E-commerce

This module can be used by other modules to collect and track payments. Through this API, any module can provide a payment form and payments can be handled and tracked centrally.

Payment forms

A payment form is the result of any business rules that include a request or recommendation of payment. Examples include shopping cart checkout pages, donation forms, event registration pages, user registration forms, or tip jars.

A module using this payment API can be very simple or very complex, implementing any amount of business rules that result in a payment request. From there, Pay collects payment information and submits it through a configured payment backend. All payment activities, no matter what they're for, are stored in one place for tracking and reporting purposes.

Modules that implement payment forms include:

• Donate, which can be downloaded here.
• Webform Pay, which adds a Webform component to collect payments.

If you develop a new payment form module, please let us know so that we can add it to this list.

Payment backends

A payment form can support one or more payment methods, using the functionality of a payment method handler. Support for the following backends are available for Pay:

The file module in the Ecommerce package is quite helpful and I'm thankful for many ideas and code I got from there, but I've noticed that in many sites clients get a little lost when they need to register a Drupal account, wait for a confirmation email and then login and go to "My Files" page to get their files. This can reduce the sales of ebooks.

The Quickfile module creates a new node type called 'quickfile'.

With the Quickfile module clients just need to visit three web pages, when using a credit card, in a single session to make the payment and download a file.

This module allows site administrators to add a "block" to their site the contains of which is a predefined image (uploaded separately) dependent upon the current path.
