (tutorial) on how this works? :-*

BTW: hurray for all new 1.5 templates 🙂

Best regards

Jake:

Have you researched this issue on the VirtueMart website? I know that VirtueMart allows for digital downloads, and given that it’s an ecommerce application, I would think that there is information available for how to configure it with PayPal.

My suggestion would be to check the VirtueMart Forums – especially under the “Payment Modules” section(s) and see if you can elicit some assistance there.

Good Luck !!!

TOM

Just a thought… Maybe consider another e-commerce solution. I wonder if iJooml’s “DigiStore” would work better for you (http://www.ijoomla.com/ijoomla-digistore/ijoomla-digistore/index/). It does not seem as intensive to setup as virtuemart and it is specifically for digital downloads.

lonnstrom: thanks.. but since Larix allready has a nice impletation of Virtuemart i like to use that.
I just don’t know how to configure it… it should be quite straight forward entering your Paypal e-mail address but for some reason it ends up on the normal Paypal login page instead of the one were you can choose to pay with Visa etc.

tcraw1010: thanks.. i’ll ask there and see what respons i can get there.

The wierd thing is that i actually tried this in Joomla 1.x and Virtuemart a few months ago and got it to work direct… when i pressed purchase i ended up on the Paypal page for paying with card or Paypal… and i just entered my Paypal e-mail in the configuration.
Maybe the new Virtuemart has some bug or need special configuration.

Another option you might want to look at is Magento, http://www.magentocommerce.com/. I have been taking a look at it myself and seems to have a lot of users and good community for help, etc.

The thing with Magento is that it’s still not yet “fully” released. They are just now starting with the community relationships and development. No doubt, through, it’s going to be a robust ecommerce solution. It will most definitely give snails-pace VirtueMart a run for their money.

Magento looks interesting, but it is a stand alone solution and not for integration with Joomla.. right?

Just do a search on Joomla: http://www.magentocommerce.com/search/results/?q=joomla

It has been discussed a lot in their forums.
