Title: Image Gallery site
Post by: jon.m on December 21, 2007, 18:12:06 PM
Third Joomla! site, but first one with VirtueMart.   I've kept it simple.

http://store.milanimages.com (http://store.milanimages.com)

It's linked from the main gallery site http://www.milanimages.com (http://www.milanimages.com) and organized in a similar fashion, so navigation through the gallery and the store are similar.

I like the sh404sef product -- searches for product names are easily found on Google, for example "Pangea Uncovered".    Am still working on the Yahoo search engine hits, though.

Nice site and nice store.

I have a question, as I am looking at setting up a similar site. I went through the motions of ordering something on your store and it was a little confusing how it jumped the 'payment method' step and in the confirm order step paypal had been selected automatically. Did you have the option to have the payment method step still there and the person being able to see paypal as the only choice? My reasoning is not everyone has paypal and they might decide not to order at that point or to e-mail you with the issue of them not having paypal.

Also, after you do confirm the order (I didnt go beyond that) what do you get, the paypal invoice to actually make the payment from?

Thanks for your time.

First of all, sorry to take so long to reply.  The notification wasn't set on this thread (fixed that now).

The only payment gateway I've configured is PayPal, since that will take Credit Cards as well as allowing a Paypal account for payment.  Paypal seems to bury that fact in a tiny link on their gateway's front door.  So I may need to add another payment gateway, in which case I expect the choice will appear.

When using PayPal, a confirmation comes back to my site and I will be notified by VM to process the invoice, if all works properly.
