webshop

Dear C5 users,
For a friend I want to make a website in C5 with a nice webshop.

Is there a good reliable webshop / e-commerce theme or add on available ??

I can't find something

Gr. Stefan.

Your best option is the concrete5 community store. You can download it here:https://github.com/concrete5-community-store/community_store/release...

Hi
Do you have an example of a working webshop with this add on?

There are a few examples on this issue thread here:

Keep in mind that Community Store is a bit more developer focused. You could use it with a default install and Elemental, but it's perhaps more intended as a base for use with custom developed themes and setups.

If you are looking to sell only a few items, you might also want to check out our add-on here:

Thanks for the suggestions you both!

Well a web shop is perhaps a big word.

The plan is to build a website in C5 with paintings and work of this friend artist of me and if people wants to buy a copy of one of the paintings, that they can click a buy button. So actually we need just a good payment service . The snipcart add on seems to be a good option. I dont want to use the Paylpall button because people will hesitate to buy if the see the Paypall button. (yes I know paypall gives also the option to pay with cards.)

Some questions for the snipcart add on:
- is there a functionality that after payment a message can be send by e-mail about the order? So that the person who have to take care for the delivery gets all the info?
- I suppose the owner of the website needs a business bank account?
- Is there a possibility to use ONLY the buy button under or at the side of the painting-info?

Thanks for your replies ...

Sorry, almost missed your questions here. See below:

>> is there a functionality that after payment a message can be send by e-mail about the order? So that the person who have to take care for the delivery gets all the info?
Yes, Snipcart sends an order notification email with the details of the order, but you can also log into Snipcart itself to review the orders

>> I suppose the owner of the website needs a business bank account?
You can use a Paypal account with Snipcart, there are few different payment gateways you can enable. Snipcart doesn't directly take payments, it uses the gateway you choose. Stripe is a popular option that works well, for it you would need to hook it up to a bank account to receive the funds. I don't think it would need to be a _business_ bank account as such though, I think it can be any bank account. Just note that you do need a credit card to enable Snipcart, for them to charge their fees.

>> Is there a possibility to use ONLY the buy button under or at the side of the painting-info?
Yes, the Snipcart Product blocks allow you to turn on and off the different pieces of information about a product (title, price, image, description), so you can turn everything off except the button itself. This means that you're free to describe your product however you need with other concrete5 blocks and layouts, and you can use the Snipcart product block _just_ as the button.

Here's an example of where we've used just the button on the home page:https://www.truewindsailingcalculator.com/...

Thank you very much, this is helpful because often it is important for me to know some more details before starting with an add on or some software.
