Need to Set Up an E-commerce Site



User: Les C. 12 days ago
I don't see any viable e-commerce options in EW other than a very limited PayPal or Stripe widget.

Is it possible to integrate an app like OpenCart or PrestaShop? Most people seem to use Woo, which is not EW friendly.

Thanks,
LC

Hi Les,

Currently, there are no native widgets for OpenCart or PrestaShop, so if these platforms can provide you with 'embeddable' HTML code, you can easily integrate it by using the HTML Snippet Widget.

For this, you would need to:

1. Add an HTML Snippet widget to your page.
2. Select the widget and go to Inspector > Settings > HTML Code.
3. Paste the code provided by them in the code area.
4. Scroll down and click the 'Apply' button.

This will let you integrate any HTML code they provide in your page.

Kindly note that you can always open a ticket in https://billing.ragesw.com/submitticket.php if you have any specific questions.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the follow up. What I'm looking for is a solution that will not cost me $30+ per month AND allow me to customize an online store to fit the look of my EW site. The current EW e-commerce solutions seem best suited for people selling single items and who don't have strict aesthetic compliance requirements with the rest of their site.

This is my first e-commerce site, so there is a learning curve. Ideally, I would like to use EW for the site if I can do it without a lot of coding, i.e., PayPal or Stripe developer integrations. If I can't pull it off, it looks like the majority of people out there with similar needs to mine are going with WordPress for the site and Woo for the e-commerce integration.

I'll do a follow up post if I can come up with something that will benefit other EW users.

Best,

OpenCart and PrestaShop have turned out not to be viable options. These solutions work best when working with a native OpenCart or PrestaShop native shop.

A friend had suggested Snipcart as a possible way to integrate—unfortunately, there are significant monthly fees.

Stripe's coding requirements are way above my pay grade, so they are out.

I'm back to doing a PayPal "Advanced" integration. It seems to check all the boxes, but the coding requirements may be too demanding.

I know there are a lot of people out there needing an e-commerce solution. I will get back with my findings.
