šŸ›’ NEW eCommerce Store Template - use STRIPE, Cashapp or PayPal for selling your products

How did you implement the payment to different stores, how do you manage it?

I created a unique string for each item of every order of every vendor which then allow me to create the cart and it’s total, than I added 3 payments methods.

  1. PayPal - a create a url which open a PayPal page with the amount to pay.
    2 &3 are local digital wallets which don’t have api and don’t allow url creation so I created a button that takes the user to the right app (which needs to be installed in the user’s phone I. Order to use) where the user pay and the a screenshot of he confirmation which then he uploads to the app as reference for the seller.

Mmm, so you didn’t use the glide stripe component if I understood, but you made a link to the seller’s paypal accouunt, with preinfused amount and details?
If that the case, did you use apis or am I missing something?
Thx for the answer(s)

We don’t have stripe in Israel unfortunately so had to find alternative way.
Didn’t use api but rather the PayPal.me that PayPal have to create the link

Ok I understand, so, the user clicks a button that opens the link to the store’s paypal.me, and the user has to then enter tha amount of money they have to pay to the store, right? and then they send the store the screen of the payment as proof?

No, the amount is already part of he link and the user just need to pay. The PayPal account is s
Connect to a system that auto generates the invoice and send it automatically to the customer

Oh nice, can I ask you to tell me more about it, maybe via private message if you prefer?

Hey @yinon_raviv, somehow when this is created lately the link is not taking the amount and/or it says the profile doesn’t exist.

It still works on my other apps that I created a few months ago but it gives me that error with the new ones. Any idea in how to fix it?

You can ask here, happy to answer and help

Not working in my demo or in your apps?
In my demo as this is take data and no real PayPal account is connected

In my new apps.

thanks, I’d like to know how you create the invoice and open the paypal with already the right amount.

So: the user adss items to the cart, clicks the ā€œbuy thisā€ button, gets redirected to pyapal.me screen with already the amount, and the app sends an email or a text with the order that the user just paid for, right?
Can you be sure that the payment has been done?

The invoice is made by a 3rd party tool that I connected to PayPal so that every payment generates the invoice with the amount and a general subject.

Ok, so in this app the flow is as follows:

  1. User adds products to the cart
  2. He then chooses between pickup and shipment
  3. He then confirm the order and prompts to choose payments method, as said above. If he choose PayPal a link open with the amount to pay and the user can choose paying via PayPal either using his PayPal account or credit card. Once paid PayPal updates my invoices services with the deal’s details which generates an invoice and sends to the customer and the vendor.
  4. The users then return to the app and confirm that he paid. If he paid with one of the digital wallets he needs to upload an screenshot of the payment.
  5. Then he can send the vendor the full order summary via sma/whatsapp/mail.
  6. Cycle complete and the cart is empty and the user can by again from a different vendor.

Limitations are that each purchase needs to be made from one vendor at a time as the payment made directly to them using their payments system

I built all from scratch as there were no stripe support not multi candor option.

To use the PayPal link you just need to add a slash and the amount.

E.g. PayPal/me/150

The currency is chosen in paypal and has one default to the account if I remember correctly

Hope this helps

I’m encountering this same limitation, but I think that something can be made to manage it.

Can I ask you how?

It’s an Israeli vendor that has a ready made plugin to PayPal

Hi.Lisa!

I bought this app the other day.

I have a question, isn’t this app integrated with Cash App or PayPal?

On top of that, if you only support USD, people like me who live in Japan can’t use this app, right?

Thanks for purchasing the template!

Yes the app integrates those payment methods by generating payment links for both Pay Pal and CashApp, but is not fully ā€integratedā€ in the sense that the app can automatically read when the paymn is successful.

All purchases are marked as ā€pendingā€ until the store owner confirms they received payment and update the order status.

If you need to convert from USD I can help with the formula. I haven’t updated the template just yet with different currencies.

Thank you for your polite answer!

In that case, do I need consulting rates written in Glidecart wiki separately from the price of the app?

I’ve been working on a few currency formulas for Glidecart 2.0. Just send me an email and we can find time to connect
