powerstore 2 with paypal standard

hello
i own powerstore 2 and e-cart 5. I was wondering:
1. if i use e-cart to modify powerstore to accept payments through paypal standard, do i have to change something at the globals file?
2. Will the total ammount of the cart including the flat shipping rates i crafted, be charged by paypal to te user making the purchase? I mean, i want the user to be charged the total price WITH the flat rate shipping costs. This will happen, right?
3. What does the "inventory control" means? (I'm not english :)
I saw in a post that this PS feature will be disabled if i choose ppal standard...
Could you clarify this please?

thanks again

Hello there,
I think I can answer your question no.3. Inventroy means the stock of each product.

1) Instead of using PayPal Payments Standard, you should sign up to use Paypal Express Checkout:
e_howto_api_ECGettingStarted

using Express Checkout is free.


you can then delete the checkout form on the checkout page.

2) yes, the cart will carry over all of the shipping charges to paypal.


3) Inventory control tracks the number of items you have in your store against the items being purchased to ensure that you will be able to fulfill the order.

hello jason
thanks for replying

1. I do not want to use paypal express checkout, it only accepts paypemnt from people who have paypal account... Why shouldn't i use paypal standard? Using paypal express will allow powerstore to keep the inventory control?

2. Is there a way to keep the inventory control with paypal standard? It sound very useful...
Do i have to custom code powerstore in some way?

Thanks Jason

I was suggesting PayPal express because it is a free service that will not break the inventory control.



You can use paypal standard, and not have to change anything in the globals file.


no, you cannot use paypal standard and maintain inventory control.
