+1 for more info about shopify integration...

i have a new ecommerce site that has to go into production, and was considering PW+FoxyCart;

I would be interested in the pros/cons re PW+shopify vs other systems...;

i guess it must be mostly features – since foxycart can handle everything with respect to the checkout process, i would wonder what advantage Shopify provides. It costs a lot more as well.

Hi,

The simplest method is to use a subdomain (shop.mydomain.com) for your store and then power the rest of your site with PW.

Most of the time I can build the entire site in Shopify though. FoxyCart is a great option as well.

i think as PW grows in user base, there might be more developers wanting to do ecommerce;

perhaps there should be a forum/subforum where we could consolidate all of the ecommerce-related topics.

Greetings,

In my experience so far, Shopify is great if you want to build the entire system in Shopify -- in other words, use Shopify as your CMS and your full e-commerce actions.

If you want to use ProcessWire as your CMS and pull in just the shopping cart/e-commerce elements and credit card transactions as needed, then FoxyCart is better.

Both solutions have their benefits.  However, ProcessWire excels so wonderfully at being a flexible CMS I want to build all my sites with it.  In that case, something like FoxyCart is better, since it just ties into my ProcessWire site.

Thanks,

Matthew

Where you can do some nice integration with Shopify is via their post order hooks. You can very easily set Shopify to ping a URL on your ProcessWire site with some JSON data about an order, immediately after it takes place. From there you can easily automate creation of member accounts, for example.
