How to implement the webstore

Hi,

I made my website with MojoPortal some months and would like now to add a webstore.

It seems that I read everything related to it on your site, but I cannot understand where to begin: how to add products and how to create a cart in a webpage?

By the way, I don't know how to code.

Thanks for your help

Re: How to implement the webstore

create a page where you want your store

add an instance of the WebStore feature to the page

use administration links in webstore shown on the page to 

create products

but you can't sell products directly, they are sold through Offers, so you have to then create offers and add products to the offer and set the price. you can have a 1 to one relationship between products and offers but you can also have multiple products in a single offer, ie you can sell and album of mp3 files

once products and offers are defined and enabled for sale the instance on the page will show them and there will be a cart link on the store page (there is a way to put a cart link on all site pages later after the store is working)

WebStore is mainly good at selling download products, there is no support for separate shipping costs.

In order to work it also requires a payment gateway to be configured or paypal to be configured

you can also poke around on our demo site where you can login as admin and we have a store and products all set up, so you can compare the way things are setup there with your own site

Re: How to implement the webstore

Thanks a lot for your answer!

Here are my questions:

1) Actually I don't understand the step "add an instance of the WebStore feature to the page".

What does it mean? How do I do that?

2) I would like to sell physical products like beauty accessories. It doesn't matter if there is no shipping cost calculated as I want to sell the products with an invoice to people (the way it is usually done in Switzerland).

Can I do it with the Mojo Webstore? Or do I have no choice than to configure a payment gateway?

Re: How to implement the webstore

1. You know how to add an instance of Html to a page right? Its the same way but choose WebStore from the dropdown list instead of Html content. The demo video on the home page of our demo site shows how to add a Html instance to a page.

2. WebStore is a very basic ecommerce feature for supporting online sales and online payments, I don't think it is suited to what you are talking about, it does not work at all without some payment system enabled.
