Phoca Forum

Hi !
I would like to sell photos from my gallery Phoca and I would like this options:
- For each gallery: An "Add to cart" button so the client could pay and download all the pictures of this gallery
- For each photo from a gallery : the client could select if he wants the picture in digital or print format, and if he wants digital format I would like him to be able to choose between 2 differents definitions (HD or 1200px), and if he wants print format I would like him to be able to choose between differents sizes. And then, after payment I would like digital photos to be downloadable by the client (or send it by e-mail) and for print photos I would like to send an e-mail to the photographer so he could prepare the command.

Do you think it's possible with Phoca and how ? I saw a lot of things to sell digital photos or print but not both

Hi, I think, this will be possible with Phoca Cart:

https://www.phoca.cz/phocacartdemo/

But this will take some time until it will be ready.

Do you think it would be easier with Phoca Cart than with Phoca connected with Virtuemart ? (If it is possible with Virtuemart)
I have seen that Phoca Cart is still under development and features are missing like payment methods, I'm afraid of not being able to do all I want with Phoca Cart ... ?

Hi, I really cannot say, try to test the Alpha2 version, I am planning to implement paypal method soon. Yes, in case you are building the solution now, you should use Phoca Gallery and the icon link to VM product

Hi, I have to finish it in july... Do you know when it could be ready ? ...

Unfortunately I don't know, e-shop solution is difficult system so really no idea when the testing will be done

Ok,
But does it mean there is no payment method at all ? Not even Paypal ?

Hi, there is whole structure for payments - so e.g. now you can create a payment method: "cash on delivery". Of course I will implement payment methods but we are in the beginning, first the structure must be created and tested and then additional features can be build on basics features. We are now still in alpha (alpha2) where the structure is working and needs to be tested (normally it takes a lot of years to build all the features into e-commerce solution, so for now I really need, the alpha2 will be tested).
