Adding Dynamic Content 263

Inserting an e-commerce object (PayPal)

The creation of e-commerce objects within WebPlus takes a Wizard-based

approach. An e-commerce object can be added to the web page as a form or link

(i.e., a simple button or any object's hyperlink) by completion of a series of

dialogs. Whether you choose to use forms or links depends on the characteristics

of the items you are planning to sell, and how you want to sell your goods.

For example, if you are a trader wishing to sell

a quantity of bricks you could create an

E-Commerce button (as a Buy Now link).

This option would make an assumption about

the potential transaction, i.e. that all the bricks

are the same style/color and that the buyer would wish to purchase a fixed

amount.

This is because a link is only a button and cannot host any "interactive" buying

options that would be need for more complex purchases. One buyer's click will

buy a standard product offering—nothing more. Useful in some situations but in

others completely inadequate.

More complex purchases using E-Commerce Forms offer user interactivity

coupled with flexibility. If we take the brick trader as an example again, a form

can be used to host quantity and brick style/color options so that the customer

has control and can get what he/she wants!

Here the web visitor has chosen to buy 3600 bricks of style "Clamp - Orange."

The dialog that is displayed when you add an e-commerce object will entirely

depend on the currently enabled shopping cart provider (see Configuring your

Shopping Cart provider on p. 261).

The following procedures assume that PayPal is configured as your

shopping cart.
