eCommerce for Plone

Introduction

PCommerce (Plone commerce) provides a simple shop system which supports:

• product variations

• multiple prices per product to support special prices per user or group (over the sharing tab) and prices only available for a specific time (by using the expiration date)

• multiple pluggable payment methods

• multiple currencies by using Products.CurrencyUtility

Pluggable Payment Methods

To register a new payment method for PCommerce register a utility implementing the IPaymentMethod interface. If your payment method requires data from the user set the pre_view_name attribute of the utility to the name of the view implementing IPreOrderView which provides the necessary fields. If you would like to display information after ordering set the post_view_name attribute to the name of the view providing those.

For a simple example pcommerce.email provides a payment method which simply sends an email to the administrator containing the billing address.
